The definition of Tawheed can’t get any simpler than this. Well established in this video. Thank you!

[@hayyanmintgreen8561]

Tawheed is a verb to make something into waheed(one) in religious context it means to single out Allah in His worship and His Names & attributes. Because in pre-Islamic Arab society they already believed in the Unseen Creator & Ruler of the Universe (Allah) but they worshipped lesser gods and mythological spirits as their intercessors to Allah, the Most High. The Arabs before islam knew that their fathers Abraham and ishmael (PBUT) left a religion and that is to worship One God (Allah). Prophet Muhammad was sent primarily to single out Allah alone in His worship… That worship is solely a right of God and no one else.

[@conjugatemethod]

This is literally a compound definition of tawhid the exact opposite of a simple definition.

Islam believes in ‘Tawheed’ which is not merely monotheism i.e. belief in one God, but much more. Tawheed literally means ‘unification’ i.e. ‘asserting oneness’ and is derived from the Arabic verb ‘Wahhada’ which means to unite, unify or consolidate. Tawheed can be divided into three categories. 1. Tawheed ar-Ruboobeeyah 2. Tawheed al-Asmaa-was-Sifaat 3. Tawheed al-Ibaadah. 1. Tawheed ar-Ruboobeeyah (maintaining the unity of Lordship) The first category is ‘Tawheed ar-Ruboobeeyah’. ‘Ruboobeeyah’ is derived from the root verb “Rabb” meaning Lord, Sustainer and Cherisher. Therefore ‘Tawheed-ar-Ruboobeeyah’ means maintaining the unity of Lordship. This category is based on the fundamental concept that Allah (swt) alone caused all things to exist when there was nothing. He created or originated all that exists out of nothing. He alone is the sole Creator, Cherisher, and Sustainer of the complete universe and all between it, without any need from it or for it. 2. Tawheed al-Asmaa was-Sifaat (maintaining the unity of Allah’s name and attributes): The second category is ‘Tawheed al Asmaa was Sifaat’ which means maintaining the unity of Allah’s name and attributes. This category is divided into five aspects: (2.1) Allah should be referred to as described by Him and His Prophet Allah must be referred to according to the manner in which He and His prophet have described Him without explaining His names and attributes by giving them meanings other than their obvious meanings. (2.2) Allah must be referred to as He has referred to Himself Allah must be referred to without giving Him any new names or attributes. For example Allah may not be given the name Al-Ghaadib (the Angry One), despite the fact that He has said that He gets angry, because neither Allah nor His messenger have used this name. (2.3) Allah is referred to without giving Him the attributes of His creation In a reference to God, we should strictly abstain from giving Him the attributes of those whom He has created. For instance in the Bible, God is portrayed as repenting for His bad thoughts in the same way as humans do when they realize their errors. This is completely against the principle of Tawheed. God does not commit any mistakes or errors and therefore never needs to repent. The key principle when dealing with Allah’s attributes is given in the Qur’an in Surah Ash Shur “There is nothing Whatever like unto Him, And He is the One That hears and sees (all things).” [Al-Qur’an 42:11] Hearing and seeing are human faculties. However, when attributed to the Divine Being they are without comparison, in their perfection, unlike when associated with humans who require ears, eyes, etc. and who are limited in their sight and hearing in terms of space, time, capacity, etc. (2.4) God’s creation should not be given any of His attributes To refer to a human with the attribute of God is also against the principle of Tawheed. For example, referring to a person as one who has no beginning or end (eternal). (2.5) Allah’s name cannot be given to His creatures Some Divine names in the indefinite form, like ‘Raoof’ or ‘Raheem’ are permissible names for men as Allah has used them for Prophets; but ‘Ar-Raoof’ (the Most Pious) and Ar-Raheem (the most Merciful) can only be used if prefixed by ‘Abd’ meaning ‘slave of’ or ‘servant of’ i.e. ’Abdur-Raoof’ or ‘Abdur-Raheem’. Similarly ‘Abdur-Rasool’ (slave of the Messenger) or ‘Abdun-Nabee’ (slave of the Prophet) are forbidden. 3. Tawheed al-Ibaadah (maintaining the unity of worship): (3.1) Definition and meaning of ‘Ibadaah’: ‘Tawheed al-Ibaadah’ means maintaining the unity of worship or ‘Ibaadah’. Ibaadah is derived from Arabic word ‘Abd’ meaning slave or servant. Thus Ibaadah means servitude and worship. (3.2) All three categories to be followed simultaneously. Only believing in the first two categories of Tawheed without implementing Tawheed-al-Ibaadah is useless. The Qur’an gives the examples of ‘Mushrikeens’ (idolaters) of the Prophet’s time who confirmed the first two aspects of Tawheed. It is mentioned in the Qur’an: “Say: ‘Who is it that Sustains you (in life) From the sky and from the earth? Or who is it that Has power over hearing And sight? And who Is it that brings out The living from the dead And the dead from the living? And who is it that Rules and regulates all affairs?’ They will soon say, ‘Allah’. Say, ‘Will you not then Show piety (to Him)?’ “ [Al-Qur’an 10:31] A similar example is repeated in Surah Zukhruf of the Glorious Qur’an: “If thou ask them, Who Created them, they will Certainly say, ‘Allah’: how Then are they deluded Away (from the Truth)?” [Al-Qur’an 43:87] The pagan Meccans knew that Allah (swt) was their Creator, Sustainer, Lord and Master. Yet they were not Muslims because they also worshipped other gods besides Allah. Allah (swt) categorised them as ‘Kuffaar’ (disbelievers) and ‘Mushrikeen’ (idol worshippers and those who associate partners with God). “And most of them Believe not in Allah Without associating (others As partners) with Him!” [Al-Qur’an 12:106] Thus ‘Tawheed al-Ibaadah’ i.e. maintaining the unity of worship is the most important aspect of Tawheed. Allah (swt) alone deserves worship and He alone can grant benefit to man for his worship.

That is because He is the creator and He is the religion forever .

[@NasirAhmedApu]

@@oliveoil4259 thank you for your response . It is “ His. “. Here are the verses : “ To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and earth ; His is the religion forever “ - The Bee : 54. Meaning worship is due to Him alone . We also find these verses : “ Do they seek other than the religion of Allah . “ 3: 83 . Meaning He is the religion . And in another verse we find the same : “ The true religion with Allah is Islam . “ 3: 17 . We also find His name is Al Mu’min . Means He is the infuser of faith . “ whomsoever Allah desires to guide , He expands his breast in Islam. “ - Cattle : 125 Meaning to be guided needs His guidance. And that is Islam . Among His many beautiful names He is Al Mubdi - The Originator. There is a verse on this In The Quran: “ he followed the religion - Allah’s original ; upon which He originated the mankind . “ Finally , true religion is for Allah , with Allah , and from Allah.

Concept of God in Islam one God, is the most important and foundational concept in Islam. Muslims believe in one God who created the universe and has power over everything within it. He is unique and exalted above everything He creates, and His greatness cannot be compared to His creation. Furthermore, He is the only one deserving of any worship and the ultimate purpose of all creation is to submit to Him. The Islamic understanding of God is distinct from all other religions and beliefs in various respects since it is based on a pure and clear understanding of monotheism. This essentially captures the concept of God in Islam, which will be further elaborated in this pamphlet. Muslims often refer to God as Allah. This is a universal name for God and does not refer to an exclusively ‘Islamic’ God. Interestingly, this name is related to the Aramaic and Hebrew names for God, Allaha and Elohim. Therefore, Allah is simply the Arabic name for God which affirms that He is One singular God with no partners or equals. The name Allah cannot be pluralized or limited to a specific gender, which establishes that God is One and that He is unique from everything He creates. Muslims continue to use this original Arabic name for God (Allah) since it perfectly expresses His unique qualities. God is the Creator and the Sustainer of the universe who created everything for a reason. Muslims believe that He created humankind with a simple purpose - to worship Him. He sent messengers to guide people in fulfilling this purpose. Some of these messengers include Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, peace be upon all of them. They all taught a consistent message about God by affirming His greatness as the Creator and guiding people to worship Him alone. This basic concept has always resonated with people’s natural understanding of God. When the final prophet, Muhammad, peace be upon him (pbuh), was asked about God, the answer came directly from God in the holy book of Muslims, the Quran (also spelled ‘Koran’): “Say, ‘He is God the One, God the eternal. He begot no one nor was He begotten. No one is comparable to Him.’” [112:1-4] This is a clear statement by God describing Himself to humanity without any room for confusion. God is One and is exalted above everything He creates and He is capable over all things. Fully accepting the oneness of God is to accept that He is distinct from everything else. It would not suit God’s majesty and glory to associate the limited attributes of His creation to Him because He is not restricted in any way, while His creation is. He is the First with no beginning and the Last with no end. Everything in the universe was created by His will. He is not confined by space or time and He is the only One who is in control and provides for His creation. “He is God: there is no god other than Him. It is He who knows what is hidden as well as what is in the open, He is the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy. He is God: there is no god other than Him, the Controller, the Holy One, Source of Peace, Granter of Security, Guardian over all, the Almighty, the Compeller, the Truly Great; God is far above anything they consider to be His partner. He is God: the Creator, the Originator, the Shaper. The best names belong to Him. Everything in the heavens and earth glorifies Him: He is the Almighty, the Wise.” [Quran, 59:22-24] Why did God create people whom He already knew would reject Him and go to hell? Shouldn’t God who is All Loving instead not create them so that they won’t go through punishment? These are some common questions connected to this topic. Answered by Nouman Ali Khan Pure Monotheism “God: there is no god but Him, the Ever Living, the Ever Watchful. Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. All that is in the heavens and in the earth belongs to Him. Who is there that can intercede with Him except by His leave? He knows what is before them and what is behind them, but they do not comprehend any of His knowledge except what He wills. His throne extends over the heavens and the earth; it does not weary Him to preserve them both. He is the Most High, the Tremendous.” [Quran, 2:255] The primary pillar of Islamic belief clearly states that there is nothing worthy of worship except God. Associating partners with God or attributing qualities of lesser beings to Him is considered to be the greatest sin in Islam. In the past, this often took the form of idol worship or praying to multiple lesser gods. Although this is less common now, the current era has replaced many of the physical ‘idols’ of the past with other contemporary ‘gods.’ Many people today allow passions like entertainment, drugs, relationships or material objects to become the center of their lives. They become so consumed with these things that they submit to whatever will allow them to fulfill their desires. For example, if a drug addict allows their addiction to control their actions, beliefs, feelings, and behaviors, causing them to risk their personal safety and the safety of others, that drug has essentially become their god. Likewise, if another person puts a loved one before God by obeying that person even if that causes them to transgress against God’s commands, their loved one has taken precedence over God. Islam teaches that people should completely submit only to God as He is the only One worthy of their worship. He is the Creator and Sustainer of the universe and everything in it belongs to Him. The Quran points out the faulty thinking of those who worship other than God: “‘How can you worship things you carve with your own hands, when it is God who has created you and all your handiwork?’” [37:95-96] www.whyislam.org/brochures/conceptofgod/

What a great show! Thanks. A clear view of Islam put out by Shaykh Hasan Somali under 60 minutes before his prayers. But he acknowledged an element of old testament viz Deut 6:4. Sadly he didn't refer to Exodus 20:3 which also helps to keep in focus the one God principle. Christianity tells a different story of salvation via the new testament where Jesus took the lead. All that's too complex to say the least. Paul was right start with the Nicene Creed which is the clear statement of Christianity. And it was well established before the birth of Prophet Muhammad and Islam in the 7th century.

As salam alaykoum, I have two remarks : 1/ If the word "al tawhid" is not present in the Quran, Allah clearly forbid his antonym, which is "al shirk". An antonym is the opposite of a word, like death is the antonym of life. So, for example, if I have to announce to somebody that someone is dead, I can say : "John is dead" or I can negate his antonym by saying : "John is not alive". It is the same thing we find in the Quran. Allah said : "And [mention, O Muhammad], when Luqman said to his son while he was instructing him, "O my son, do not associate [anything] with Allah. Indeed, association (al shirk) [with him] is great injustice.". Allah also said : "They have certainly disbelieved who say, "Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary" while the Messiah has said, "O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Indeed, he who associates ("yushrik" in arabic, verbal form of the word "al shirk") others with Allah - Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire. And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers." 2/ About Intercession, there is a clear narration in Sahih al Bukhary which says that after prophet passed away, the compagnons didn't ask to his dead body, rather they ask to a pious alive man to invoke Allah : Anas ibn Malik said : Whenever drought threatened them, `Umar bin Al-Khattab, used to ask Al-Abbas bin `Abdul Muttalib to invoke Allah for rain. He used to say, "O Allah! We used to ask our Prophet to invoke You for rain, and You would bless us with rain, and now we ask his uncle to invoke You for rain. O Allah ! Bless us with rain."(1) And so it would rain. Sahih al bukhary, hadith n°1010. Allahu a'lam. (Sorry for my broken english)

In summation: Tawhid came to us through the noble Prophet Muhammad saw and we can not reach Allah Almighty by bypassing the Holy Prophet saw.

[@aaliyah3037]

No it didn't, it's part of the fitrah to believe in Tawheed. What came through the prophet upon whom be peace is the revelation and legislation. We go directly to Allah, unlike the Christians and those who are now imitating them from among the muslims.

[@Dylan-ge6dn]

@@aaliyah3037 that's a difference of opinion. Ashari assert tawheed is taught through revelation while Maturidi assert tawheed is fitra and attainable without revelation. Both creeds are from ahle Sunnah wal jamaah

Paul, may I request that you look into the Muslim vs Muhammadan terms. I'm aware it comes from orientalist thinking background, they understood Muslim's in relevant to their mindset. In modern times, it is being pushed in India by the Hindu extremists organisations, such as RRS, among others across India. It is designed to dilute Muslim identity. Even Indian Muslim's are beginning to accept it, or do not take offence from it's usage. I find it a highly offensive term. I think your scholarly approach will bring out a beautiful discussion on the topic. Either your own research based video, or a discussion with a Islamic scholar, or ideally both will bring greater understanding on the topic, and greater reach. Thank you.

[@pearlperfume28262]

Topic on Tawheed is what every muslim need. The ummah can only be united strongly thru and upon tauhid and the correct methodology of the salaf. Sufi is a deviated sect unfortunately many western newly revert prone to sufism or shia. Shia or correctly refer to rafidah is out of islam. Shia is not islam but they claimed they are and their aqidah had corrupted so much and they do syirik to Allah by calling to Hussein or Hassan. Turkish muslim are more prone to sufism and mystic. I hope the newly revert can focus on the correct methodology or they will be at lost.

1.Tawheed is literally Singularization since every thing else is زوج pair as singularity is the obvious attribute of Allah, the sole Owner the creation. The First the Final The manifest The Secret. 2.Worship is simply worthify or respect. Hence supplication is the easiest action of showing respect.

[@waleedosman5658]

Worshiping Allah alone is from tawheed. Worshiping other than Allah is shirk and kufr

[@waleedosman5658]

And they worship besides Allah things that hurt them not, nor profit them, and they say: "These are our intercessors with Allah." Say: "Do you inform Allah of that which He knows not in the heavens and on the earth?" Glorified and Exalted be He above all that which they associate as partners with Him! Yunus 18

Part 01/06 While watching this video, we have noted some points, and will briefly discuss below: We agree with Shaykh Hasan Somali that in practice, Paulines do not stick to Touheed but these Paulines and Hindus are like pre-Quranic Arab Pagans (Mushrikeen) who used to do their own brand of Hajj and used to pray their own brand of Rituals, and they also used to believe in Allah Azza wa Jal but problem was: they used to have many other gods too. This is why Glorious Quran call them Mushriks. Who commits Shirk is called Mushrik, and in Quran, Shirk is even bigger sin than Kufar 4:48. *This is why: In Quran 5:72, Hell is guaranteed for those people who say that Jesus is god.*

الآيات التي تؤكد وتتحدث عن وحدانية الله في القرآن الكريم قال الله تعالى في كتابه العزيز “إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ” وهذه الآية إنما تؤكد انتفاء العبودية لغير الله سبحانه وتعالى، فلا يجب الاستعانة بمخلوق، لأن الاستعانة في كل الأمور إنما ترجع إلى الله تعالى. قال الله في كتابه العزيز “وَلِلَّـهِ غَيبُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ وَإِلَيهِ يُرجَعُ الأَمرُ كُلُّهُ فَاعبُدهُ وَتَوَكَّل عَلَيهِ وَما رَبُّكَ بِغافِلٍ عَمّا تَعمَلونَ” وهذه الآية تدل على تفرد الله ووحدانيته في معرفة الغيب، فلا يوجد بشر ولا أي مخلوق في الحياة كلها له القدرة على معرفة الغيب وهي صفة متفردة لله، وهي تقضي بوحدانية ألوهيته، كما أن التوكل على الله وحده هو شكل من أشكال الإيمان بوحدانية الله، فعلى من غير الله من الممكن أن نوكل إليه الأمر، ولهذا فوحدانية الله تقتضي التوكل عليه في كل الأمور. كذلك قال الله تعالى في كتابه العزيز “فَإِن تَوَلَّوا فَقُل حَسبِيَ اللَّـهُ لا إِلـهَ إِلّا هُوَ عَلَيهِ تَوَكَّلتُ وَهُوَ رَبُّ العَرشِ العَظيمِ”، فالله هو الكافي لعباده أجمعين، وهو الوحيد القادر لهم على النفع والضرر، وهي صفة لا تعود إلا لله وحده، لذا فإن التوكل على الله هو دعوة للتصديق بوحدانيته. قال الله تعالى في كتابه العزيز “رَبُّ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ وَما بَينَهُما فَاعبُدهُ وَاصطَبِر لِعِبادَتِهِ هَل تَعلَمُ لَهُ سَمِيًّا”، وهذه دعوة وأمر لعبادة الله وحده فهو رب السموات والأرض، واتباع الآية بالسؤال الإنكاري “هل تعلم له سميا” إنما هو تأكيد أنه لا يوجد نظير لله من الممكن أن يسمى بأسمائه، فلا يوجد نظير من الممكن تسميته بالقادر، أو العالم، أو الخالق. قال الله تعالى في كتابه العزيز “وَما تَوفيقي إِلّا بِاللَّـهِ عَلَيهِ تَوَكَّلتُ وَإِلَيهِ أُنيبُ”، فكما قلنا من قبل إن التوكل على الله وحده إنما هو دليل من دلائل توحيد العبد لربه، والتوكل هو عبادة خالصة لله تعالى. قال الله تعالى في كتابه العزيز “وَاعبُد رَبَّكَ حَتّى يَأتِيَكَ اليَقينُ” فهذه الآية دعوة إلى عبادة الله تعالى حتى الموت، وآية “حتى يأتيك” اليقين إنما هي دليل باستمرار العبادة لله تعالى وحده حتى الموت ، وهذه فقط بعضها وإلا فإن القرآن كلها تحتوي التوحد اذا امعنا النظر .. ماشاء الله تبارك الله ولا إله إلا الله سبحانك اني كنت من الظالمين .. ✍️

based on Tawheed Islam is claiming it can bring peace in world that means if people follow the will of Allah or laws of Allah sure it brings solution for all and bring peace

[@muhammadbenjuraij7734]

The prophet ص used the verb يُوَحِّد in the Hadith of Amr bin Abasah and tawheed is its root noun and he used the past tense in shaheed Muslim وحَّدَ and in many other Hadith. The reason why the salafies declare tawassul as shirk is because they say that calling upon the dead is not like calling upon the living and hence they consider it as dua supplication and hence an act of worship! They quote the Hadith الدعاء هو العبادة that dua is the essence of worship and so anyone who asks a saint or the prophet ص then they are doing dua to them because they have left this world. The core of Ahlus sunnah however say that the prophet ص is alive in his grave and so are the saints and therefore they can still perform miracles with the permission and will of Allah and that asking from them is not dua because they are alive as they are considered above the martyrs. The salafies try to equate this asking with salah and fasting and other acts of worship even though those who deem it permissible do not believe they are worshiping these people rather they are seeking a waseelah to Allah. The salafies view is a minor view and most of the imams of Ahlus sunnah and the Shia allow tawassul and their main proof is the Hadith of the blind man who was told to say “Ya Muhammad I turn with you to Allah that Allah may grant my need” this was told to the blind to do whenever he had a need meaning during and after the earthly life of the prophet ص. Hassan Somali doesn’t seem to understand the proofs on either side but one thing is clear and that is declaring a Muslim as a mushrik because he does tawassul is totally forbidden because the matter is disputed and the majority of imams hold it permissible! Hope this helps Paul. The Hadith of the blind man is saheeh and no Muslim would intentionally worship other than Allah rather when they make tawassul they are appealing to Allah and asking the saint or prophet to appeal their case with them. I personally do not delve into this subject when around others rather I just sit back and blend if I’m with salafies I blend and if with non salafies I blend and do not join in any disputes because no one can win this debate as theirs proof on both sides.
