By the one who is denoted by the name Allah (who created my being with His Names in accord with the meaning of the letter ‘B’), the Rahman, the Rahim.

1. Say: “Allah is Ahad (One).” (Allah is the infinite, limitless and indivisible, non-dual ONENESS.)

2. “Allah is Samad.” (Absolute Self-Sufficient One beyond any need or defect, free from the concept of multiplicity, and far from conceptualization and limitation. The one into whom nothing can enter, and the One from whom no other form of existence can come out!)

3. “He begets not. (No other form of existence has ever originated from Him, thus, there is no other.) Nor was He begotten.” (There is no other god or form of existence from which He could have originated.)

4. “There is none like unto Him!” (Nothing – no conception – in the micro or macro planes of existence is equivalent to or in resemblance of Him.)
