Transliteration:( Qulil laaha a'budu mukhlisal lahoo deenee )
"Please declare: 'I worship Allah exclusively, being sincere to Him in my religion.'"
This verse emphasizes the core foundation of Tawheed—that worship is due to Allah alone, and it must be done with complete sincerity and without associating any partners.
The Holy Prophet ﷺ is commanded to declare that his worship is purely for Allah, not influenced by public opinion, societal pressures, or personal desires.
Ikhlas (sincerity) here means the worship is done only for Allah’s pleasure, free of any intention to gain fame, show off, or please others.
It is a firm refutation of polytheism, affirming that only when worship is free of all other attachments does it become accepted and meaningful in the sight of Allah.
