Tahid

00:00:04 --> 00:00:07

can be divided into 3 categories, though this

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09

is not my topic. The other speakers will

00:00:09 --> 00:00:10

speak, but I have to speak about it

00:00:11 --> 00:00:13

in brief so that you understand the implications

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

of tawhid in human life.

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

Tawhid is divided into 3 categories.

00:00:21 --> 00:00:23

Tawhid of Mossafad, and tawhid alibada.

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25

I'll just speak 1 or 2 lines of

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

each because that's not my topic.

00:00:29 --> 00:00:30

Is derived from the Arabic word

00:00:31 --> 00:00:32

means Allah

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35

is our creator, sustainer,

00:00:36 --> 00:00:36

and cherisher.

00:00:37 --> 00:00:40

Everything in the world depends on him, and

00:00:40 --> 00:00:41

he's independent

00:00:41 --> 00:00:42

of everything and anything.

00:00:46 --> 00:00:47

Has got 5 categories.

00:00:48 --> 00:00:48

Number 1,

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

the description of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

You can only give the way he or

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

his prophet has described him. You cannot give

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58

your own description of Allah Subhanahu

00:00:59 --> 00:01:00

Number

00:01:00 --> 00:01:04

2, you cannot give names to Allah except

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

what Allah and his prophet have given him.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09

You cannot say Allah is Al Hadib. The

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12

Quran says Allah gets angry, but you cannot

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

say the angry one because the prophet and

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

Allah never gave that name to him.

00:01:17 --> 00:01:18

You cannot give the attributes

00:01:19 --> 00:01:20

of the creation

00:01:21 --> 00:01:22

of Allah to Allah.

00:01:23 --> 00:01:25

You cannot say he repented like the Bible

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27

says God repented.

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29

That's the quality of his creation.

00:01:29 --> 00:01:30

Allah cannot repent.

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33

You cannot give the qualities of Allah

00:01:33 --> 00:01:34

to his creation.

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

You cannot say I know a person who

00:01:37 --> 00:01:38

is absolutely eternal.

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40

No beginning, no end. That is the quality

00:01:40 --> 00:01:42

of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And you cannot

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44

give the name of Allah to any of

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46

his creation. You cannot call anyone a Rahim.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49

If you have to call, you have to

00:01:49 --> 00:01:49

add Abdi

00:01:50 --> 00:01:51

before it. Abdul Rahim,

00:01:52 --> 00:01:52

Abdullah.

00:01:54 --> 00:01:56

In brief, this is toil al Mustafa.

00:01:56 --> 00:01:57

And

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59

means that besides

00:01:59 --> 00:02:02

believing in Allah, you only worship him and

00:02:02 --> 00:02:03

no one is.

00:02:04 --> 00:02:06

If you believe in the first two categories

00:02:06 --> 00:02:06

of tawhid,

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11

at the same time you worship somebody else,

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13

you're breaking the 3rd rule of.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

He only loves worship and no one else.

00:02:17 --> 00:02:19

And the Quran gives this example,

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21

and so you know step number 10 verse

00:02:21 --> 00:02:24

number 31, that when you ask the pagans,

00:02:25 --> 00:02:26

who is the one

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

who controls everything from the heaven and the

00:02:29 --> 00:02:32

earth? Who is the one that controls the

00:02:32 --> 00:02:33

hearing and the sight? Who is the one

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35

who gives life to the dead and dead

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37

to the life? Who is the one who

00:02:37 --> 00:02:38

controls all the affairs?

00:02:38 --> 00:02:41

They will say the mushi will reply, Allah.

00:02:42 --> 00:02:43

Then why are you

00:02:44 --> 00:02:45

deluded from the truth?

00:02:46 --> 00:02:47

Allah gave the message in Surah Zukr of

00:02:47 --> 00:02:50

chapter number 43 verse number 47. When you

00:02:50 --> 00:02:52

ask them, ask the mushriks, the pagans,

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55

who is your creator? They say Allah. Then

00:02:55 --> 00:02:55

why

00:02:56 --> 00:02:59

do you worship somebody else? So here, Allah

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

is giving the example in the Quran that

00:03:01 --> 00:03:03

the mushriks, they believed in one Allah.

00:03:04 --> 00:03:04

They believed

00:03:05 --> 00:03:05

in

00:03:07 --> 00:03:07

but

00:03:08 --> 00:03:11

they worshiped other gods besides Allah. Therefore, Allah

00:03:11 --> 00:03:13

says in Suri Yusuf chapter number 12, verse

00:03:13 --> 00:03:14

10 6,

00:03:15 --> 00:03:17

most of the people worship not Allah

00:03:18 --> 00:03:20

without associating partners with him.

00:03:20 --> 00:03:23

That means, most of the human beings,

00:03:23 --> 00:03:25

they worship Allah, but

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

along with associating

00:03:27 --> 00:03:29

partners with Allah. So you find

00:03:30 --> 00:03:32

that even the non Muslim believe in God,

00:03:32 --> 00:03:33

believe in Allah,

00:03:33 --> 00:03:34

but

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36

they associate partner with him.

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39

And if you break any one of the

00:03:39 --> 00:03:41

3 categories of tawhid, it is called as

00:03:41 --> 00:03:42

shirk.

00:03:42 --> 00:03:44

It is the biggest sin in Islam.

00:03:45 --> 00:03:47

Associating partners with Allah is

00:03:48 --> 00:03:49

the biggest sin in Islam.

00:03:50 --> 00:03:51

Allah says in the Quran in Surah An

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53

Nasah, chapter number 4 WASM 48,

00:03:53 --> 00:03:55

that Allah forgiveth not

00:03:56 --> 00:04:00

anyone associating partners with him. Anything else, if

00:04:00 --> 00:04:02

he pleases, he will forgive. For anyone who

00:04:02 --> 00:04:05

has associated partners with God, with Allah, it

00:04:05 --> 00:04:07

is the most heinous sin.

00:04:08 --> 00:04:10

Allah repeats the message in the Quran

00:04:10 --> 00:04:11

16.

00:04:11 --> 00:04:14

That Allah forgiveth not anyone joining gods with

00:04:14 --> 00:04:14

Allah.

00:04:15 --> 00:04:17

Anything else, if he pleases, he may forgive.

00:04:18 --> 00:04:20

But anyone who has joined God with Allah,

00:04:20 --> 00:04:22

he has strayed far away.

00:04:22 --> 00:04:25

So shirk is the biggest sin in Islam.

00:04:25 --> 00:04:27

And Imam Abu Dhabi in his book Al

00:04:27 --> 00:04:27

Khabayr,

00:04:28 --> 00:04:31

even he mentioned shirk as the biggest Khabayr,

00:04:32 --> 00:04:34

biggest sin in Islam.

00:04:35 --> 00:04:36

Allah says in the Quran in surah Maydah

00:04:36 --> 00:04:38

chapter number 5 verse number 72.

00:04:44 --> 00:04:45

They say

00:04:45 --> 00:04:46

that they are doing kufr.

00:04:47 --> 00:04:48

Those who say

00:04:48 --> 00:04:49

that Allah

00:04:49 --> 00:04:51

is Jesus, the son of Mary.

00:04:54 --> 00:04:56

But said Jesus Christ, peace be upon him.

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

You have an Israel, which is of Israel.

00:05:00 --> 00:05:01

Worship Allah.

00:05:02 --> 00:05:03

My lord and your lord.

00:05:05 --> 00:05:07

Anyone who associate partners with Allah.

00:05:09 --> 00:05:11

Allah will make for him.

00:05:13 --> 00:05:15

And 5 shall be dwelling place, and he

00:05:15 --> 00:05:17

shall have no helpers in the hereafter.

00:05:18 --> 00:05:20

Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, said,

00:05:22 --> 00:05:24

anyone who associate partners with

00:05:26 --> 00:05:26

Allah.

00:05:27 --> 00:05:28

Allah will make

00:05:28 --> 00:05:29

for

00:05:30 --> 00:05:30

him.

00:05:32 --> 00:05:34

And fire shall be dwelling place, and he

00:05:34 --> 00:05:36

shall have no helpers in the hereafter.

00:05:37 --> 00:05:39

So this was in brief the 3 categories

00:05:39 --> 00:05:41

of, and if you break any one of

00:05:41 --> 00:05:43

the categories, you are doing shirk, which is

00:05:44 --> 00:05:45

the major sin.
