Dear Brothers and Sisters, Allah is the proper name of The God and humble submission to Allah Wills, Divine Ordinances and Commandments is the pivot of the Muslim faith and Creed. It is the first part of the Shahadah that ‘there is no god but Allah and There is no Anyone but Allah’, which is about the Oneness of Allah or ‘Tauhid’. It means that there is one God (Allah) only that is Allah. Allah is One and Only, and nothing is like to Allah Almighty. There are numerous verses in the Qur’an about Tauhid (Only One) or the Oneness of Allah.
Associating partners with Allah is called Shirk (Like Him). It is opposite of “Tauhid” (Only One) the oneness of Allah. Shirk is not only the worship of idols and Other things in the Universe, but also offering prayers or supplications to anyone, living or dead, believing that they hold the same qualities as Allah Almighty.
It is up to Allah to forgive all of our sins and bad deeds, but according to Qur’an Shirk is the only sin and bad thing which will not be forgiven if not repented during one’s life. or whole life. There are many names of Tauhid e.g. Oneness of Allah, there is no god except Allah, Tawheed Oneness of Allah, No god except Allah, Oneness of Allah in Quran, Allah lord. There are three kinds of Tauhid:
- First-Tauhid-ar-Rububiyya
- Second-Tauhid-al-Uluhiyya
- Third-Tauhid-al-Asma was-Sifaat
Muslims are required to believe in all of the above types of Tauhid forms to have the correct Faith or creed. This was the message brought by all the Messengers of Allah Peace Be Upon Him from Mose (Scrolls of Moses) Noah (Mursal), Ismail,Ishaq, Dhul Kifl,llyas, Zakariyya,Yahya, Isa Abraham (Scrolls of Abraham), Moses, David, Saleh Hud, Shu,ayb Solomon, Jesus to Hazrat Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Them All).
First-Tauhid-ar-Rububiyya
Belief in Oneness of the Lordship of Allah Almighty (SWT), meaning Allah Almighty (SWT) is the one and only Lord (God) of everything in the whole universe. He is Al-Khaliq (the name of Allah), which means Allah created everything including in the whole universe, the stars, the planets, the sun, the moon, water, Rivers, Sees, Birds, the heavens, the earth with all living and non-living things like stones, and so on other things.
It is He Who gives life and death. (He is the owner of the all) He is Ar-Rab (the name of Allah), which means He alone is the Sustainer, and the Giver of Security. He is Al-Malik (The Name of Allah), which means everything good or bad happens with His permission. If a person chooses to do a bad thing and Evils and bad deeds.
Second-Tauhid-al-Uluhiyya
It means the Belief that only O Allah Almighty could be worshipped. No one has the right to be worshipped (Ibaada) but Allah alone. The word “Worship” means a number of things. It means that all kinds of worship are for Allah Almighty and no one else, so pray to Allah Almighty only, ask for help from Allah Almighty only, swear by Allah Almighty only, offer an animal as sacrifice to Allah Almighty only. It means that all that Allah Almighty orders you to do you must do, and all that Allah Almighty stop you to do, you must not do.
Third-Tauhid-al-Asma was-Sifaat
It means the Belief that all good names and qualities which Allah Almighty has mentioned in Quran, or The Messenger of Allah Hazrat Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him has used for Him, all those names and qualities are for Allah Almighty only, without changing their meanings or neglecting them. These names and qualities are not for anyone else but Allah Almighty and we must not use them for any of Allah’s Almighty creation.
So, Allah Almighty is with us all of the time through His knowledge, as He sees and hears everything from the Throne, known as Allah. Allah does not any need to be with us physically. Allah Almighty is everywhere; Allah Almighty sees and hears all that we do or say or think, through Allah’s knowledge.
