Which Surah of the Quran is equivalent to one-third of the Quran in terms of meaning?
A
Surah Al-Fatiha
B
Surah Al-Baqarah
C
Surah Al-Ikhlas
D
Surah Al-Kawthar
Correct Answer: Option C — Surah Al-Ikhlas
Explanation:
Surah Al-Ikhlas (Surah 112) is described in a Hadith as being equivalent to one-third of the Quran in meaning. This is because it perfectly encapsulates the doctrine of Tawheed (oneness of Allah) which is a fundamental pillar of the Quran's message. It consists of only four short verses but carries immense theological weight.
