TAUHEED KYA HAI - by ABUZAYD ZAMEER توحید کیا ہے- ابو زيد The noble scholar Abdur-Rahmaan Ibn Naasir As-Sa'dee, rahimahullaah, said: "Know that Tawheed in the unrestricted sense, is the knowledge and the acknowledgement, that the Lord Allaah, is singled out with all the attributes of Perfection. And it is to affirm that He is singled out with all the Attributes of Greatness and Majesty. And it is to single Him out alone with all worship. And this is of three categories: 1. The first category: Tawheed ul-Asmaa was-Sifaat (The Tawheed of Allaah's Divine Names and Attributes): It is to believe that the Lord Allaah - the Most Mighty and Majestic, He Alone has total and complete Perfection in every sense, in that He has the characteristics of Greatness and Majesty and Beauty which are such that nobody else besides Him has any share of those along with Him whatsoever. 2. The second category: Tawheed ar-Rubobiyyah (Tawheed of Allaah's Lordship): It is that the slave believes with certainty, that Allaah is the Lord -- ar-Rabb -- Who Alone is singled out with creation. And giving provision. And controlling the affairs. The Lord, He Who nourished and sustained all of the creation with His blessings. And Who nourished His chosen ones from His creation, and they are the Prophets and their followers. 3. The third category of Tawheed: Tawheed of al-'Ibaadah (Tawheed of Allaah's Divinity and worship): It is the knowledge and the acknowledgement, that Allaah is the sole Possessor of Divinity, and the One Who has the sole Right to be worshipped over all of His creation. (And ) that He alone should be worshipped by them -- all of them -- and they should make the Religion sincerely and purely for Allaah alone. And this last category of Tawheed, it necessitates the first two (categories of Tawheed), and it includes them. (i.e. Tawheed of Allaah's Divinity and worship, necessarily covers and includes belief and affirmation of Allaah's Lordship and His Names and Attributes.)
