Ramadan Day 30: Verses from the Quran (last diary in series)

Wed Nov 02, 2005 at 07:58:19 PM PDT

Each day during Ramadan, I have been presenting a verse from the Quran with a few thoughts or comments. An introduction to this series is here. Inshallah (God willing), I hope that this may be of benefit to any who are interested in learning a bit more about Islam and Muslim belief.

As it turns out, Ramadan had 29 days this year (the new crescent moon was sighted in North America this evening) so I'm posting the last day's passage today. I hope nobody minds the two diaries in one day!

Quran 112:1, 112:2, 112:3, 112:4:

Say: He is God, One, God the Eternal. He does not beget and was not begotten. And there is nothing that is like Him
This simple and succint statement sums up monotheism in the Islamic belief. It is the whole of the 112th surah (chapter) and was described by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as "one third of the Quran".

Eid mubarak! Have a blessed festival of Eid al-Fitr to end Ramadan!
