At-Tawhîd (Islâmic Monotheism)
At-Tawhîd (Islâmic Monotheism) is to
consider and believe in one God, unification of Allâh is to believe in His
Oneness of Rububiah (Lordship) and His Holy Names and Qualities, and to believe
that He is the Owning Lord Who only deserves to be worshipped. Therefore, At-Tawhîd
(Islâmic Monotheism) is to perform Monotheism Allâh in all what is
specified for Him among all said and done adoration, and it is the basis of
Islâm, from which its ordinances, regulations, orders and prohibitions
originated.
The Surplus of At-Tawhîd (Islâmic Monotheism)
1. It is a reason for entering Paradise and get out of the Hell
fire.
Allâh I said, “لَقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ
مَرْيَمَ وَقَالَ الْمَسِيحُ يَابَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ رَبِّي
وَرَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ مَنْ يُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدْ حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ
الْجَنَّةَ وَمَأْوَاهُ النَّارُ وَمَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ أَنصَارٍ” - meaning
– “They did blaspheme who said: "Allâh is Christ the son of
Mary." But said Isa (Jesus): "O Children of Israel! Worship Allâh, my
Lord and your Lord." Whoever joins other gods with Allâh, Allâh will
forbid him the Paradise, and the Fire will be his abode. There will for the
wrongdoers be no one to help.”.
Muslim (a
Hadith Scholar) narrated that the Prophet r said, “من لقي
الله” - meaning – “He who meets with Allâh not adopting a partner
with Him in worship shall enter Paradise, and he who meets Him adopting a
partner with Him in worship shall enter Hell Fire.” And Utban narrated that
the Prophet r said, “فإن الله
حرم على النار” - meaning – “..for Allâh has immuned
Hell Fire from (reaching) who said, ‘Lâ ilâha illallâh’ desiring by that
only the Face of Allâh (His Satisfaction).”
2. It is a condition for the acceptance of deeds, and polytheism
causes them to be nullified.
Allâh I said, “وَلَقَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ وَإِلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ لَئِنْ
أَشْرَكْتَ لَيَحْبَطَنَّ عَمَلُكَ وَلَتَكُونَنَّ مِنْ الْخَاسِرِينَ” - meaning
– {But it has already been revealed to you, - as it was to those before
you - "If you were to join (gods with Allâh), truly fruitless will be your
work (in life), and you will surely be in the ranks of those who lose (all
spiritual good)}, and He said, “فَمَنْ كَانَ يَرْجُوا لِقَاءَ رَبِّهِ
فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلا صَالِحًا وَلا يُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِ أَحَدًا” - meaning –
“So, whoever expects to meet his Lord, let him work righteousness, and, in the
worship of his Lord, admit no one as partner.”.
Imam Abu
Abdi-llah At-Tastari (may Allâh be Merciful with him) said, “Faith is in
saying, deed, intention, and Sunnah; so if there was a saying without a deed,
then it is a Kufr (disbelief), or if it was a saying and a deed without an
intention, then it is hypocrisy, and if it was a saying, an intention, and a
deed without a Sunnah, then it is a Bid’a (novelty).”
3.
It expiates sins and erases
them, for Allâh says in the Qudsi Hadith (Sacred Tradition which was reported
by the Prophet as the Saying of Allâh), “يا ابن آدم” - meaning – “O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins
nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner
to Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as your sins.”
