Learning Notes

Micro Tafsir

An *Ilāh* is that which the heart turns to with complete love, awe, reliance, and submission. The foundational declaration of Islam, *Lā ilāha illā Allāh*, negates all false entities claiming heart-devotion and restricts true divinity solely to Allah.

Memory Hook

Associate *Ilāh* with *Lā ilāha illā Allāh* ('There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah').
