Last week we looked at the relationship between some verses of the Surah Ikhlas and the Jewish belief in the Unity of Godhead. This week we look at the remaining chapter and consider how it deals with the doctrine of Sonship of Jesus.

Desires
Surah Al-Ikhlas is the 112th Chapter of the Holy Quran.
It is the second most important chapter of the Holy Quran after Surah Fatiha – the very first Surah. The Holy Prophet (s) is reported to have said that Surah Al-Iklhas by itself is equal to one third of the Holy Quran.
In this Khutba we look at human desires in the light of Surah Al-Ikhlas and the following chapters and verses of the Holy Quran;
Chapter 7, Verse 19
And (We said): O Adam, dwell thou and thy wife in the garden, so eat from whence you desire, but go not near this tree, lest you become of the unjust.
Chapter 3, Verse 14
Fair-seeming to men is made the love of desires, of women and sons and hoarded treasures of gold and silver and well-bred horses and cattle and tilth. This is the provision of the life of this world. And Allah — with Him is the good goal (of life).
Chapter 3, Verse 145
And no soul can die but with Allah’s permission — the term is fixed. And whoever desires the reward of this world, We give him of it, and whoever desires the reward of the Hereafter, We give him of it. And We shall reward the grateful.
Chapter 4, Verse 27
And Allah desires to turn to you (mercifully). And those who follow (their) lusts desire that you should deviate (with) a great deviation.

The Truth of Religion
On Friday 28th June 2013, on his last full day in the UK, Hazrat Ameer, the Global Head of the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam, took to the podium to give the Friday Khutba.
He chose to read from Chapter 20, verses one to eight of The Holy Quran.
He cited these verse as an example of the truth of religion and the evidence of the existence of Allah.
Capitalism
In Surah Takasar, Allah tells us that human beings spend all their time seeking wealth and possessions until they are laid in the grave. It is only then that they will see that there is a reckoning and they have to explain how they spent their lives what they achieved but those questions about achievement will not be about possessions.
The questions will be about service to humanity and doing good. But as most humans only realise this as they are laid into the grave it will be too late.
Surah Fatiha – The Rub ul Alameen
In this part of the explanation the Promised Messiah discusses the meaning of the attribute of Allah known as Rub ul Alameen.
