Acknowledge the Oneness of Allah

Hawzah News Agency- Muhammad ibn abu Abdallah in a 'marfu‘ manner has narrated from ’Abd al-‘Aziz ibn al-Muhtadi who said:

سَأَلْتُ الرِّضَا (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَنِ التَّوْحِيد

I asked Imam Reza(pbuh) about the Oneness of Allah(Tawhid).

- فَقَالَ كُلُّ مَنْ قَرَأَ قُلْ هُوَ الله أَحَدٌ وَآمَنَ بِهَا فَقَدْ عَرَفَ التَّوْحِيدَ

- He replied: Whoever recites Surah al-Ikhlas and also believes in it, he has really acknowledged the Oneness of Allah.

قُلْتُ كَيْفَ يَقْرَأُهَا

I asked: How should I recite it?

- قَالَ كَمَا يَقْرَأُهَا النَّاسُ وَزَادَ فِيهِ كَذَلِكَ الله رَبِّي كَذَلِكَ الله رَبِّي.

- Imam replied: Recite it as the people do.And then the Imam added "Such is Allah, my Lord. Such is Allah, my Lord".(1)

(1)Commentary: It is recommended to say "کذلک الله ربی" (Such is Allah, my Lord) after Surah al-Ikhlas.
