TAWHID (ONENESS OF ISLAM)

                      ONENESS OF GOD(TAWHID)

TAWHID

                   The Shahādah is to utter: Ash-hadu an laa ilaaha illallaah, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasooluhu (I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allāh alone – and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and messenger) 

                 One should accept this and become a MUSLIM.

ALLAH IS UNIQUE

                    (He is) the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever lies between them. So, worship Him and persevere in His worship. Do you know any one worthy of His name?”

                                                               

                                                   QURAN 19:65

               This verse proves that ALLAH is unique and ALLAH is not like his creation.Islam makes a clear distinction between the imperfection of creation and the perfection of Allah. He is far above any imperfections that His creation has described Him with.

               

                   So do not strike any similitudes to Allah. Allah knows whereas you do not know.

                                                                               

                                                     QURAN 16:74

                You should not compare Allah with others nor consider Him to be unapproachable like worldly kings and rulers, to whom none can have access without the mediation and intercession of their courtiers and servants.

ALLAH ALONE IS WORTH OF WORSHIP

                      I bear witness that there is no deity but God, I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God.

                                  

                 None have the right to be invoked, supplicated, sworn upon or prayed to but God alone. Nothing else is worthy of worship: not statues, crosses, tombs, the sun, the moon, stars, temples, animals, Prophets, Messengers, saints, priests or religious scholars. All of these things are created and limited, hence imperfect - they are not worthy of worship in Islam, whereas Allah is perfect. 

ALL PROPHETS ARE CALLED TO THE ONENESS OF GOD

                  We raised a Messenger in every community (to tell them): "Serve Allah and shun the Evil One."³² Thereafter Allah guided some of them while others were overtaken by error.³³ Go about the earth, then, and observe what was the end of those who rejected the Messengers,³⁴ calling them liars. 

                                                       QURAN 16:36  

                           Noah (peace be upon him) said

 “O my people! Worship Allah! You have no other gods besides Him.” 

                                                         QURAN7:59,

                           Abraham (peace be upon him) said 

“Do you worship besides Allah, things that can neither be of any good to you nor do you harm?” 

                                                        QURAN 21:66

                          Moses (peace be upon him) said 

 “What! Shall I seek for you a god other than Allah while He has made you excel (all) created things?”

                                                        QURAN 7:140

                          Jesus (peace be upon him) said  

“For Allah, He is my Lord and your Lord: so worship Him: this is the Straight Way.”

                                                        QURAN 43:64

                                                        

                        Muhammad (peace be upon him) was commanded to say

“I am only a man like you.It has been revealed to me that your God is One God. So whoever expects to meet his Lord then let him do good deeds and associate none as a partner in the worship of his Lord.”

                                                      QURAN 18:110 

 HE IS OUR LORD

                  Indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is the straight path.

                                                        QURAN 3:51
