Qul Huwallāhu Aḥad (1) Allāhuṣ-Ṣamad (2) Lam yalid wa lam yūlad (3) Wa lam yakul-lahū kufuwan aḥad (4).
"The Prophet (ﷺ) asked his companions: "Is any one of you incapable of reciting one-third of the Quran in a single night?" They asked, "How could one do that?" He said: "Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad is equal to one-third of the Quran."" — Sahih Muslim (811)
The teachings of the Quran are categorized into three core domains: Islamic Monotheism (Aqeedah/Tawheed), Laws & Commandments (Shariah), and Stories & Admonitions. Surah Al-Ikhlas is dedicated purely to the attributes and Oneness of Allah.
Reciting the three Quls three times in the morning and evening protects from all evil, harm, sorcery, and envy (Sunan Abi Dawud 5082).
