APPLICATION OF TAWHEED IN OUR LIVES

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a, 12th day of Rabi-ul Aakhir. (Wednesday, 17th of November 2021). *_APPLICATION OF TAWHEED IN OUR LIVES_*. BismilLah. 

Scholars have divided Tawheed into three categories based on The Qur'an and Sunnah, as follows: 

Tawheed al-Ruboobiyyah (Oneness of Divine Lordship), Tawheed al-Uloohiyyah (Oneness of Divinity) and Tawheed al-Asma’ wa’l-Sifaat (Oneness of the Divine Names and Attributes). 

Tawheed al-Ruboobiyyah (Oneness of Divine Lordship): means believing in ALLAH as One and Unique with regard to HIS actions such as CREATION, SOVEREIGNTY, CONTROL, GIVING LIFE and DEATH, and so on. 

There is a great deal of evidence to support this in the Qur’an and Sunnah. Whoever believes that there is any creator other than ALLAH or any sovereign controlling this universe and disposing of its affairs other than ALLAH has denied this aspect of Tawheed and disbelieved in ALLAH. 

The ahlul kitaab and some non Muslims accepted this aspect of Tawheed in general terms, although they differed with regard to some of its details. The evidence that they used to accept this is to be found in several verses of the Qur’aan such as the following: 

“And if you were to ask them: ‘Who has created the heavens and the earth and subjected the sun and the moon?’ they will surely reply: ‘ALLAH.’ How then are they deviating (as polytheists and disbelievers)?”[al-‘Ankaboot 29:61].

“And if you were to ask them: ‘Who sends down water (rain) from the sky, and gives life therewith to the earth after its death?’ they will surely reply: ‘ALLAH.’ Say: ‘All the praises and thanks be to ALLAH!’ Nay, most of them have no sense”

[al-‘Ankaboot 29:63].

“And if you ask them who created them, they will surely say: ‘ALLAH.’ How then are they turned away (from the worship of ALLAH Who created them)?”[al-Zukhruf 43:87].

In these verses ALLAH states that the kuffaar affirm that HE is the Creator, Sovereign and Controller, but despite that they do not worship HIM alone (Tawheed of worship), which points to the graveness of their wrongdoing and lies, and the weakness of their reasoning. For if there is One Who is described in such terms, none should be worshipped except HIM alone and none should be described as being one and unique except HIM; may HE be glorified above those that they associate with HIM. 

So whoever affirms this Tawheed in the true sense must inevitably also affirm the Oneness of ALLAH’s Divinity (Tawheed al-Uloohiyyah) which is next on our reminder tomorrow in shaaALLAH. *_May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences_*. Aameen.
