Note 354 — TALE OF KAMAR AL-ZAMAN, (continued 3)

Richard Francis Burton translation

The Chapter "Al-Ikhlás" i.e. clearing (oneself from any faith but that of Unity) is No. cxii. and runs thus:—

Say, He is the One God!

The sempiternal God,

He begetteth not, nor is He begot,

And unto Him the like is not.

It is held to be equal in value to one-third of the Koran, and is daily used in prayer. Mr. Rodwell makes it the tenth.
