Islamiat Assignment 1

Tawheed is the most important Islamic belief and refers to the oneness of God. It implies that God is the sole Creator, Sustainer, and source of guidance for mankind. This fundamental Islamic concept rejects dividing life into religious and secular spheres and governs all aspects of human life. Tawheed recognizes that humans are weak and dependent on God for all benefits and protection from harm. It is the highest conception of God that has been taught by prophets throughout history. There are three categories of Tawheed: the oneness of God's lordship over all creation, the oneness of God's divinity as the sole object of worship, and the oneness of God's names and attributes.

Towheed

Tawheed is the most important Islamic belief. It implies that everything in


existence originates from the one and only Creator, who is also the Sustainer and
the sole Source of Guidance. This belief should govern all aspects of human life.
Recognition of this fundamental truth results in a unified view of existence which
rejects any divisions of life into religious and secular.

"Your Allah is One Allah; there is no Allah save Him, the Beneficent, the
Merciful". (Qur’an: 2:163)

Allah is sole source of Power and Authority, therefore entitled to worship and
obedience from mankind. There is no scope for any partnership with the Creator.
tawheed tells man that Allah is not born, nor is anyone born of Him. He has no son
or daughter. Human beings are His subjects. Linguistically Tawheed means: ”To
make something one, or to assert the oneness of something.”

Everything originates from ‘Him’ and eventually will return to ‘Him’, as stated in
the Qur’an:

“We originated the first creation, so We shall bring it back (to its former state)
again.” (21:104)

Although we, the people of the scientific age, have been blinded to some
fundamental human limitations by great advances in technology, man is not, in
essence, an omnipotent being. Neither is he self-sufficient and self-existing nor are
his powers without limitations. He is, in fact, weak, frail, needy and destitute.

Say: "I do not control any benefit or harm for my own soul except as Allah please".
(Qur’an: 7:188).

Say: "Then who can control anything for you from Allah if He intends to do you
harm or if He intends to do you good". (Qur’an: 48:11).

Tawhid is the highest conception of deity, the knowledge of which God has sent to
mankind in all ages through His Prophets.
He cannot create even a leaf or a gnat, of an insect, nor can he form a molecule of
water without much expenditure, a fact which modern man does not wish to
confess under the spell of modern technology. All natural events from the rising
and setting of the sun to the movements of atoms, which he seems satisfied to
ascribe to natural laws although they nominally exist, take place without his
intervention.

Say: "Who gives you the sustenance from the heavens and the earth? Say: Allah".
(Qur’an: 34:24).

"Or who is it that will give you sustenance if He should withhold His sustenance?"
(Qur’an: 67:21)

Say: "What! Shall I seek a Lord other than Allah? And He is the Lord of all
things". (Qur’an: 6:164).

A firm and definite belief that Almighty God alone is the Creator, the Master and
Owner, and the Command is for none but Him.The one who does not call to
Tawheed and the correction of the Aqeedah, is like the one ...”who seeks to cure a
body whose head has been cut off, since the place of the Aqeedah in the religion is
like the head with regards to the body” [Sheikh Rabee' ibn haadee al-madkhalee, in
al-manhaj al-anbiyaa fee Dawaah ill-Allah]. Jundub Ibn Abdullaah al-Bajaly said,
”We learned Eemaan (faith) and then we learned the Quran and it increased our
Eemaan”.

There are three categories of towhid.


· Tawhid al-Rububiyyah (Oneness of Divine Lordship),

· Tawhid al-Uluhiyyah (Oneness of Divinity)

· Tawhid al-Asma wa'l-Sifat (Oneness of the Divine Names and Attributes)
