    Tawhid

    To know and understand the


    importance of Tawhid in Islam.
    • Literally Tawheed means to make something one or to
    call it one. In English when something is made one it is
    deemed to be unified. However, in Islamic terminology
    Tawheed means to believe that Allah is the one and only
    God. It is sometimes referred to as monotheism,
    however in the purest sense in that no other entity can
    in any way have the attributes or be equivalent or even
    in competition with Allah.

    • All acts of worship that a person does should be to Allah


    or for Allah Alone. For example, prayer should only be to
    Allah, religious animal sacrifice should only be done in
    Allah’s name, and fighting to establish and protect
    religion (Jihad). Tawheed is therefore the central
    concept upon which all of Islam rests.
    Importance and Benefits of Tawheed:

    • 1. Tawheed is the essence of Islam and the mainspring of its strength. All other laws,
    beliefs and commands of Islam stand firm on this foundation. Take it away, and there is
    nothing left of Islam.

    • 2. Tawheed is the call of all the prophets to their people. Allah (SWT) says, “And verily
    We have sent among every nation a Messenger proclaiming Worship Allah Alone and
    avoid all false deities.” (Qur’an 16:36)

    • 3. Tawheed is the only reason for the world’s creation. “And I created not the Jinns and
    Men except that they should worship Me.” (Qur’an 51:56). By declaring sincere belief in
    Tawheed, a disbeliever will become a Muslim. Conversely, a Muslim will become a
    disbeliever (kaafir) if he rejects any aspect of it.

    • 4. By Tawheed we achieve salvation from Eternal punishment in the Hereafter, right


    guidance in this world, and forgiveness for sins. Allah states in the Qur’an: “Verily Allah
    does not forgive associating partners with Him (shirk) however, He forgives all other sins
    as He pleases.” (Qur’an 4:48). The Prophet Muhammad (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa salam
    {SAWS}) said: ‘The worshipper’s right on Allah is that He will not punish those who
    worship none besides Him.’ [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

    • 5. Whoever fulfils Tawheed will be admitted to the Garden (Al-Jannah) in the Hereafter.
    The Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) has stated: ‘Verily Allah has promised that whosoever
    does not commit shirk shall enter Al-Jannah (the Garden in the Heaven).’ [Al-Bukhari]
    6. It is the reason for solving people’s sadness because true happiness
    will be achieved if persons realise Tawheed within their heart. They
    will also never feel psychologically enslaved even if physically captive.

    • 7. It is the only reason for Allah’s pleasure and rewards. Allah says: “If
    you reject faith then know that Allah is in no need of you and He does
    not accept disbelief from His slaves.” (Qur’an 39:7). Disbelief is
    nothing but a manifestation of shirk which is the opposite of
    Tawheed.

    • 8. The acceptance of all of one’s religious deeds is based upon


    Tawheed. Islam is nothing if not an embodiment of the belief in
    Tawheed.

    • 9. Tawheed is a belief a conviction in Allah. A Muslim who excepts


    Allah believe s the will eternally be granted heaven. The Prophet
    Muhammad (SAWS) stated in an authentic report: ‘Whoever dies and
    has so much as a mustard seed of faith in his heart shall enter Al-Jannah.’
    Sources of Islamic Aqeedah (Belief):
    • The Qur’an is the Revelation which Allah sent down to His Messenger
    Muhammad (SAWS) and has been passed forth to us both in form and in
    content in an uninterrupted transmission. Meaning, it can be verified as coming
    from the lips of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWS). It is the last scripture to be
    revealed to mankind. As the actual word of Allah in its original form in the
    Arabic language it is the first and foremost source of Islamic ‘Aqeedah. Allah
    says: “And we did not send any Messenger before you but we inspired him
    (saying) none has the right to be worshipped but I (Allah) so worship Me.”
    (Qur’an 21:25)

    • Hadith in Arabic has the general meaning of speech whether pertaining to


    religion or not. Then it took a special sense (Prophetic traditions), comprising all
    the Prophet Muhammad’s (SAWS) speech, deeds, or tacit decisions.
    • In this regard, the term Hadith and Sunnah are synonymous. The Prophet
    Muhammad (SAWS), being the fount from which both the Qur’an and the
    Sunnah spring, was the best to explain what each and every person should
    believe about Allah.

    • The Prophet (SAWS) stated about himself: ‘I am the most knowledgeable of


    Allah amongst you and the most fearful of him.’
