Evidences of Tawheed.

Tawheed means attributing Oneness to Allaah and describing Him as being One and Unique, with no partner or peer in His Essence and Attributes.
0 T0 T

It means believing in Allaah alone as God and Lord and attributing to Him alone all the attributes of Lordship and divinity. Tawheed cannot be realized except through nafy(denial) and affirmation (ithbaat). Denial of this ruling for everything other than what it is made for, and affirmation of it for Him. Tawheed is to single out Allaah with all worship meaning that you worship Allaah alone and do not worship anything along with him (Neither a prophet nor His creations).

And your Ilaah (God) is One Ilaah [ilaahun waahidun] (God Allaah), Laa Ilaaha illa Huwa (there is none who has the right to be worshipped but He), the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful [al-Baqarah 2:163]

Surely, disbelievers are those who said: Allaah is the third of the three (in a Trinity). But there is no Ilaah (god) (none who has the right to be worshipped) but One Ilaah [ilaahun waahidun] (God Allaah). And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall on the disbelievers among them [alMaa'idah 5:73] And there are many similar verses. )2737 ( ) 91 ( : " : " " In Saheeh al-Bukhaari (7372) and Saheeh Muslim (19) it is narrated that Ibn Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sent Muaadh ibn Jabal to Yemen, he said to him: You are going to people from among the People of the Book, so let the first thing to which you call them be belief in Allaah alone (Tawheed). If they accept that, then tell them that Allaah has enjoined on them five prayers every day and night. If they pray then tell them that Allaah has enjoined on them zakaah from their wealth to be taken from their rich and given to their poor. If they agree to that then take it from them but avoid the best of peoples wealth. ) 61 ( : ) : (

In Saheeh Muslim it is narrated from Ibn Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Islam is built on five (pillars): belief that Allaah is One, establishing regular prayer, paying zakaah, fasting Ramadaan and Hajj. What is meant by Tawheed in all these texts is affirming the meaning of the testimony that there is no god but Allaah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah, which is the essence of the religion of Islam with which Allaah sent His Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), based on the evidence of the words of the Quraan and Sunnah. This indicates that Tawheed is the essence of the testimony that there is no god except Allaah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah, and that this is Islam with which Allaah sent His Prophet to the two races of mankind and the jinn, other than which Allaah will not accept any religion from anyone.

Classifications of Tawheed
Tawheed al-Marifah wal-Ithbaat (Oneness of knowledge and affirmation): which includes believing in the existence of Allaah and in His Lordship and His names and attributes. Tawheed al-Qasd wal-Talab (Oneness of object and aim), which includes believing in the divine nature of Allaah. : Tawheed al-Ruboobiyyah (Oneness of Divine Lordship), - Tawheed al-Uloohiyyah (Oneness of Divinity) Tawheed al- Asma wal-Sifaat (Oneness of the Divine Names and Attributes). Tawheed al-Ruboobiyyah It is to believe Allah as One and Unique and that alone is the Creator of the Universe and its designer and That he is the one that gives life and death. That he is the Provider, the Powerful and the Possessor of Strength. Tawheed al-ruboobiyyah means affirming that Allaah is One and Unique in His actions, such as creation, sovereignty, controlling affairs, provision, giving life and death, sending down the rain, and so on. A persons Tawheed is not complete unless he affirms that Allaah is the Lord, Sovereign, Creator and Provider of all things, that He is the Giver of life and death, the One Who brings benefit and causes harm, the only One Who answers prayers, the One Who is in control of all things, in Whose hand is all goodness, the One Who is able to do whatever He wills which also includes believing in the divine will and decree (al-qadar), both good and bad. al-Zukhruf 43:9 al-Zukhruf 43:87 The entire universe, in the way it is created and the way it is controlled, bears witness to the oneness of Allaah:

Indeed your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in Six Days, and then He Istawa (rose over) the Throne (really in a manner that suits His Majesty). He brings the night as a cover over the day, seeking it rapidly, and (He created) the sun, the moon, the stars subjected to His Command. Surely, His is the creation and commandment. Blessed is Allaah, the Lord of the Aalameen (mankind, jinn and all that exists)! [al-Araaf 7:54]

The creation of the heavens and the earth, the alternation of night and day, the different kinds of inanimate objects, plants and fruits, the creation of humans and animals all of that indicates that the Almighty Creator is One with no partner or associate:

That is Allaah, your Lord, the Creator of all things, Laa ilaaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). How then are you turning away (from Allaah, by worshipping others instead of Him)?[Ghaafir 40:62 The variety and greatness of these created things, the perfect way in which they are formed, the way in which they are maintained and controlled, all indicate that the Creator is One and that He does as He wills and rules and decides as He wants:

Allaah is the Creator of all things, and He is the Wakeel (Trustee, Disposer of affairs, Guardian) over all things [al-Zumar 39:62 ] All of the above indicate that this universe has a Creator, that this dominion has a Sovereign, that behind these forms is One Who gives them shape:

He is Allaah, the Creator, the Inventor of all things, the Bestower of forms. To Him belong the Best Names [al-Hashr 59:24] The soundness of the heavens and the earth, the order of the universe, the harmony among created things, all indicate that the Creator is One, with no partner or associate:

Had there been therein (in the heavens and the earth) aalihah (gods) besides Allaah, then verily, both would have been ruined. Glorified be Allaah, the Lord of the Throne, (High is He) above all that (evil) they associate with Him![al-Anbiya 21:22] These great created things either created themselves which is impossible or man created himself then created them which is also impossible: Were they created by nothing? Or were they themselves the creators?

Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, but they have no firm Belief[al-Toor 52:35-36 interpretation of the meaning] Reason, Revelation and the original state of man (fitrah) all indicate that this universe has One Who brought into being, that these created things have a Creator Who is Ever-Living and Eternal, All-Knowing and All-Aware, Powerful and Almighty, Kind and Most Merciful. He has the Most Beautiful Names and Sublime Attributes and He knows all things. Nothing is beyond His control, and there is nothing like unto Him:

And your Ilaah (God) is One Ilaah (God Allaah), Laa ilaaha illa Huwa (there is none who has the right to be worshipped but He), the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful . [al-Baqarah 2:163] The existence of Allaah is something that is there is no excuse for not knowing. It is the matter of common sense: Their Messengers said: What! Can there be a doubt about Allaah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth? [Ibraaheem 14:10] Allaah has created people with the natural instinct (fitrah) to affirm His Lordship and Oneness, but the shayaateen (devils) came to the sons of Adam and caused them to deviate from their religion. According to a hadeeth qudsi, I created all My slaves as haneefs (monotheists), but the shayaateen (devils) came to them and made them deviate from their religion, and they forbade them that which I had permitted to them. (Narrated by Muslim, no. 2865) . Even Iblis the accursed believes in Rubbubiyah. In principle, those who denied the presence of Allah never relied on a proof, but it was their obstinacy that prompted them to do so. Allah says

Thus, those people did not deny Allaahs presence out of knowledge. In fact, the claims of those who denied the presence of Allah are refutable since this universe and the cycle of life attests to the oneness of Allaah and his lordship. Glorified be Allaah far above that which they associate with Him. Praise be to Allaah the Lord of the Worlds:

Is not He (better than your so-called gods) Who originates creation, and shall thereafter repeat it, and Who provides for you from heaven and earth? Is there any ilaah (god) with Allaah? Say: Bring forth your proofs, if you are truthful [al-Naml 27:64] Tawheed al-Uloohiyyah Tawheed al-Uloohiyyah means devoting all acts of worship, both inward and outward, in word and deed, to Allaah Alone, and not worshipping anything or anyone other than Allaah, no matter who he is. It means that no one deserves to be worshipped but Allaah. So whoever affirms this Tawheed in the true sense must inevitably also affirm the Oneness of Allaahs Allaah says: And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him[al-Isra 17:23] Worship Allaah and join none with Him (in worship) [al-Nisa 4:36] It may be described as devoting all ones actions to Allaah alone. It is called Tawheed al-Uloohiyyah because it is based on taalluh lillaah which is worship and devotion of Allaah accompanied by love and veneration. It is also called Tawheed al-Ibaadah (oneness of worship) because it means that a person worships Allaah by doing that which He has commanded and avoiding that which He has forbidden. And We did not send any Messenger before you (O Muhammad ) but We inspired him (saying): La ilaha illa Ana [none has the right to be worshipped but I (Allah)], so worship Me (Alone and none else)." Ambiya 25 And they were commanded not, but that they should worship Allah, and worship none but Him Alone (abstaining from ascribing partners to Him), and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat) and give Zakat: and that is the right religion Ibadah as the perfect love for Allaah and submission to him. The Worship that Allaah has ordered us to do entails the meaning of submission to him and his love. Ibadah is based on three pillars Love for Allah, longing for his mercy and fearing Him. It is also called Tawheed al-Talab wal-Qasd wal-Iraadah (Oneness of goal, purpose and will) because it means that a person does not seek anything except the Face of Allaah, so he worships Him sincerely. This is the kind of Tawheed concerning which people went astray, which is why the Prophets were sent and the Books were revealed. This is the purpose for which the universe was created and laws were prescribed. 5

Concerning this disputes arose between the Prophets and their peoples, so the stubborn were doomed and the believers were saved. Whoever goes astray with regard to this Tawheed, such as devoting some of his worship to someone other than Allaah, has gone beyond the pale of Islam and drifted away from true belief. May Allaah protect us from that. So whoever supplicates, sacrifices, or vows to anyone/thing other than Allaah has indeed committed a major shirk.

Yunus 18

Tawheedur Rububiyyah necessitates Tawhidul Uluhiyyah, so one who believes in Allahs lordship should necessarily believe the fact that none but him deserves to be worshipped. In order words, he who believes that Allah alones is due for worship should believe that he is the lord and creator. Evidences from the Quraan

Albaqarah 21-22 Adh Dhariyaat 56 An Nahl 36 Ahqaf 5 It is upon each and every one of us to avoid falling into shirk. Tawheed al-Asma wal-Sifaat With regard to Tawheed al-Asma wal-Sifaat (Oneness of the Divine Names and Attributes), this means affirming the names and attributes of Allaah and believing that there is none like unto Allaah in His names and attributes. This Tawheed is based on two principles:

1 Affirmation: i.e., affirming that which Allaah has affirmed for Himself in His Book or that His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) has affirmed of His beautiful names and sublime attributes in a manner that suits the Majesty and Greatness of Allaah, without distorting them, twisting their meanings, denying their reality or discussing how they are. 2 Denial: i.e., denying that Allaah has any faults and denying any shortcomings that He has denied Himself. The evidence for that is the words of Allaah (interpretation of the meaning):
0 T0 T

There is nothing like Him, and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer [al-Shoora 42:11] So He has denied that He bears any resemblance to His creation, and affirmed that He has attributes of perfection in a manner that befits Him, may He be glorified. Allahs names are of three categories some involve those names conveyed to whom he wishes of the angels and other bondmen and which are not revealed in any of his books. The second category involves those names mentioned in his book and thus are known to his bindmen. And the third category involves those names that are exclusively know to him. : : : . : : Disbelief in Allaahs names and attributes can be 1. Giving an Idol any of Allahs names e.g Al Uzza (Al Azziz) or Al Lat (Al Ilah) 2. Depecting Allaah with an inappropriate name e.g Father 3. Portraying Allah in a a term showing deficiency; Allah is Al Ghaniy (jew said is poor and hands are tied). Lastly, Soorah Al-Faatihah, mentions all three categories of tawheed. Allaah says [1]: All the praise is due to Allaah, the Lord of all that exists Here is tawheed ar-ruboobiyyah, as the verse establishes Allaah's Lordship over the 'aalameen, which means everything except Allaah, and the Rabb (Lord) means the Owner and Controller of Affairs. Allaah then says : ( The Bestower of Mercy, the All-Merciful, the Owner of the Day of Judgement ) Tawheed al-asmaa' was-sifaat is present in these verses, as Allaah establishes for Himself the attributes of Mercy and Ownership. He also establishes some of His Names - Ar-Rahmaan, Ar-Raheem, and Al-Maalik. Then He says: You alone we worship, and You alone we seek help from And here is tawheed al-uloohiyyah, as the verse demonstrates the obligation to single out Allaah with acts of worship, and to seek help from Him alone. 7
