Abstract
Surah Ikhlas, (Oneness): Chapter 112, Number of

Verses: 4. The name of this chapter “al-Ikhlas” means
the purification (in God worshipping). Another name
of that is “Tawhid” which means Oneness and Unity
(of God). “In the Name ofAllah” Christian Trinitarian

formula is “In the name of the Father, the Son and the
Holy Spirit”. So the phrase “In the name” is the exact
equivalent for “Bism-i” in Arabic. The word “Allah”
mainly used by Muslims to refer to God in Islam, and
it’s the most complete and comprehensive name among
the God's many names. This is because each of Allah's
names, which are found in the Holy Qur'an, truly
reflects one particular aspect of Allah's Attributes. In
other words, the only name that refers to all of His
attributes is “Allah”.
