TafsirShaykh 'Abdur Rahman as-Sa'di, may Allah have mercy upon him, commenting on theproceeding surah:

""""SaySaySaySay (O Muhammad(O Muhammad(O Muhammad(O Muhammad ))))""""

A precise statement with conviction, acquainted with its meaning

/ "He is Allah, (the) One.""He is Allah, (the) One.""He is Allah, (the) One.""He is Allah, (the) One."

Meaning, the oneness is confined within (this statement of Tawheed ).

Thus, Allah is Al-Ahad who is separate and unique (from creation) in his perfectionwhich to Allah alone belongs the Most Beautiful Names, Lofty and complete Attributesand Actions that are Holy which have no parallel or equivalent.

(2) / "Allah"Allah"Allah"Allah----usususus----Samad (The Self Samad (The Self Samad (The Self Samad (The Self----Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, HeSufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, HeSufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, HeSufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, He

Meaning, the design with all (of creation) is to have needs. So the all the inhabitants inthe higher and lower regions (of existence) are in need of Allah to the point of (theexistence) is poor, asking Allah for all their necessities, asking Him concerning theirmost important matters.

That is because Allah is complete regarding His qualities/attributes, Al-'Aleem whoseknowledge is flawless, Al-Haleem whose patience and mild-temperedness is perfect, Ar- Raheem whose grace is whole, expanding over everything; like this are the rest of Hisqualities.

And from His perfection is that Allah

Due to His complete sufficiency...

Nor in His Names, or His Attributes, or in His Actions,Tabaraka wa Ta'la .

Thus this surah encompasses the Oneness of Allah's Names and Attributes.
