Last 7 Surahs were all about the Seerah of the prophet (s.a.w). Abu Lahab, the worst enemy of the messenger, is served up. When a conflict has been going on for a long time, people forget what they were fighting about. So it is important that after the victory, you remember the agenda of the battle and the conquest.
surah maryam ch:19 v:88-90
It is a blessing of Allah that the sky and the earth is still maintained because of Tawheed.
The pagan arabs asked him what is Allah made of, metal, gold, sliver. So this Surah was revealed. So the Surah is هُوَ He is....
اللَّهُ - ilha One to Whom people desperately turn. The One to be worshiped and obeyed.
أَحَدٌ - There isn't a single one else. Absolutely no one at all. It is used in negation. The one there is no second. The One for Whom any entity which is comparable, equal, partners possible. There is nothing like Him. He has no pair or affiliation.
الصَّمَدُ One you turn to in time of need. Someone as your goal. Aspire to meet them, reach them, please them. This is why the Surah is called Ikhlaas - sincerity. No one is above in status. Has no blemishes or faults in Him. Cannot be overcome in battle. Great in terms of His glory.
Solid with no holes or emptiness inside. Pure and absolute and concrete without any flaws. The One Who everyone needs but He needs no one Himself. He is Gracious and Merciful.
Abu Lahab thought he needs no one and since he is the treasurer, everyone needs him. He worshiped himself. He said, curse this religion, you think I will become equal to these people. He thought that he was alone.
لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ
He didn't father anyone, nor is He fathered Himself.
You give birth to your own, cat begets a cat.
Giving birth or being born implies that you have a beginning an end. So we do not associate this with Allah.
What is the disease of the heart? Saying that Allah has a son has a psychological affect. If your boss is a really strict, your manager is a cool guy and he is your cousin. So you let your manager deal with the boss. So when we do shirk, we assume that we make someone close to Allah happy and they will intervene for me. Just make the son happy and he will take care of the father. To cover their haram business, they cannot fess up to Allah so they donate their haram earnings to this guy in the grave who will hopefully make your case before Allah.
We learn to completely give ourselves to Allah. It rescues you from sadness and depression. You can take your problems to Allah. Always go and you will always get.
