Tawheed: Oneness of Allah
 Tawheed is the most impotant belief in Islam. It means that Allah is
one, Supreme and there is nothing like him. Allah says in Surah
Ikhlas,
 He is Allah, the one.
 Allah, the everlasting Sustainer of all,
 He has not given birth and was not born;
 And no one is comparable to him.
 Tawheed means Allah alone is the creator. He is the only power
behind the universe and the sole source of its guidance. He knows
everything and has power over everything. He is Eternal and is
beyond human knowledge and reasoning. This does not mean that
Allah is so far away that he cannot possibly now or care about what
he created. On the contrary, he is close to all of us. He listens to our
prayer when we call on to him. It is Allah who created us and so he
knows everything about us. In fact, he is nearer to us than our
jugular veins. Everything in the universe belongs to Allah.
 Allah knows everything. If a calamity strikes, it is for reason He
knows, even if we do not understand why it has happened.
Shirk
Shirk

 When someone likens anyone or anything to Allah, suggests in anyway that other people or
things share Allah’s creative power with him or have the knowledge or ability to guide or
to forgive- this then is the sin of shirk. If someone worships others besides Allah, he has
also committed the sin of shirk.
 A Prophet cannot be a god. In fact, no Prophet of Allah ever claimed he was a god. Isa
(A.S) was a Prophet. It is true that he worked miracles but he did so by the command of
Allah. Allah has no equal or partner.
 Allah is giver of the life. He keeps things alive and provides for their needs. He was not
created by anyone or anything. He has always been and wil always be. He is the first and
last.
 He creates what he likes, and He never becomes tired of creating.
He is the creator. There is no one and nothing that can be compared
with him.
 He was not born, and He has no father or mother. He is not in need
of children to live after Him or help him. He has no wife. He is One
and without a partner. Therefore, we should not worship any of the
following because it is shirk to do so:
1. Any created beings such as men, angels, animals or the dead in
their graves.
2. Any created objects such as trees, mountains, stones, rivers,
statues, idols or pictures.
3. Man-made gods and goddesses.
 Shirks means associating others with Allah in worship. It is the opposite of Tawheed. If
someone associates anyone or anything with his creator in worship, he becomes a
mushrik. Tawheed rejects all kinds of Shirk. A mushrik worries and relies on material
things. Shirk makes a person believe in superstitions.
 Tawheed is the key to Paradise
Allah has forbidden Paradise to those who commit the sin of shirk. Shirk is the worst
kind of injustice. Anyone who associates partners with Allah will never enter Paradise. The
people of Tawheed will be admitted in to Paradise because Tawheed is the key to it. The
gates of Paradise will not open for anyone without this key, or for anyone who has a key
that lacks teeth. The teeth of this key are the Shahadah,salah, zakah, sawm and hajj.
Anyone who acquires the right key in this life, the key of Tawheed along with its teeth, by
following Allah’s commands, will come on the Day of Judgment to the door of Paradise with the only
key that opens it. They will not be kept out, unless the burdens of their sins remain with them.
Paradise is the home of the pure. Hell is the home of impurities.
 Allah’s Power
Allah is one. He commands and forbids. He creates and provides. He causes death and gives
life. He decrees and delivers. He elevates and lowers. He changes night in to day. He alternates the
days of people and nations, replacing one with another.
What Allah wills comes in to being in the manner He wills it. His orders and his decrees are
fulfilled in the heavens, in the farther corners of the earth, beneath it, in the seas and every other
part of the universe. He originates what he wills. His knowledge encompasses all things. He keeps
account of everything. His mercy and wisdom enevlops all things. Allah’s power is limitless.
 His Hearing
Allah’s hearing encompasses all voices. Yet they do not mix with each other. Rather, he
hears everything very clearly.
 His sight
Allah’s sight envelops all visible things. He sees everything. The hidden for him is
visible and the secret for him is public. He knows all the secrets. He even knows what is
in a person’s mind and heart.
Allah is the greatest
 Allah forgives sin. He alleviates sufferings and hardships. He teaches the ignorant
and guides those who are astray. He directs the confused and helps the desperate.
He feeds the hungry and clothes the naked. He cures the sick and forgives sins.
He accepts the repentance of the sinners and rewards the righteous. He helps the
oppressed, humbles the arrogant and steadies those who stumble.
He covers our faults and gives us safety from fear. He gives generously and that does
not lessen in the least what he possesses. He is all-power; the whole earth will be in his
grip on the Day of judgment, and the heavens will be folded in his right hand.
No sin is too great for him to forgive. No need is too great for him to fulfil.
However, he never forgives the sin of Shirk.
He is the king without a partner.
He is unique without equal.
Everything perishes except his face. Everything kingdom fades except his kingdom. Everything
shade will be withdrawn except by his permission and mercy. When he is obeyed , he appreciates.
When he is disobeyed, and sought for forgiveness, he overlooks and forgives.
if all the trees on earth were pens and all the seas with seven others added to them were ink, and
those pens were to write in that ink, both the pens and ink would be exhausted, but the words of
Allah’s unlimited knowledge or those describing his attributes and his grandeur or praise of him
would not.
Allah has the most beautiful names and the perfect Attributes. We must believe in their great
underlying meanings and describe Allah the almighty in a manner that suits his majesty without
likening his Attributes to any of those of his creatures.
All acts of worship, such as invocation, trust , fear and sacrifice, should be directed to him
alone. We should invoke none but Allah, rely on none except Allah , seek no one’s help except
Allah’s help and seek no one’s refuge but Allah’s refuge.
