    Surah al Ikhlas show that different people on different occasions had questioned the Holy

    Prophet (pbuh) about the essence and nature of the God to Whose service and worship he
    invited the people, and on every occasion he recited by Allah's command this very Surah in
    response. First of all the pagans of Quraish asked him this question in Makkah, and in reply this
    Surah was sent down. Then, at Madinah, sometimes the Christians, and sometimes the other
    people of Arabia, asked him questions of this nature, and every time Allah inspired him to recite
    this very Surah in answer to them. In each of these traditions, it has been said that this Surah
    was revealed on this or that occasion. From this one should not form the impression that all
    these traditions are mutually contradictory. The fact is that whenever there existed with the Holy
    Prophet a verse or a Surah previously revealed in respect of a particular question or matter, and
    later the same question was presented before him, Allah inspired him to recite the same verse
    or Surah to the people as it contained the answer to their question. The reporters of Hadith
    describe the same thing, saying: When such and such a question or matter was presented
    before the Holy Prophet, such and such a verse or Surah was revealed. This has also been
    described as repetition of revelation, i. e. the revelation of a verse or Surah several times.

    Thus, the fact is that this Surah is Makki, rather in view of its subject matter a Surah revealed in
    the earliest period at Makkah, when detailed verses of the Quran dealing with the essence and
    attributes of Allah Almighty had not yet been revealed, and the people hearing, the Holy
    Prophet's invitation to Allah, wanted to know what was his Lord like to whose worship and
    service he was calling them. Another proof of this Surah's being one of the earliest Surahs to be
    revealed is that when in Makkah Umayyah bin Khalaf, the master of Hadrat Bilal, made him lie
    down on burning sand and placed a heavy stone on his chest, Bilal used to cry "Ahad, Ahad!"
    This word was derived from this very Surah.
