Al-An‘ām

1 : 6

ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَجَعَلَ ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ وَٱلنُّورَۖ ثُمَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِرَبِّهِمۡ يَعۡدِلُونَ

1. All praise is [due] to Allāh, Who created the heavens and the earth and made darkness and light.Yet those who disbelieve make equals with their Lord ^[1].

[1]. This verse opens this chapter with a declaration of absolute praise and gratitude to Allāh — the One who brought the heavens and the earth into existence and ordered the alternation of darkness and light. It is a call to acknowledge Him as the sole Creator and Sustainer of all that exists.
The mention of “darknesses” in the plural and “light” in the singular is significant. It states that truth is one and clear, whereas falsehood is many and confusing. The light symbolizes divine guidance, revelation, and truth, while darknesses represent ignorance, disbelief, and deviation.
Despite these clear signs of divine power and wisdom, those who disbelieve still make equals with their Lord — worshiping others alongside Him or attributing divine qualities to created beings. This exposes the depth of human ingratitude and spiritual blindness: after recognizing His creation, they still deny His sole right to be worshiped. Thus, the verse establishes two core truths of Islamic belief:
1. Tawḥīd al-Rubūbiyyah — that Allāh alone is the Creator, Sustainer, and Controller of the universe.
2. Tawḥīd al-Ulūhiyyah — that only He deserves to be worshiped, with no partners or intermediaries.
