I've got 5 categories.
Number 1,
the description of Allah.
You can only give the way he or
his prophet has described him. You cannot give
your own description of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Number 2,
you cannot give names to Allah except what
Allah and his prophet have given him.
You cannot say Allah is Al Khadib. The
Quran says Allah gets angry, but you cannot
say the angry one because the prophet and
Allah never gave that name to him.
You cannot give the attributes
of the creation
of Allah to Allah.
You cannot say he repented like the Bible
says, God repented.
That's the quality of his creation.
Allah cannot repent.
You cannot give the qualities of Allah
to his creation.
You cannot say I know a person who
is absolutely eternal. No beginning, no end. That
is the quality of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And you cannot give the name of Allah
to any of his creation. You cannot call
anyone a Rahim.
If you have to call, you have to
add Abdi before it. Abdul Rahim,
Abdullah.
In brief, this is Toid al Mustafa.
And Toid al Ibada means that besides
believing in Allah, you only worship him and
no one is.
If you believe in the first two categories
of tawhid,
at the same time you worship somebody else,
you're breaking the third rule of.
