As-Salaam alaykum,

Reciting Surat Ikhlas (chapter 112 of the Holy Qur'an) is compared to complete recitation of one-third of the entire Qur'an. Reciting it is a means of blessing for the reciter. Note that Allah Ta'ala sent the Qur'an in 3 parts:--

(1) A third is comprised of Legal Rulings.

(2) A third is comprised of Exhortations of Promises and Warnings.

(3) A third is comprised of Discussing Allah's Names and Attributes.. and Surat Ikhlas brings together within it those Names and Attributes.

The Surat mentions 2 Names of Allah which together indicate all the attributes of perfection. They are not mentioned in any other verse: "al-Ahad" and "al-Samad". These 2 names indicate the Oneness of the Sacred Being who possesses all the attributes of perfection.

Allah is Ahad-- His Singularity of Existence cannot be shared by another entity.

Allah is Samad-- His Dignity and Sovereignty reaches the extent where all other things in existence depend on for all their needs.
