Like Reading One-third of the Koran
Based on the hadith of Imam Bukhori, it is reported that the letter Al Ikhlas is equivalent to one third of the Koran. The Prophet SAW said:
“By God, my soul is in the grasp of His power, in fact the letter of Al-Ikhlas is truly equivalent to a third of the Koran”.
However, there are those who think ‘NO’ because there is a rule that says that: “Something of the same value, cannot necessarily replace.”

That is why the letter Al Ikhlas is the same as one third of the Koran, but it cannot replace the Koran.
One proof is that if someone repeats this letter three times in prayer, it is impossible to replace the Al Fatihah letter, because reading the Al Fatihah letter is harmonious prayer.
Surah Al Ikhlas is insufficient or cannot replace a third of the Koran, but it is only worth one third of it.
Always Get Love from Allah SWT
Ibn Daqiq Al Ied explained the words of the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam, namely: “Tell him that Allah loves him”.
He said, “The point is that the cause of Allah’s love for that person is because of the love of that person for this Al Ikhlas letter. Perhaps we can tell from the words of this person, because he likes the nature of his Rabb, this shows the truth of his itiqod (belief in his Rabb).
Reading the Al-Ikhlas Letter Building a Home in Heaven
A hadith says: “Whoever reads Surah al Ikhlas until it is finished 10 times, Allah will build him a house in heaven.” [HR. Ahmad].
Imam Turmuzi also said that Mubarak ibn Fudalah had narrated from Sabit, from Anas, that once a man said:
“O Messenger of Allah, I really like the Qul Huwallahu Ahad (letter) Al Ikhlas.” Then Rasulullah Saw. said: Your liking for him can enter you into heaven.
