Hajj and Tawheed: Hajj is to set out for Makkah to worship Allaah by performing certain religious rights in accordance with the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) Sunnah. It is a time in which to call upon Allaah to purify the self from any worship to anyone other than him.
This booklet explains the basic rights of Hajj. It also notes that the tawheed of Allaah requires the Muslim to follow the perfect way of worship, demonstrated by Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and as understood by the Sahaabah who were the best of mankind.
This surah discusses two key topics:
1) It reminds believers of Allah's mercy and power during the Battle of the Trench.
2) It provides instructions on proper behavior with the Prophet and his wives, and warns hypocrites about their bad conduct.
This document discusses the basic teachings of Islam, specifically the concept of tawheed or Islamic monotheism. It explains that all prophets, including Muhammad, taught that God is one and should be worshipped alone. However, the pre-Islamic Arab pagans of Mecca, while acknowledging God's power, also worshipped idols as intercessors with God. The document analyzes verses from the Quran refuting the idolatry of the pagans and emphasizing that no one besides God has true power to benefit or harm. It also warns that worshipping anything other than God leads to punishment in the hereafter.
The document contains three letters on related topics:
1. The first letter discusses the importance of growing a beard in Islam and reasons why removing it is forbidden, including that it is a sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad and resembles the disbelievers.
2. The second letter is about "isbaal", which refers to trimming the mustache in a way that changes its natural form.
3. The third letter addresses smoking and health issues related to it.
Hadhrat Uthman bin Affan was a highly distinguished companion of Prophet Muhammad. He was among the earliest converts to Islam and emigrated twice for its propagation. He was married to two daughters of the Prophet. Uthman was extremely generous and modest, and the Prophet prayed for his forgiveness. Due to his virtues, excellence and marrying the Prophet's daughters, Uthman holds a position of high esteem.
Angels play an important role in Islam. They are believed to be spiritual beings created by God to obey and worship Him. Some key beliefs about angels include:
- Angels help carry out God's commands and plans, such as teaching Adam, ordering others to bow before Adam, and informing Mary that she will give birth to Jesus.
- They record humans' good and bad deeds and accompany humans throughout their lives and after death. Angels take believers' souls gently and inform them of their entrance to paradise.
- Angels help and protect believers when enemies attack, with God sending 5,000 angels to assist those with patience and piety. They question disbelievers after death about why they did not
Some beautiful sunnahs of Rasulallah SAW when first waking up in the morning include:
1) Rubbing the palms on the face and eyes to remove the effects of sleep.
2) Reciting duas praising Allah for restoring life and asking for forgiveness.
3) Making miswak is also sunnah when awakening.
4) When dressing, put on clothes starting with the right side first, like the right leg/sleeve of trousers/shirt.
Assalamu'alaykum everyone, I bring the collection of Imam An-Nawawi to you in the presentation format. There is no goodness in me, all the good that I do is only and only by Allah and from His guidance. We are all sinners striving to be better human beings and our aim should only be to please the Lord of the Heavens and the Earth. Always remember that this life is temporary so leave its glitter for those who desire it.
Please keep me in your precious duas!
May Allah bless everyone who reads the content here. Jazakum'Allahu Khayran!

These include late at night, between the call to prayer and the prayer, during prayer such as while prostrating, after waking at night, and several other specific times and situations such as when fasting, during travel, and when oppressed.
The document discusses evidence for the core beliefs of Islam. It provides evidence from Quranic verses to support the following beliefs:
1. That Allah is the one true God and Creator of all things.
2. That Islam is the final and complete religion, based on believing in Allah's oneness and following His commands.
3. That Muhammad is the final prophet of Allah, as supported by verses stating he delivered Allah's message.
The document uses numerous Quranic verses to establish the theological foundations of Islam and prove the key tenets of monotheism and Muhammad's prophethood.
The document discusses various aspects of angels in Islam based on Quranic verses and hadith. It mentions angels such as Jibreel, Mika'il, Israfeel, the angels that guard Hellfire and Paradise, the angels in the grave recording deeds, and the angel of death.

The shaykh concluded by noting this statement has two pillars - negation of worship to others and affirmation of worship

One of the works on this subject is his “al-Fatwaa al-Hamawiyyah” which he wrote as an answer to a question presented to him in the Hijrah year of 698 from Hamaah, a place in ash-Shaam. In it, he was asked what the scholars and Imaams of the religion say concerning the Aayaat and the Ahaadeeth of the Siaat, or the attributes and characteristics of Allah. So he answered in about 83 pages and due to which, he suffered trials and afflictions.
This document provides a summary of Islamic beliefs and pillars according to the Quran and hadith. It begins by outlining the five pillars of Islam: faith, prayer, charity, fasting during Ramadan, and pilgrimage if able. It then discusses the six pillars of faith: belief in God, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Day of Judgment, and divine decree. The document goes on to define various Islamic concepts like worship, its forms, the purpose of prophets, and the three aspects of tawheed (monotheism): lordship, names/attributes, and worship. It uses Quranic verses and hadith to support each point.
The document discusses the relationship between Islam and disbelief (kufr). It makes three key points:
1) Islam is the religion of all prophets, while the specific laws and rulings differ. Islam in its general sense is the worship of God alone.
2) The Jews and Christians knew of Prophet Muhammad but refused to believe in him, despite clear signs. They fought against him and the early Muslims due to arrogance.
3) Historically and presently, the Jews and Christians have been enemies of Muslims. The Quran and hadiths indicate this will continue in the future. There can be no reconciliation between Islam and disbelief.
Take your Beliefs from the Quran and SunnahZaffer Khan
This document summarizes the key beliefs and principles of Islam according to the Quran and hadith. It begins by outlining the five pillars of Islam and six pillars of faith. It then discusses the right of Allah upon His slaves to worship Him alone. Various forms of tawheed (affirming the oneness of God) are defined, including tawheed of lordship, worship, and Allah's names and attributes. The purpose of prophets and how to worship Allah with fear, hope, and consciousness of being watched are also addressed. The document aims to establish beliefs based firmly on Islamic scriptural sources.
This document provides information about Surah Al-Ikhlas (Chapter 112 of the Quran). It discusses the meaning and themes of monotheism/tawhid in the surah. Key points include:
1) Surah Al-Ikhlas affirms the oneness of Allah and that He begets not nor was He begotten.

3) The Prophet Muhammad instructed that Allah loves those who recite this surah often due to its emphasis on Allah's qualities.
4) The surah was revealed to emphasize monotheism in response

What is invocation? What are the means of invoking Allah?
Allah has revealed the means of invoking Him in the Holy Qur’an: “O you who believe! Do your duty to Allah and fear Him. And seek the means of approach to Him, and strive hard in His Cause (as much as you can), so that you may be successful” [Al-Ma'idah 5:35]
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱبۡتَغُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِ ٱلۡوَسِيلَةَ وَجَـٰهِدُواْ فِى سَبِيلِهِۦ لَعَلَّڪُمۡ تُفۡلِحُونَ
Transliteration: Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo ittaqoo Allaha waibtaghoo ilayhi alwaseelata wajahidoo fee sabeelihi laAAallakum tuflihoona
Al-Hafiz Ibn Katheer, may Allah bless his soul, in his book (Interpreting the Holy Qur’an), explained this verse saying: Allah commanded His faithful slaves to fear Him, which if connected to obedience, was intended to stop committing sins and abandon the forbidden.

Shaykh Abdillah Sulaymān Ibn Nasir Ibn ‘Abdillah Al-‘Ulwan
Language: English | Format: PDF | Pages: 50 | Size: 1 MB
This small treatise from the noble Shaykh, Imām Sulaymān Ibn Nāsir Al-‘Ulwān, may Allāh free him, is both topical and relevant, concerning the current state of affairs which the Islāmic nation is now facing. And due to this fact, we found it beneficial for the many English speaking Muslims to read and perhaps learn and grasp its meanings. We have added several additional footnotes (with Trans. Note) in order to aid the translation, clarify certain points and lastly, to add additional evidences in order to make the issues that are raised, less ambiguous. We have also added an appendix to the text of the book with a short biographical account of the Shaykh and his background, in order to introduce the author to the English reader. We have summarized this from a larger treatise, which will be referenced in that section, In Shā’ Allāh. And we ask Allāh to accept this small effort from us and help it to benefit the young men and women of the Islāmic nation and be a source of inspiration for them upon the truth.
The document discusses several ways to seek barakah (blessing) from Allah based on Quranic verses and hadiths. It mentions obeying Allah and His messenger through acts like istighfar (seeking forgiveness) and tawba (repentance). It also discusses upholding kinship ties, being grateful to Allah, following Islamic etiquette like saying Bismillah before eating, protecting oneself through recommended dhikr and dua, giving charity, performing Hajj and Umrah frequently, and giving thanks to Allah. The overall message is that adhering to Islamic principles and commands increases Allah's blessings.
The shaykh discussed the conditions necessary for the statement "La ilaaha ill Allaah" to be correct. There are two fundamental pillars - the negation of worship to anything besides Allah, and the affirmation of all worship for Allah alone. The shaykh noted that knowledge of this statement's meaning and conditions is essential. He also highlighted hadith indicating that the greatest right Allah has over His servants is that they worship Him solely without any partners. The shaykh clarified a point about attributing knowledge to the Prophet after his death, stating only Allah knows best now.

The document provides an explanation of the meaning of "Taaghoot" according to Imaam Muhammad bin ‘Abdil-Wahhaab. It is summarized as follows:
1. The first obligation on mankind is to reject the Taaghoot and believe in Allah alone. Taaghoot refers to anything worshipped besides Allah.
2. The treatise defines rejecting the Taaghoot and believing in Allah, and explains they form the foundation of Ibrahim's religion.
3. It identifies the main categories of Taaghoot as the devil, oppressive rulers, false judges, those who claim knowledge of the unseen, and those who are worshipped.
The document summarizes ten "Nullifiers of Islam" as outlined by Imam Muhammad bin 'Abdil-Wahhaab. The first nullifier is committing shirk (associating partners) with Allah in acts of worship. The second is placing intermediaries between oneself and Allah by calling on them or seeking their intercession. The third nullifier is not considering polytheists to be disbelievers or having doubts about their disbelief. The author explains each nullifier in further detail.

The document discusses the results of a study analyzing COVID-19 case data from March to May 2020 across different US states. It finds that states that implemented stay-at-home and business closure orders earlier and more aggressively were more effective at reducing disease spread. However, lifting restrictions too quickly led to a rise in cases in some states. The precise timing of reopening is important to avoid a resurgence of infections.

The document discusses how enjoining right and forbidding wrong is an integral part of Islam that all Muslims are responsible for upholding through gentle encouragement of good deeds and prohibition of sins.

Muslims are described as the best community for implementing this duty through peaceful guidance aimed at bettering society.

3) The testimony means accepting Muhammad's prophethood and following his guidance, as he delivered Allah's final revelation to humanity.

Retaliation against insults and abuse is permitted under Islamic law, but forgiveness is better. If someone curses another or wishes them harm, retaliation in similar terms is allowed, unless it exceeds the initial offense. An insult that mentions true character flaws can be returned, but not false accusations. While hatred of non-believers is understandable, Muslims must still act justly towards all. Retaliation is only permitted for offenses that cause personal harm, not those that violate religious commands, where no retaliation is allowed at all. Most jurists agree that capital crimes like murder may warrant equivalent retaliation, while violations like forced drinking or sexual assault do not allow for retaliation.
This document summarizes the ailments of the heart and their cures according to Islamic teachings. It discusses how the heart can become diseased through doubts, desires, and sins, weakening its perception of truth and strengthening its love of falsehood, just as the body becomes ill. The heart's well-being is even more important than the body's. Sickness occurs through exposure to similar influences that first caused the disease, while following righteous guidance and knowledge can cure it. Cures include the Quran, righteous deeds, avoiding sins and harmful influences, and gaining beneficial knowledge.
This document discusses the dilemma facing youth today. It outlines three types of youth: rightly guided youth who firmly follow Islamic principles; deviated youth who have strayed from religion; and confused youth who are unsure between good and evil. It emphasizes the importance of strengthening youth through religious education and good character building so they can become leaders that guide society according to Islamic teachings. When the foundations of future generations are built upon strong religious and moral values, it will lead to a bright future for the Muslim community.

This document argues that democracy is a form of disbelief and polytheism that must be rejected and fought against. It claims that democracy's legislative councils are places of polytheism since only Allah can prescribe laws. It asserts that those who believe in or follow democratic systems have taken legislators as false deities and made man-made laws partners with Allah. The document urges rejecting any other system of governance than one ruled by Islamic law as prescribed by Allah alone.
This document provides a summary of the status and importance of the declaration of faith "Laa ilaaha illallaah" in Islam. It discusses how this declaration is central to Muslim life and practice, forming the basis of key rituals like prayer. The summary emphasizes that:
1) Laa ilaaha illallaah is the most fundamental concept in Islam, forming the dividing line between belief and disbelief.
2) It is the reason why creation, scripture, laws and the afterlife exist in Islam. Belief and accountability are centered around this declaration.
3) Uttering laa ilaaha illallaah correctly protects one's wealth, life and faith, while rejecting it removes
This document discusses da'wah (outreach/invitation) to atheists, deists, and agnostics. It begins by defining these terms and noting that belief in God's existence is logical according to ancient philosophers like Plato and Aristotle. It then discusses several arguments for God's existence, including that design indicates a designer, the complexity of living things cannot be explained by chance, and that belief in God is part of human fitrah (natural disposition). The document aims to convince non-believers through reason and argues that atheism and Darwinism fail to provide satisfactory explanations for the origin and purpose of life.
This document discusses various dangers that can exist in the home if proper precautions are not taken. It highlights issues like allowing non-mahram relatives to enter when the husband is absent, having mixed family gatherings where hijab is not properly observed, employing non-Muslim servants who could influence children with beliefs of kufr, and relying too heavily on servants which causes women to neglect their duties and responsibilities in the home. The document advises segregating men and women during visits, avoiding situations where women are alone with non-mahram drivers, and considering the harms that can come from having servants in the home, such as corruption, theft, or spreading kufr beliefs to children.
5.3. Mandukya Upanishad
The Mandukya Upanishad (the four states of consciousness)
The Mandukya Upanishad belongs to the Atharvaveda. Although it contains only 12 verses.
This Upanishad became the basis for the emergence of the Advaita Vedanta or the philosophy of monism, according to which Brahman alone is the truth and the rest is an illusion.
The Upanishad deals with the symbolic significance of the sacred syllable Aum and its correlation with the four states of consciousness, namely the wakeful consciousness, dream state, the state of deep sleep or dreamless sleep and the state of transcendental consciousness in which all divisions and duality disappears and the self alone exists in its pure state, all by itself.
1. Wakefulness—Jagrat (Vaisvanara is the first stage - A) Consciousness
In this state, atman (the Supreme Self) is mainly mis-identified with annamaya kosha (the “sheath composed of food”—the physical body).
Thus, the jiva (soul) travels in objectivity and becomes an object itself, mostly ignoring its subjective consciousness.

Muladhara is the root centre of physical experience, located at the base of the spine, the sacral plexus. The square represents the earth itself, the four dimensions and the four directions. Four allows for completion, and earth embodies the elements and conditions for human completion on all levels.
Muladhara Chakra is the meeting place of the three main nadis: Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. The downward-pointing triangle indicates the downward movement of energy and the three main nadis.
The seed mantra is Lam, the yellow square represents the earth element. The Muladhara chakra governs the vital breath Apana. An inverted triangle in the centre of the square encloses the unmanifest Kundalini, represented as a snake wrapped in three and a half coils around the svayambhu (self born) linga. Because her mouth faces downward, the flow of energy is downward.
The opening at the entrance of the sushumna is called brahma-dvara, the door of Brahma, which is closed by the coils of the sleeping Kundalini. As soon as one begins working with Muladhara chakra, this dormant energy awakens, raises its head and flows freely into the channel of Sushumna, the central nerve canal that runs along the spine. These two aspects of the kundalini: sleeping and waking, are identified as her “poison” and her “nectar.” The kundalini is poison when she remains asleep in the lower abdomen; she is nectar when she rises up through Sushumna, the medial channel, to reunite with Siva, the Absolute, in the yogin’s cranial vault.
In the pericarp is found the presiding deity Brahma, the lord of creation. His skin is the color of wheat, he wears a yellow dhoti and a green scarf. Brahma is four-faced, four-armed, holding in his upper left hand a lotus flower, the symbol of purity.

In his search towards reality or the unchanging fundamental unit of this universe, a scientist started with the external gross world of solid matter which is simple and easy to see, divide, and do experiments with.
This search led him through steps of understanding of this entire world of matter starting from elements, molecules, atoms, protons, neutrons and electrons;
He further understood that it is all packets of energy.
The atoms conglomerate together to form various chemicals; our body is therefore a permutation and combination of various chemicals. (Packets of energy in various configurations) When they join together they form molecules, cells, tissues organs, etc.
These follow certain well defined laws of nature and are controlled by nervous (electrical) and chemical (hormones) mechanisms to bring about movement and action in each and every cell.
Thus annamaya kosha is the physical frame which the grossest of the five Koshas.
Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...OmarBarrezueta1
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).

Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
Tales of This and Another Life - Chapters.pdfMashaL38
This book is one of the best of the translated ones, for it has a warning character for all those who find themselves in the experience of material life. Irmão X provides a shrewd way of describing the subtleties and weaknesses that can jeopardize our intentions, making us more attentive and vigilant by providing us with his wise pages, reminding us between the lines of the Master's words: "Pray and watch."
God calls us to a journey of worshiping Him. In this journey you will encounter different obstacles and derailments that will want to sway you from worshiping God. You got to be intentional in breaking the barriers staged on your way of worship in order to offer God acceptable worship.
Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

English Translation by Abu Osama

2. The Aqeedah of at-Taifah al-Mansoorah
In the Name of Allaah Ar-Rahmaan Ar-Raheem
at-Tawheed
All Praise is due for Allaah the Lord of the Worlds. We send peace and blessings
upon the most honourable of the Prophets and Messengers, our Prophet
Muhammad (وﺳﻠﻢ ﻋﻠﯿﮫ اﷲ )ﺻﻠﻰ and we send complete peace and blessings upon his
family and Companions.
To proceed.
Know, O servant of Allaah, that Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ created the whole creation
behind which was a great Hikmah (wisdom) and that is to worship Him alone
without making any association with Him (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ .)ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ said,
ِﻥﻭﺪﺒﻌﻴِﻟ ﱠﺎﻟِﺇ ﺲِﻧﺈﹾﻟﺍﻭ ﻦِﺠﹾﻟﺍ ﺖﹾﻘﹶﻠﺧ ﺎﻣَ
“And I did not create man or Jinn except for my worship.” [Dhariyaat 56]
The above ayah means to worship Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ singularly and alone (i.e.
Yuwahidoon). He (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has also said,
ﺪﺒﻋﹶﺃ ﺎﻣ ﹶﻥﻭﺪِﺑﺎﻋ ﻢﺘﹶﻧﺃ ﹶﺎﻟﻭ
“And you do not worship what I worship.” [Kaafiroun 3]
Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has negated all of the worship the Mushrikeen (idolators)
undertake even if they performed some ritual actions for Him (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ;)ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ since
they used to perform Shirk (association) in their worship and did not practice
Tawheed. Tawheed being to dedicate all Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ’)ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫs rights to Him
exclusively without association. He (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ says,
ﺍﺪﺣﹶﺃ ِﻪﱠﻠﺍﻟ ﻊﻣ ﻮﺍﻋﺪﺗ ﹶﺎﻠﹶﻓ ِﻪﱠﻠِﻟ ﺪِﺟﺎﺴﻤﹾﻟﺍ ﱠﻥﹶﺃﻭ
“And the Masaajid (mosques) are for Allaah alone. So invoke none (make Du’a)
along with Allaah.” [Jinn 18]
3. Some of the ‘Ulema (Islamic scholars) have expressed Tawheed as three
categories;
First Division: At-Tawheed Ar-Rububiyah
(The Oneness of Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ in His Lordship)
Second Division: At-Tawheed Al-Ulouhiyah
(The Oneness of Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ in His Orders)
Third Division: At-Tawheed Al-Asmaa wal Sifaat
(The Oneness of Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ in His Names and Attributes)
Such divisions were based upon the divine evidences and can be found together in
a single verse of the Qur’an;
ِﺕﻮﺍﻤﺴﺍﻟ ﺏﺭﺎﻴِﻤﺳ ﻪﹶﻟ ﻢﹶﻠﻌﺗ ﹾﻞﻫ ِﻪِﺗﺩِﺒﺎﻌِﻟ ﺮِﺒﹶﻄﺻﺍﻭ ﻩﺪﺒﻋﹶﺎﻓ ﻤﺎﻬﻨﻴﺑ ﻣﺎﻭ ِﺽﺭَﻷﻭﺍ
“Lord of the Heavens and of the Earth, and all that is between them; so worship
Him, and be constant and patient in His Worship: do you know anyone one is
worthy of the same Name as He?” [Maryam 65]
When Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ says, “Lord of the Heavens and of the Earth, and all
that is between them” and that is Tawheed Al-Rububiyah. Then Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
) says, “So worship Him and be constant and patient in His Worship” and here is
Tawheed Al-Ulouhiyah and when Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ says, “Do you know anyone
one is worthy of the same Name as He?” this is Tawheed Al-Asmaa wal Sifaat.
At-Tawheed Ar-Rububiyah
This is the dedication of the actions of Allaah ( ﺳﺒﺤوﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ﺎﻧﮫ ) like creating,
commanding, sovereignty and others to Him (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ exclusively [1]. We take
as part of our ‘Aqeedah in Allaah’s exclusive right of Creating and Commanding
as He (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has said,
ﺮﻣَﻷﺍﻭ ﻖﹾﻠﺨﹾﻟﺍ ﻪﹶﻟ ﹶﻻﹶﺃ
“And to He is the Creating and the Command” [Al-Aaraaf 54]
And we also take as our ‘Aqeedah that to Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ alone belongs the
sovereignty of all creation. Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ says,
ِﺽﺭﹶﺄﹾﻟﺍﻭ ِﺕﺍﻭﺎﻤﺴﺍﻟ ﻚﹾﻠﻣ ِﻪﱠﻠِﻟﻭ
4. “And to Allaah belongs the dominions of the Heavens and the Earth” [An-Noor
42]
This division of Tawheed, Ar-Rububiyah, is accepted by even the Kuffar as most
of them believe that Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ is the only Creator, the only Provider, the
one who governs all things and He (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ does not have any assistance nor
any equal His (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ Kingdom. The Qur’an provides evidence that the
Kuffar accept and believe in Tawheed Ar-Rububiyah as opposed to Tawheed Al-
Uluhiyah, which they deny. Allaah ( ﺳﺒﺤﺎوﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ﻧﮫ ) says,
ﹾﻞﹸﻗﻊﻤﺴﺍﻟ ﻚِﻠﻤﻳ ﻦﻣﹶﺃ ِﺽﺭَﻷﺍﻭ ﺎﺀﻤﺴﺍﻟ ﻦﻣ ﹸﻢﻜﹸﻗﺯﺮﻳ ﻦﻣﻦِﻣ ﻲﺤﹾﻟﺍ ﺝِﺮﺨﻳ ﻦﻣﻭ ﺭﺎﺼﺑَﻷﻭﺍ

“Say: ‘Who is it that sustains you (in life) from the sky and from the earth? Or
who is it that has power over hearing and sight? And who is it that brings out the
living from the dead and the dead from the living? And who is it that rules and
regulates all affairs?’ They will soon say, ‘Allaah’. Say, ‘Will ye not then show
piety (to Him)?’” [Yunus 10:31]
Tawheed Al-Ulouhiya
This is the dedication of the ritual actions of the servant of Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ for
His sake alone like Ad-Du’a (ritual petition), Al-Khowf (fear), Al-Mahaba (love),
At-Tawakkul (reliance) and other ritual actions [2]. Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has said,
ﱠﻟﺍﻭ ﻢﹸﻜﹶﻘﹶﻠﺧ ِﻱﺬﱠﻟﺍ ﻢﹸﻜﺑﺭ ﹾﺍﻭﺪﺒﻋﺍ ﺱﺎﻨﺍﻟ ﺎﻬﻳﹶﺃ ﺎﻳﹶﻥﹸﻮﻘﺘﺗ ﻢﹸﻜﱠﻠﻌﹶﻟ ﻢﹸﻜِﻠﺒﹶﻗ ِﻦﻣ ﻦِﻳﺬ
“O people! Worship your Lord, who created you and those who came before you,
so that you may become God-fearing;” [Al-Baqara 2:21]
At-Tawheed Al-Ulouhiyah was the call of all the Prophets from the first of them
(i.e. Adam) to the last of them (i.e. Muhammad (ﻠﻢ ﺳ و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ .)ﺻ Allaah (
وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has said,
ِﻥﻭﺪﺒﻋﹶﺎﻓ ﹾﺎﻧﹶﺃ ﱠﻻِﺇ ﻪﹶﻟِﺇ ﹶﻻ ﻪﻧﺃ ِﻪﻴﹶﻟِﺇ ِﻲﺣﻮﻧ ﱠﻻِﺇ ٍﻝﻮﺳﺭ ِﻦﻣ ﻚِﻠﺒﹶﻗ ِﻦﻣ ﺎﻨﹾﻠﺳﺭﹶﺃ ﺎﻣﻭ
“Not a messenger did We send before you except that we inspired him: that there
is no god but I; therefore worship Me” [al-Anbiya 21:25]
And Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ also said,
5. ﺕﹸﻮﻏﱠﺎﻄﺍﻟ ﹾﺍﻮﺒِﻨﺘﺟﺍﻭ ﻪﹼﻠﺍﻟ ﹾﺍﻭﺪﺒﻋﺍ ِﻥﹶﺃ ﹰﻻﻮﺳﺭ ٍﺔﻣﹸﺃ ﱢﻞﹸﻛ ِﻲﻓ ﺎﻨﹾﺜﻌﺑ ﺪﹶﻘﹶﻟﻭ
“And We sent to each nation a Prophet (with the command), ‘Worship Allaah and
shun all Tawagheet (any idol, object or person that prevents men from doing good
and leads them astray)’” [Al-Nahl 36]
And this Tawheed of Ulouhiyah is the one which the Kuffar negate and
consequently, Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has made the Mushrikeen (idolators)
disbelievers (Kuffar) because of this; making the spilling of their blood and the
seizing of their wealth permissible as has been reported in the Hadith Mutawaatir
(through a continuous chains of narrators) and in the Saheehayn (Bukhari and
Muslim) that the Prophet (ﻠﻢ ﺳ و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ )ﺻ said,
ﻣﲏ ﻋﺼﻤﻮﺍ ﺍﷲ ﺇﻻ ﺇﻟﻪ ﻻ ﻗﺎﻟﻮﺍ ﻓﺈﺫﺍ ﺍﷲ ﺇﻻ ﺇﻟﻪ ﻻ ﻳﻘﻮﻟﻮﺍ ﺣﱴ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﺃﻗﺎﺗﻞ ﺃﻥ ﺃﻣﺮﺕ
ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻢﻭﺣﺴﺎ ﲝﻘﻬﺎ ﺇﻻ ﻭﺃﻣﻮﺍﳍﻢ ﺩﻣﺎﺀﻫﻢ
“I have been ordered to fight the people until they say, ‘There is no-one worthy of
being worshipped except Allaah and if they say that there is no god but Allaah
then their blood and wealth is considered protected from me except by the Haqq of
Shari’ah and their account is to Allaah.”
We will digress now to explain about the meaning of the saying, ‘There is none
worthy of worship except Allaah.’ This statement, ‘La ilaha illa Allaah’ actually
means, ‘There is no-one worthy of worship except Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ’)ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ as Allaah
(وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ said to the Al-Kaleem Musa (ﻼم اﻟﺴ ﮫ )ﻋﻠﯿ (i.e. the one Allaah ( ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
)وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ spoke to),
ِﻱﺮﹾﻛِﺬِﻟ ﹶﺓﹶﺎﻠﺼﺍﻟ ِﻢِﻗﹶﺃﻭ ِﻲﻧﺪﺒﻋﹶﺎﻓ ﺎﻧﹶﺃ ﱠﺎﻟِﺇ ﻪﹶﻟِﺇ ﹶﺎﻟ ﻪﱠﻠﺍﻟ ﺎﻧﹶﺃ ِﻲﻨﻧِﺇ
“Verily, I am Allaah. There is no god except I. So worship me and establish the
prayer in order to remember me.” [Ta Ha 14]
6. The statement of the first part of the Shahadah encompasses two pillars;
First: Negation in the part of saying, ‘There is none worthy of worship’. This
negates completely any other object or person worshipped other than Allaah ( ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
)وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ i.e. Kufr bit Taaghout
Second: Affirmation in the part of the saying, ‘Except Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ .’)ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ This
is the affirmation that the worship is for Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ alone and there is no
one to be associated with Him in His worship as there are no partners for Him in
His Kingdom and His Lordship.
At-Tawheed can never become complete except with these two pillars, hence
Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ said,
ِﺓﻭﺮﻌﹾﻟِﺎﺑ ﻚﺴﻤﺘﺳﺍ ِﺪﹶﻘﹶﻓ ِﻪﹼﻠِﺎﻟﺑ ِﻦﻣﺆﻳﻭ ِﺕﹸﻮﻏﱠﺎﻄِﺎﻟﺑ ﺮﹸﻔﹾﻜﻳ ﻦﻤﹶﻓﺎﻬﹶﻟ ﻡﺎﺼِﻔﺍﻧ ﹶﻻ ﻰﹶﻘﹾﺛﻮﹾﻟﺍ
“The one who declares disbelief in Taaghout and then believes in Allaah has
grasped the trustworthy hand-hold than never breaks” [Al-Baqara 2:256]
And Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ also says,
ﺒِﻨﺘﺟﺍﻭ ﻪﹼﻠﺍﻟ ﹾﺍﻭﺪﺒﻋﺍ ِﻥﹶﺃﺕﹸﻮﻏﱠﺎﻄﺍﻟ ﹾﺍﻮ
“Worship Allaah and shun all Tawagheet (any idol, object or person that prevents
men from doing good and leads them astray)” [An-Nahl 36]
And it is reported in Saheeh Muslim that the Prophet (ﻠﻢ ﺳ و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ )ﺻ said,
ﻗﺎﻝ ﻣﻦ:ﺇ ﺇﻟﻪ ﻻﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻭﺣﺴﺎﺑﻪ ﻭﺩﻣﻪ ﻣﺎﻟﻪ ﺣﺮﻡ ﺍﷲ ﺩﻭﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻳﻌﺒﺪ ﲟﺎ ﻭﻛﻔﺮ ﺍﷲ ﻻ
“Whosoever says, ‘There is no god but Allaah and disbelieves in those things that
are worshipped instead of Him his wealth and blood is prohibited and his account
is with Allaah.”
At-Taghout is everything that the worshipper takes as objects of worship
(Ma’boud), to be followed (Matbou’) or obeyed (Muta’a) other than Allaah ( ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
)وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ therefore exceeding their limits [3] . For example an object of worship
which is a Taaghout could be an idol. A person who is Taaghia to be followed
could be a priest, a magician or the evil scholars. And examples of people to be
obeyed who are Taaghout are the great Taaghouts of this age like the evil law
courts whether they be a local, national or international, the Taaghout
governments in charge over the Muslim affairs, and those Mushrikeen rulers over
7. the Muslims, other examples include the legislating parliaments and similar
councils such as the United Nations etc.
If mankind seek their ‘lords and priest’ to permit what Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has
forbidden or to forbid what Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has allowed those people who do
such an action become the ‘Abidun Lil Taaghuot’ or the worshippers of those
Taaghout and those changing Allaah’s (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ law from the priests and lords
are the Taaghout. Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ says,
ﻦِﻳﺬﱠﻟﺍ ﹶﻰﻟِﺇ ﺮﺗ ﻢﹶﻟﹶﺃِﻦﻣ ﹶﻝِﺰﹸﻧﺃ ﺎﻣﻭ ﻚﻴﹶﻟِﺇ ﹶﻝِﺰﹸﻧﺃ ﺎﻤِﺑ ﹾﺍﻮﻨﻣﺁ ﻢﻬﻧﹶﺃ ﹶﻥﻮﻤﻋﺰﻳﹶﻥﺃ ﹶﻥﻭﺪِﻳﺮﻳ ﻚِﻠﺒﹶﻗ

“Have you not seen those who declare that they believe in the revelations that
have come to you and to those before you? They wish to turn together for
judgment (in their disputes) to the Taaghout, though they were ordered to declare
disbelief in them. But Satan's wish is to lead them astray far away (from the
right).” [An-Nisa’ 4:60]
And Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ also says,
ﹾﺍﹸﻭﺬﺨﺗﺍﻣ ﺎﺑﺎﺑﺭﹶﺃ ﻢﻬﻧﺎﺒﻫﺭﻭ ﻢﻫﺭﺎﺒﺣﹶﺃﺢِﻴﺴﻤﹾﻟﺍﻭ ِﻪﹼﻠﺍﻟ ِﻥﻭﺩ ﻦﹾﺍﻭﺪﺒﻌﻴِﻟ ﱠﻻِﺇ ﹾﺍﻭﺮِﻣﹸﺃ ﺎﻣﻭ ﻢﻳﺮﻣ ﻦﺑﺍ

“They took their Rabbis and their Monks to be their Lords and Legislators besides
Allaah and took the Messiah, the son of Mary, while they were commanded to
worship, obey and follow none but one God/Allaah; none has the right to be
worshipped or followed and to legislate but he, praise and glory be to him from
having the partners they associate with him.” [At-Tauba 9:31]
And reported on the authority of Adie bin Haatim in Sunan Tirmidhi that he heard
the Prophet (ﻠﻢ ﺳ و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ )ﺻ reciting the above ayah and he said to the
Prophet (ﻠﻢ ﺳ و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ ,)ﺻ
ﻓﻘﻠﺖﻟﻪ:ﻧﻌﺒﺪﻫﻢ ﻟﺴﻨﺎ ﺇﻧﺎ.ﻗﺎﻝ:، ﻪﻧﻣﻮﺮﺤﺘﻓ ُﷲﺍ ﹼﻞﺃﺣ ﻣﺎ ﻣﻮﻥﺮﺤﻳ ﺃﻟﻴﺲﻣﺎ ﹶﻥﱡﻮﻠﺤﻳﻭ

‘O Prophet of Allaah! We did not worship them. The Prophet (و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ ﺻ
ﻠﻢ )ﺳ replied, ‘Did they (the Rabbis and Monks) not make Halaal (allowed) for
8. them the Haraam (prohibited things) and made Haraam for them what was Halaal.’
And I replied ‘Indeed’. He (اﷲ ﻠﻰ ﺻ ﻠﻢ ﺳ و ﮫ )ﻋﻠﯿ replied, ‘That is your worship
to them.’”
The ‘Ulema (scholars) have reached consensus regarding the explanation of the
above ayah from what is reported through the above hadith (saying) of the Prophet
(ﻠﻢ ﺳ و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ .)ﺻ Another aspect of making what follows when declaring
disbelief in Taaghout is enmity and hatred towards it and to never accept its
worship (including following and obeying) in any circumstance. Allaah ( ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
)وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ has said,

“There is for you an excellent example (to follow) in Ibraham and those with him,
when they said to their people, ‘Surely we disassociate ourselves from you and all
that you worship besides Allaah. We have rejected you, and there has arisen,
between us and you, enmity and hatred forever; until you believe in Allaah and
Him alone.’ [Mumtahina 4]
And Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has said,

“Those who shun At-Taaghout and fall not into its worship, and turn to Allaah in
repentance for them is Good News: so announce the Good News to My Servants
[Az-Zumar 39:17]
Ibn Qayyam (rahimahullah) said,
“All of the ayah in the Qur’an contain a propagation of this Tawheed to proclaim
and testify it and to encompass it, this is because the Qur’an contains the following
types of ayaat,
Regarding news about Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ,)ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ his Names, Attributes and Functions,
and this is Tawheed ar-Rububiyah and Taheed Sifaat.
Or regarding a call to worship Him (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ alone without ascribing any
partners to Him (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ and to reject, denounce and eradicate whatever is
worshipped other than He (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ or an order to fulfil the ritual acts and to
9. forbid anything that opposes that (i.e. doing Muharamaat (forbidden actions), and
this is Tawheed Uluhiyyah and ‘Ibaadah.
Or speaking well about the people of Tawheed and obedience to Allaah ( ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
)وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ and what He (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has done for them in this life and how He
( ـﺑﺣﺎﻧﻪـﺳـوﺗﻌـــﺎﻟﻰ ) will do good to them in the Hereafter, and this is a part of
making Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ One.
Or speaking the news about the people of Shirk (idolators) and how He ( ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
)وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ has dealt with them in this earth from their punishment or what punishment
Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ will give them as a result of their bad actions and this
recompense for those who have left the order of Tawheed.”
This subject of Tawheed is the reality of the Deen (religion, way of life) of Islaam
the only system of life which Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ will accept as He (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
said,
ﹾﻘﻳ ﻦﹶﻠﹶﻓ ﹰﺎِﻳﻨﺩ ِﻡﻼﺳِﺄﹾﻟﺍ ﺮﻴﹶﻏ ِﻎﺘﺒﻳ ﻦﻣﻭﻦِﻳﺮِﺳﺎﺨﹾﻟﺍ ﻦِﻣ ِﺓﺮِﺧﹾﺂﻟﺍ ِﻲﻓ ﻮﻫﻭ ﻪﻨِﻣ ﹶﻞﺒ
“If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allaah), never will it
be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who have
lost.” [Al-Imraan 3:85]
This type of Tawheed contains all matters of worship and one must perform such
actions for Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ sincerely. Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ said,
ﺎﻣﻭﹶﺎﺀﻔﻨﺣ ﻦﻳﺪﺍﻟ ﻪﹶﻟ ﲔِﺼِﻠﺨﻣ ﻪﱠﻠﺍﻟ ﻭﺍﺪﺒﻌﻴِﻟ ﱠﺎﻟِﺇ ﻭﺍﺮِﻣﹸﺃﺗﺆﻳﻭ ﹶﺓﹶﺎﻠﺼﺍﻟ ﻮﺍﻤِﻴﻘﻳﻭﻚِﻟﹶﺫﻭ ﹶﺓﹶﺎﻛﺰﺍﻟ ﻮﺍ
ِﺔﻤﻴﹶﻘﹾﻟﺍ ﻦِﻳﺩ
“And they have been ordered except to worship Allaah giving sincerely devotion,
being true in faith; to establish the prayers and pay the Zakaah; that is the right
and straight religion.” [Al-Bayyinah 98:5]
10. At-Tawheed al-Asmaa’ was Sifaat
This is the dedication of the specific and special names and attribute to Allaah (
وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ alone which He (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has given Himself [4]. Two matters are
of utmost importance in this division;
Firstly: Confirmation of the Names and Attributes Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
This is confirming and affirming the Names and Attributes of Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
contained within the Islamic texts of the Qur’an and the Sunnah which Allaah (
وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has confirmed upon Himself.
Secondly: Negation of making any Similitude
This is negating and rejecting any comparison between Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ and
His creation in any of His Names and Attributes since Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has
said,
ﺍ ﻮﻫﻭ ٌﺀﻲﺷ ِﻪِﻠﹾﺜِﻤﹶﻛ ﺲﻴﹶﻟﲑِﺼﺒﺍﻟ ﻊِﻴﻤﺴﻟ
“Nothing is like Him and He is the All-Seeing and the All-Hearing.” [Ash-Shura
11]
The evidence for the two matters is contained in the above ayah when Allaah (
وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ says, ‘and He is the All-Seeing and the All-Hearing’ - this is
confirmation of Allaah’s (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ Attributes of Seeing and Hearing. And
Allaah’s (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ saying, ‘Nothing is like Him’ is evidence for negating any
similitude between Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ and His (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ creation as nothing
is like Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ and Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ is unlike anything.
In the topic of Tawheed al-Asma was Sifaat, there are two misguided groups of
people. The first went upon the way of similitude making similarity between
Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ and His (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ creation saying, ‘Allaah has Hearing
like our hearing and He (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has Sight and Seeing the way we have Sight
and Seeing’. Such are they as well in regards to the other Names and Attributes of
Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ .)ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ The answer to these people is the ayah, ‘Nothing is like Him’.
The second misguided group avoided what the first group fell within regarding
making similitude, however, they are upon the path of negating Allaah’s ( ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
)وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ Names and Attributes through suspending what Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has
confirmed upon Himself and what His (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ Messenger has affirmed in
relation to His (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ Names and Attributes. They say, ‘Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
does not Hear nor See.’ Or they negate the attributes of Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ being
Above and Rising upon His Throne and also negating others from His (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
11. ) Attributes. The answer to these people is the ayah, ‘and He is the All-Seeing and
the All-Hearing’.
The correct position is to believe in Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ,)ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ His Names and
Attributes those that Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has mentioned in His Book i.e. the
Qur’an and those that the Prophet (ﻠﻢ ﺳ و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ )ﺻ had informed us about
without any changing of their meaning (tahreef) or without suspension (ta’teel) or
without to question how His (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ Attributes or what form they take
(takeeyf) nor to make similarity (tamtheel). Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has said, ‘Do you
know anyone one is worthy of the same Name as He?’ [Maryam 65] and Allaah (
وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has said, ‘And there is nothing like unto Him’ [Ikhlaas 112:4]. We
should say, ‘Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has Hearing unlike the hearing of creation and
Sight unlike the seeing of the Creation.’
As-Shirk – Making Partners With Allaah
After making such things clear regarding Tawheed know that the opposite of
Tawheed is Shirk. And Shirk [5] is the association with Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ other
partners to those actions and obligations which are specific to Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ .)ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has spoken about what the Mushrikeen (idolators) will say to
their lords and gods when they are together in the fire,
ِﻲﻔﹶﻟ ﺎﻨﹸﻛ ِﻥﺇ ِﻪﱠﻠﺎﻟﺗٍﲔِﺒﻣ ٍﻝﹶﺎﻠﺿﲔِﻤﹶﻟﺎﻌﹾﻟﺍ ﺏﺮِﺑ ﹸﻢﻜﻳﻮﺴﻧ ﹾﺫِﺇ
“By Allaah, we were truly in an error manifest, When we held you as equals with
the Lord of the Worlds.” [Ash-Shuaraa 26: 97-98]
Shirk has been divided into two division; firstly Shirk Akbar (the greater type of
association with Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ and Shirk Asghar (the lesser type of
association).
The First type of Shirk: Al-Shirk Al-Akbar
This is the type of Shirk if one falls within it, causes them to leave the Millah
(deen) of Islaam. Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ will never forgive such a person except
through sincere repentance. If the perpetrator were to meet Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
with such actions he will fall forever within the Hellfire since Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
has said,
ﺎﺀﺸﻳ ﻦﻤِﻟ ﻚِﻟﹶﺫ ﹶﻥﻭﺩ ﺎﻣ ﺮِﻔﻐﻳﻭ ِﻪِﺑ ﻙﺮﺸﻳ ﹶﻥﺃ ﺮِﻔﻐﻳ ﹶﻻ ﻪﹼﻠﺍﻟ ﱠﻥِﺇ
“Verily Allaah does not forgive those that make partners / associate with Allaah,
12. but He forgives whatever is less than that to whomever He wishes.” [An-Nisa’
4:48]
And Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has said,
ﹶﺔﻨﺠﹾﻟﺍ ِﻪﹶﻴﻠﻋ ﻪﹼﻠﺍﻟ ﻡﺮﺣ ﺪﹶﻘﹶﻓ ِﻪﹼﻠِﺎﻟﺑ ﻙِﺮﺸﻳ ﻦﻣ ﻪﻧِﺇﺭﺎﻨﺍﻟ ﻩﺍﻭﹾﺄﻣﻭ
“Whoever makes partners with Allaah, He will prohibit the paradise for them and
their abode will be the Hellfire.” [Al-Ma’ida 5:72]
Shirk Akbar has numerous types, however, essentially all these types are based
upon the following four divisions;
Shirk Ad-Du’a (associating in Calling upon others besides Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
Those who call upon or invoke anyone else besides Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ,)ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ be they
from the Awliya’ (people close to Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ,))ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ the Saaliheen (good
people) or even the Shuhadaa (martyrs in Allaah’s (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ way) from those
who have passed away, have performed an action that has brought the wrath of
Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ .)ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has mentioned this type of Shirk in the
Holy Qur’an and He (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has said,

“If anyone invokes, besides Allaah, any other god, he has no authority thereafter;
and his reckoning will be only with his Lord! And surely the Unbelievers will have
no success.” [Al-Mu’minoun 117]
Shirk At-Ta’ah (associating in obeying others than Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
This is the obedience to the Rabbis and Priests, the scholars and the rulers in
disobeying what Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has ordered. Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has said,

“They took their Rabbis and their Monks to be their Lords and Legislators besides

worship, obey and follow none but one God/Allaah; none has the right to be
worshipped or followed and to legislate but he, praise and glory be to him from
having the partners they associate with him.” [At-Tauba 9:31]
13. And we have already mentioned the hadith narrated by Adie bin Haatim (ﻲ رﺿ
اﷲ ﮫ )ﻋﻨ regarding this ayah. Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has said,

they would say, ‘Our Lord! We obeyed our chiefs and our great ones, and they
misled us as to the (right) Path.’” [Al-Ahzaab 33:66-67]
And Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has said,

“And no-one has the right to share in His decision.” [al-Kahf 26]
Shirk Al-Mahabbah (associating in loving others with Allaah)
This type of Shirk is the association with Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ others whom the
servant loves the way they love Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ or even more. Allaah ( ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
)وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ says,
ﹰﺍﺍﺩﺪﹶﻧﺃ ِﻪﹼﻠﺍﻟ ِﻥﻭﺩ ِﻦﻣ ﹸﺬِﺨﺘﻳ ﻦﻣ ِﺱﺎﻨﺍﻟ ﻦِﻣﻭﹼﻠﺍﻟ ﺐﺤﹶﻛ ﻢﻬﻧﻮﺒِﺤﻳﺎﺒﺣ ﺪﺷﹶﺃ ﹾﺍﻮﻨﻣﺁ ﻦِﻳﺬﱠﻟﺍﻭ ِﻪ

“Yet there are men who take (for worship) others besides Allaah, as equal (with
Allaah): They love them as they should love Allaah. But those of Faith are
overflowing in their love for Allaah. If only the unrighteous could see, behold, they
would see the penalty: that to Allaah belongs all power, and Allaah will strongly
enforce the penalty." [Baqara 2:165]
Al-Mahabbah (Love) has different levels and types, as Ibn Qayyim has explained,
“And there are four types of Love which one must separate and explain. Those
who have fallen into misguidance are unable to distinguish between them;
“The first division is Mahabat Allaah (Love of Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ .))ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ This type of
love is not sufficient to save oneself from the Hellfire nor from the Punishment of
14. Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ .)ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ It is also not enough to attain the happiness of the reward in
the Here After. This is because the Mushrikeen, the Jews, the worshippers of the
Cross (Christians) amongst others claim this love to Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ .)ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
“The second division is Mahabah Ma Yuhib Allaah (Loving what Allaah ( ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
)وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ loves). This is the type of love which if manifest, makes one enter Islaam
and leave the Kufr (disbelief) darkness they were in. The ones whom Allaah ( ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
)وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ loves are those who establish this love and are definite in it.
“The third division is Al-Hub Lillaah Wa Feehi (The love for Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
and the love for the sake of Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ .))ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ This type of love is necessary
for all those who wish to love Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ .)ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ The love cannot become
complete unless one loves Allaah ( وﺗﻌﺎ ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫﻟﻰ ) and loves for Allaah’s (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
) sake.
“The fourth division is Al-Hub Ma’a Allaah (The love with Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ .))ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
This type of love is the Shirk (associating) type of love. Any person who loves
anything in association to Allaah ( ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫوﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ) and not for Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
exclusively, nor for the sake of Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has made a competitor with
Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ and this is only the love of the Mushrikeen (idolators).”
Shirk Al-Niyyah wal Iraadah wal Qasd
(associating in the intention, wish and goal)
This type of Shirk is the performing of an action for other than the sake of Allaah (
وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ .)ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ states,
ﻦﻣﻢِﻬﻴﹶﻟِﺇ ﻑﻮﻧ ﺎﻬﺘﻨِﻳﺯﻭ ﺎﻴﻧﺪﺍﻟ ﹶﺓﺎﻴﺤﹾﻟﺍ ﺪِﻳﺮﻳ ﹶﻥﹶﺎﻛﻬﹶﻟﺎﻤﻋﹶﺃﹶﻥﻮﺴﺨﺒﻳ ﹶﻻ ﺎﻬِﻴﻓ ﻢﻫﻭ ﺎﻬِﻴﻓ ﻢ#

“Those who desire the life of the present and its glitter, to them we shall pay (the
price of) their deeds therein, without diminution. They are those for whom there is
nothing in the Hereafter but the Fire: vain are the designs they frame therein, and
of no effect and the deeds that they do!” [Houd 15-16]
Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has always said,

“Verily it is We Who have revealed the Book to thee in Truth: so serve Allaah,
offering Him sincere devotion. Is it not to Allaah that sincere devotion is due? But
those who take for protectors other than Allaah (say): ‘We only serve them in
order that they may bring us nearer to Allaah.’ Truly Allaah will judge between
them in that wherein they differ. But Allaah guides not such as are false and
ungrateful.” [Zumar 2-3]
It is reported by Muslim upon the authority of Abu Hurayra (ﮫ ﻋﻨ اﷲ ﻲ )رﺿ that
the Prophet (ﻠﻢ ﺳ و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ )ﺻ said,
ﺗﻌﺎﱃ ُﷲﺍ ﻗﺎﻝ:ِﻱﺮﻴﹶﻏ ِﻪِﻴﻓ ِﻲﻌﻣ ﻙﺮﺷﹶﺃ ﹰﻼﻤﻋ ﹶﻞِﻤﻋ ﻦﻣ ، ِﻙﺮﺸﺍﻟ ﻦﻋ ِﺀﹶﺎﻛﺮﺸﺍﻟ ﻰﻨﹾﻏﹶﺃ ﺎﻧﹶﺃ
ﹶﻪﻛﺮِﺷﻭ ﻪﺘﹾﻛﺮﺗ
“Allaah said, ‘I am the Self-Sufficient, Who does not stand in need of a partner. If
anyone does anything in which he associates anyone else with Me, I shall abandon
him with one whom he associates with Allaah.’”
The Second type of Shirk: Al-Shirk Al-Asghar
This is the type of Shirk that does not take the performer out of the fold of Islaam
and if that person were to meet Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ with such an action, then he is
beneath the Will of Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ,)ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ whether He (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ wishes to
forgive or to punish that person. However, such a person will not reside in the
Hellfire forever as a result of that action; but must be purified from such an action
through torment in the Hellfire for a period. This is because the ruling of Shirk al-
Asghar is one below the ruling for Al-Shirk (Akbar) and Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has
said,
ِﻪِﺑ ﻙﺮﺸﻳ ﹶﻥﺃ ﺮِﻔﻐﻳ ﹶﻻ ﻪﹼﻠﺍﻟ ﱠﻥِﺇﺎﺀﺸﻳ ﻦﻤِﻟ ﻚِﻟﹶﺫ ﹶﻥﻭﺩ ﺎﻣ ﺮِﻔﻐﻳﻭ
“Verily Allaah does not forgive those that make partners / associate with Allaah,
but He forgives whatever is less than that to whomever He wishes.” [An-Nisa’
4:48]
Shirk Asghar has numerous forms and types, however for brevity we will only
recount four aspects of it;
16. Showing Off
It is reported by Imaam Ahmed amongst others with a good chain of narrators that
the Prophet (ﻠﻢ ﺳ و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ )ﺻ said,
ﻓﻘﺎﻝ ﻋﻨﻪ ﺌﻞﺴﻓ ﺍﻷﺻﻐﺮ ﺍﻟﺸﺮﻙ ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ ﺃﺧﺎﻑ ﻣﺎ ﺃﺧﻮﻑ:ﺍﻟﺮﻳﺎﺀ
“’I fear for you from Shirk al-Asghar (minor form of association)’ They (the
Sahabah) asked about it and he (ﻠﻢ ﺳ و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ )ﺻ replied, ‘Showing off.’”
And it is reported by Ibn Hibban in his Saheeh that the Prophet (و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ ﺻ
ﻠﻢ )ﺳ said,
ﺍﻟﺸﺮﻙﰲﻗﺎﻟﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻨﻤﻠﺔ ﺩﺑﻴﺐ ﻣﻦ ﺃﺧﻔﻰ ﺍﻷﻣﺔ ﻫﺬﻩ:ﺍﷲ؟ ﺭﺳﻮﻝ ﻳﺎ ﻣﻨﻪ ﻧﻨﺠﻮ ﻛﻴﻒﻗﺎﻝ:
ﺃﻋﻠﻢ ﻻ ﳌﺎ ﻭﺃﺳﺘﻐﻔﺮﻙ ، ﺃﻋﻠﻢ ﻭﺃﻧﺎ ﺑﻚ ﹸﺷﺮﻙﺃ ﺃﻥ ﺑﻚ ﺃﻋﻮﺫ ﺇﱐ ﺍﻟﻠﻬﻢ ﻗﻞ
“’Shirk in the Muslim nation is more inconspicuous then the creeping of black
ant.’ They asked, ‘How can we be saved from it?’ He (ﻠﻢ ﺳ و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ )ﺻ said,
‘Say: O Allaah! I take your refuge for that I should ascribe any partner with you,
being conscious of that, and I beg Your pardon for associating with you in what I
am not aware of.’”
Making an Oath by other than Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
If one makes an oath by other than Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ but in doing so does not
mean that the thing being sworn by is as great as Allah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ,)ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ then this is
Shirk al-Asghar. However, if one swears by an object, person or thing and believes
that this object is on an equal footing as Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ then this becomes al-
Shirk al-Akbar and takes one outside of Islaam.
It is reported in Tirmidhi, Abu Dawood and by Imaam Ahmed on the authority of
Ibn Omar (ﻦ ﻋ اﷲ ﻲ )هرﺿ that the Prophet (ﻠﻢ ﺳ و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ )ﺻ said,
ﺃﺷﺮﻙ ﺃﻭ ﻛﻔﺮ ﻓﻘﺪ ﺍﷲ ﺑﻐﲑ ﺣﻠﻒ ﻣﻦ
“Whoever takes an oath by other than Allaah has performed Kufr or Shirk”
17. Saying to another Person: ‘Whatever Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ wished and what
you wished’
If something befalls a person that is beneficial as a result of the effort of another
person, and then one says to the other, ‘This is because of what Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
) wished and what you wished,’ or if they say, ‘This is from Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
and from you,’ or ‘I am still alive because of Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ and you,’ or if
they were to say, ‘If I wasn’t for Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ or for you such and such
would not have happened,’ this is all al-Shirk al-Asghar if the person believes that
Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ was al-Qaadir (Mighty and in charge) alone over all things.
However, if he really believes that such a person can compete or assist with Allaah
(وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ in His (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ Disposition of the Affairs or in His (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
Will and Desire, then that is al-Shirk al-Akbar and takes one out of Islaam.
The evidence for this is what has been confirmed in Sunan Ibn Maajah and an-
Nisa’i that a person came to the Prophet (ﻠﻢ ﺳ و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ )ﺻ and said,
ﹶﻝﻗﺎ ، ﺖﹾﺌِﺷﻭ ُﷲﺍ َﺀﺎﺷ ﺎﻣ:ﻩﺪﺣﻭ ُﷲﺍ َﺀﺎﺷ ﺎﻣ ﹾﻞﺑ ﺍ؟ﺪِﻧ ِﷲ ِﻲﻨﺘﹾﻠﻌﺟﹶﺃ
“’Whatever Allaah and you wished,’ He (ﻠﻢ ﺳ و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ )ﺻ replied, ‘Do you
set me up as a competitor with Allaah? You should say, ‘Whatever Allaah Wishes
alone.’”
And it is reported in Sunan Abu Dawood by a complete and correct chain of
narrators on the authority of Huzaifah that the Prophet (ﻠﻢ ﺳ و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ )ﺻ
said,
ﹸﻮﺍﻟﹸﻮﻘﺗ ﹶﻻ:ﹸﻮﺍﻟﹸﻮﻗ ﻦِﻜﹶﻟﻭ ،ﹲﻥﹶﻼﹸﻓ َﺀﺎﺷﻭ ُﷲﺍ َﺀﺎﺷ ﺎﻣ:ﹲﻥﹶﻼﹸﻓ َﺀﺎﺷ ﻢﹸﺛ ُﷲﺍ َﺀﺎﺷ ﺎﻣ
“Do not say, ‘Whatever Allaah and so-and-so person wished.’ Say, ‘Whatever
Allaah Wished and then whatever so-and-so person wished.’”
There is no doubt that if one were to say, ‘Whatever Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ Wishes
alone,’ then that is the most complete, sincere and is distant from performing Shirk
and setting up partners with Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ .)ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
Wearing Rings and Amulets
If one were to wear such rings and amulets as forms of protection and did not
believe that they benefited or prevented harm by themselves nor could not help
except by the Will and Help of Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ then this is Shirk al-Asghar.
However, if the bearer of such amulets believed that they could bring about benefit
without Allaah’s (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ Leave or believed that they could help in addition to
18. Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ then this is Shirk al-Akbar, the type that takes one out of
Islaam; this is because they believe that such an object can cause benefit or harm
without Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ .)ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
If the bearer of such rings and amulets believed that such objects were a cause for
help or a way to gain protection and that they could not provide such benefits by
themselves, then such person is performing Shirk Asghar; this is because he is
taking such objects which have no decision, might nor is a valid Islamic solution
or form of protection.
The evidence for this is what is reported on the authority of ‘Umraan bin Husayn
by Imaam Ahmed that the Prophet (ﻠﻢ ﺳ و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ )ﺻ saw a man carrying in
his hand an amulet made from gold and he (ﻠﻢ ﺳ و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ )ﺻ inquired,
ﹲﺔﹶﻘﹾﻠﺣ ِﻩِﺪﻳ ِﻲﻓ ﹰﻼﺟﺭ ﹶﻯﺃﺭ ﻲِﺒﻨﺍﻟ ﱠﻥﹶﺃﹶﻝﹶﺎﻘﹶﻓ ، ٍﺮﹾﻔﺻ ﻦِﻣ:ﹶﻝﹶﺎﻗ ؟ ِﻩِﺬﻫ ﺎﻣ:ﹶﻝﹶﺎﻘﹶﻓ ، ِﺔﻨِﻫﺍﻮﹾﻟﺍ ﻦِﻣ:

“’What is that?’ He replied, ‘Something to protect me from weakness.’ The
Prophet (ﻠﻢ ﺳ و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ )ﺻ said, ‘Cast it off, for verily, it would only increase
your weakness. And if you die with it on, you will never succeed.’”
And it is also reported by Ibn Masoud (ﮫ ﻋﻨ اﷲ ﻲ )رﺿ in Musnad Imaam Ahmed
and Sunan Abu Dawood that the Prophet (ﻠﻢ ﺳ و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ )ﺻ said,
ﺷﺮﻙ ﻭﺍﻟﺘﻮﻟﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺘﻤﺎﺋﻢ ﺍﻟﺮﻗﻰ ﺇﻥ
“Charms, Amulets and Spells are acts of Shirk”
Al-Islaam, Emaan And Ihsaan

“One day we were sitting in the company of Allaah’s Apostle (و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ ﺻ
ﻠﻢ )ﺳ when there appeared before us a man dressed in pure white clothes, his hair
extraordinarily black. There were no signs of travel on him. None amongst us
recognized him.
At last he sat with the Apostle (ﻠﻢ ﺳ و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ .)ﺻ He knelt before him placed
his palms on his thighs and said: ‘O Muhammad (ﻠﻢ ﺳ و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ !)ﺻ inform
me about al-Islaam’. The Messenger of Allaah (و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ ﺻ ﻠﻢ )ﺳ said: ‘Al-
Islam implies that you testify that there is no god but Allaah and that Muhammad
is the messenger of Allaah, and you establish prayer, pay Zakat, observe the fast of
Ramadan, and perform pilgrimage to the (House) if you are solvent enough (to
bear the expense of) the journey’. He (the inquirer) said: ‘You have told the truth’.
He (Umar ibn al-Khattab) said: It amazed us that he would put the question and
then he would himself verify the truth. He (the inquirer) said: ‘Inform me about
Iman (faith). He (the Holy Prophet) replied: That you affirm your faith in Allaah,
in His angels, in His Books, in His Apostles, in the Day of Judgment, and you
affirm your faith in the Divine Decree about good and evil’. He (the inquirer) said:
‘You have told the truth’.
He (the inquirer) again said: ‘Inform me about al-Ihsan (performance of good
deeds)’. He (the Holy Prophet) said: ‘That you worship Allaah as if you are seeing
Him, for though you don’t see Him, He, verily, sees you’. He (the enquirer) again
said: ‘Inform me about the hour (of the Doom)’. He (the Holy Prophet) remarked:
‘One who is asked knows no more than the one who is inquiring (about it)’. He
(the inquirer) said: ‘Tell me some of its indications’. He (the Holy Prophet) said:
‘That the slave-girl will give birth to her mistress and master, that you will find
barefooted, destitute goat-herds vying with one another in the construction of
magnificent buildings’.
He (the narrator, Umar ibn al-Khattab) said: Then he (the inquirer) went on his
20. way but I stayed with him (the Holy Prophet) for a long while. He then, said to
me: ‘Umar, do you know who this inquirer was?’ I replied: ‘Allaah and His
Apostle knows best’. He (the Holy Prophet) remarked: ‘He was Gabriel (the
angel). He came to you in order to instruct you in matters of religion.
Emaan And It’s Negations
According to the scholars of Ahl Sunnah, emaan includes the belief in the heart,
the speech and words by the tongue and the action of the limbs. It increases by
obedience to Allaah ( ﺳﺒﺤوﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ﺎﻧﮫ ) and decreases by disobedience to Allaah ( ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
)وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ [6]. The evidence for such is the saying of the Prophet (و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ ﺻ
ﻠﻢ )ﺳ as recorded in Saheeh Muslim,
ﺇﻣﺎ ﻭﺃﺩﻧﺎﻫﺎ ، ﺍﷲ ﺇﻻ ﺇﻟﻪ ﻻ ﻗﻮﻝ ﻓﺄﻓﻀﻠﻬﺎ ﺷﻌﺒﺔ ﻭﺳﺘﻮﻥ ﺑﻀﻊ ﺃﻭ ﻭﺳﺒﻌﻮﻥ ﺑﻀﻊ ﺍﻹﳝﺎﻥﻃﺔ
ﺍﻹﳝﺎﻥ ﻣﻦ ﹲﺔﻌﺒﺷ ُﺀﻭﺍﳊﻴﺎ ، ﺍﻟﻄﺮﻳﻖ ﻋﻦ ﺍﻷﺫﻯ
“Emaan has more than seventy odd branches of which the most important is the
recitation of Kalimah (Laa ilaha illAllaah) ‘There is no one worthy of worship but
Allaah’, and the least one is to remove some obstacle from the way; and modesty
also is a part of Imaan.”
In the above explanation about what emaan is, the Prophet (ﻠﻢ ﺳ و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ )ﺻ
included the saying of the Shahadah (testification of faith), and this is an evidence
to including sayings as part of emaan. In addition, the Prophet (و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ ﺻ
ﻠﻢ )ﺳ mentioned the removing of any obstacle from the pathway as being included
in the definition of emaan, and this is an evidence to include actions as part of
emaan.
The Prophet (ﻠﻢ ﺳ و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ )ﺻ is also recorded in Saheeh Muslim as saying,

“Whoever sees a Munkar (evil thing) change it by his hand and if he is unable to
then change it by his tongue (i.e. speak against it). If he is unable to do so then
hate it in his heart and that is the weakest part of emaan.”
The evidence that emaan increases and decreases can be found in the Words of
Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ when He (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has said,
21. ﱠﻟﺍ ﻮﻫﻢِﻬِﻧﺎﳝِﺇ ﻊﻣ ﺎﻧﺎﳝِﺇ ﻭﺍﺩﺍﺩﺰﻴِﻟ ﲔِﻨِﻣﺆﻤﹾﻟﺍ ِﺏﹸﻮﻠﹸﻗ ِﻲﻓ ﹶﺔﻨِﻴﻜﺴﺍﻟ ﹶﻝﺰﹶﻧﺃ ِﻱﺬ
“It is He who sent down tranquility into the hearts of the Believers, that they may
increase faith to their emaan.”
And He (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has said,
ﹶﺫِﺇﻭﺍﻪﺗﺩﺍﺯ ﻢﹸﻜﻳﹶﺃ ﹸﻝﹸﻮﻘﻳ ﻦﻣ ﻢﻬﻨِﻤﹶﻓ ﹲﺓﺭﻮﺳ ﺖﹶﻟِﺰﹸﻧﺃ ﺎﻣﻢﻬﺗﺩﺍﺰﹶﻓ ﹾﺍﻮﻨﻣﺁ ﻦِﻳﺬﱠﻟﺍ ﺎﻣﹶﺄﹶﻓ ﺎﻧﺎﳝِﺇ ِﻩِﺬـﻫ
ﺎﻧﺎﳝِﺇﹶﻥﻭﺮِﺸﺒﺘﺴﻳ ﻢﻫﻭ
“Whenever there comes down a surah (verses or chapter from the Qur’an), some
of them say, "Which of you has had his emaan increased by it?’ Those who
believe, their emaan is increased and they do rejoice.”
Consequently, when one confirms that emaan can increase one must naturally
believe the opposite i.e. that it can also decrease since for it to increase from one
level to another it is going from a level of emaan that was lower to a level that is
higher. Additional evidence to support that emaan decreases is the hadith recorded
in Saheeh Muslim that the Prophet (ﻠﻢ ﺳ و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ )ﺻ said,
ﻣﻨﻜﻦ ﻟﺐ ﻟﺬﻱ ﺃﻏﻠﺐ ﻭﺩﻳﻦ ﻋﻘﻞ ﻧﺎﻗﺼﺎﺕ ﻣﻦ ﺭﺃﻳﺖ ﻣﺎ
Indeed, Ahl Sunnah wal Jama’ah takes the central position between the two
misguided sects; the first is the Khawaarij and the second is the Murji’ah.
The Khawaarij exaggerated regarding the topic of emaan as they would make
takfeer (ex-communication) upon a person who performed a sin. Consequently,
they would declare those who do zina (adultery), steal, whoever drinks alcohol and
performs other such evil actions as murtadeen (apostates). It has been reported that
these Khawaarij would leave the deen of Islaam easily and would be the dogs of
the fire and they are the worst of creation; we ask Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ peace and
safety from them.
The Murji’ah are those who believe that the actions are not part of emaan and
consequently they do not make takfeer (i.e. calling someone a disbeliever) upon a
person except if they accept it by their heart. They do not make takfeer upon the
one who prostrates to an idol or the one who asks help from other than Allaah (
وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ nor to the one who curses or swears upon Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ or His (
وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ Messenger (ﻠﻢ ﺳ و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ .)ﺻ They only see Kufr (disbelief) if
the heart alone rejects the truth; we ask Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ peace and safety from
them.
22. Both of the two above groups are upon misguidance and innovation; we seek
refuge with Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ from such. The root cause of their
misunderstanding is their viewing emaan as a single unit. If part of it is removed
then all of it is vanished and if some of it is confirmed then all of it is confirmed.
When they say that emaan increases and decreases what they mean is that some of
the emaan can go whilst the other part remains.
Whereas, Ahl Sunnah are in agreement that a person cannot be called a Kaafir
(disbeliever) for falling into sin. However, if they fall within one of the negations
of emaan, those actions which have been reported to us by the Shari’ah texts, in so
doing they will leave the fold of Islaam.
The Negations of Emaan and Islaam
The first and most prominent action that takes one outside the fold of Islaam is
performing al-Shirk (associating with Allaah ( وﺗ ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫﻌﺎﻟﻰ ) any partner). For
example for a person to call out and seek help to other than Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ,)ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
or to sacrifice livestock for other than Him (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ .)ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ Whosoever performs
other such Ibaadaat (ritual actions) for other than His ( وﺗ ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫﻌﺎﻟﻰ ) sake has
committed Kufr (disbelief). Those who call upon Ali (ﮫ ﻋﻨ اﷲ ﻲ ,)رﺿ al-Badowie,
Abdul Qaadir al-Jaylaani or others, or those who call upon the trees, the stones, the
Angels or even the Prophets (ﻼم اﻟﺴ ﮫ )ﻋﻠﯿ have performed acts of Kufr (disbelief).
Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has said,
ﺎﺀﺸﻳ ﻦﻤِﻟ ﻚِﻟﹶﺫ ﹶﻥﻭﺩ ﺎﻣ ﺮِﻔﻐﻳﻭ ِﻪِﺑ ﻙﺮﺸﻳ ﹶﻥﺃ ﺮِﻔﻐﻳ ﹶﻻ ﻪﹼﻠﺍﻟ ﱠﻥِﺇ
“Verily Allaah does not forgive those that make partners / associate with Allaah ,
but He forgives whatever is less than that to whomever He wishes.” [An-Nisa’
4:48]
And it is reported in Saheeh Muslim upon the authority of Jaabir bin Abdullah
(ﮫ ﻋﻨ اﷲ ﻲ )رﺿ that the Prophet (ﻠﻢ ﺳ و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ )ﺻ said,
ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺭ ﺩﺧﻞ ﹰﺎﺷﻴﺌ ﺑﻪ ﻳﺸﺮﻙ ﻟﻘﻴﻪ ﻭﻣﻦ ، ﺍﳉﻨﺔ ﺩﺧﻞ ﹰﺎﺷﻴﺌ ﺑﻪ ﻳﺸﺮﻙ ﻻ ﺍﷲ ﻟﻘﻲ ﻣﻦ
“Whoever meets Allaah without ascribing any partners with Him will enter
Paradise. And whosoever meets Allaah ascribing partners with Him in any matter
will enter the Hellfire.”
23. Another of the negations of emaan is the performing of al-Sihr (magic). This is
because Allaah )وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ( said,
ﻮﺍﻌﺒّﺗﺍﻭ ﺮﹶﻔﹶﻛ ﺎﻣﻭ ﹶﻥﺎﻤﻴﹶﻠﺳ ِﻚﹾﻠﻣ ﹶﻰﻠﻋ ﲔِﻃﺎﻴّﺸﺍﻟ ﹸﻮﻠﺘﺗ ﺎﻣ ﻭﺍﺮﹶﻔﹶﻛ ﲔِﻃﺎﻴّﺸﺍﻟ ّﻦِﻜﹶﻟﻭ ﹸﻥﺎﻤﻴﹶﻠﺳ

“They followed what the Shayateen gave out (falsely) against the power of
Solomon: the Kuffar (disbelievers) were not Solomon, but the Shayateen who
taught men magic, and such things as came down at Babylon to the angels Harut
and Marut. But neither of these taught anyone (Such things) without saying: ‘We
are only for trial; so do not become Kaafir (disbelievers).’ They learned from them
the means to sow discord between man and wife. But they could not thus harm
anyone except by Allaah's permission. And they learned what harmed them, not
what profited them. And they knew that the buyers of (magic) would have no share
in the happiness of the Hereafter. And vile was the price for which they did sell
their souls, if they but knew!” [2:102]
Another negation of Islaam is Al-Istihza’ (mocking). This could be deriding Allaah
(وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ,)ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ or His Prophets, His Deen of Islaam or even by mocking any single
of it’s Hukm (rule) or Shi’aar (rituals like fasting, Hajj, Salaah etc). Allaah ( ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
)وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ has said,

“The Hypocrites are afraid incase a Surah (chapter from the Qur’an) should be
sent down about them, showing them what is (really) in their hearts. Say, ‘Mock
you!’ But verily Allaah will bring to light all that ye fear (should be revealed). If
thou dost question them, they declare (with emphasis): "We were only talking idly
and in play.’ Say, ‘Was it at Allaah, and His Signs, and His Messenger, that you
24. were mocking?’ Make no excuse! you have rejected emaan after you had accepted
it. If We pardon some of you, We will punish others amongst you, for that they are
the sinners.” [Tauba 9:64-66]
Another one of the negations of Imaan is to show one’s support and friendship to
the Jews, Christians or to the Mushrikeen (idolators) over and above the Muslims
this may take the form of allying with a Kaafir to fight or target another Muslim.
Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ says,

“O you who believe! Do not take the Jews and Christians as awliya (friends,
protectors) since they are only awliya to one another. Whosoever allies with them
from amongst you he is one of them. Verily Allaah does not guide an oppressive
nation.” [al-Maida 5:51]
Emaan In The Ghayb (Unseen)
It is part of the ‘Aqeedah of Ahl Sunnah wal Jama’ah to have emaan in everything
that is reported by Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ and His (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ Messenger (ﻠﻰ ﺻ
ﻞ ﺳ و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ )اﷲ if is confirmed to be Saheeh (correct). This applies to all matters
however, more so in belief matters pertaining to the Ghayb (unseen). Allaah ( ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ
)وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ has said,
ﺆﻳ ﻦِﻳﺬﱠﻟﺍﹶﻥﹸﻮﻘِﻔﻨﻳ ﻢﻫﺎﻨﹾﻗﺯﺭ ﺎﻤِﻣﻭ ﹶﺓﻼﺼﺍﻟ ﹶﻥﻮﻤِﻴﻘﻳﻭ ِﺐﻴﻐﹾﻟِﺎﺑ ﹶﻥﻮﻨِﻣ
“Who believe in the Unseen, are steadfast in prayer, and spend out of what We
have provided for them”
Imaam Bukhaari has reported in his Saheeh on the authority of Ibn ‘Umar that the
Prophet (ﻠﻢ ﺳ و ﮫ ﻋﻠﯿ اﷲ ﻠﻰ )ﺻ said,
ﻣﻔﺎﺗﻴﺢِﺔﻋﺎﺴﺍﻟ ﻢﹾﻠِﻋ ﻩﺪِﻨﻋ ﻪﱠﻠﺍﻟ ﱠﻥِﺇ ﺍﷲ ﺇﻻ ﻦﻳﻌﻠﻤﻬ ﻻ ﺲﲬ ﺍﻟﻐﻴﺐﺎﻣ ﻢﹶﻠﻌﻳﻭ ﹶﺚﻴﻐﹾﻟﺍ ﹸﻝﺰﻨﻳﻭ

25. "Keys of the unseen knowledge are five which nobody knows but Allaah; 'Verily
the knowledge of the Hour is with Allaah (alone). It is He Who sends down rain,
and He Who knows what is in the wombs. Nor does any one know what it is that he
will earn on the morrow: Nor does any one know in what land he is to die. Verily
with Allaah is full knowledge and He is acquainted (with all things).'” [Luqman
31:34]
And from the examples of the Unseen include believing in Al-‘Arsh (the Throne of
Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ))ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ and Al-Kursi (the Chair). Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has said,
ﻮﻫﻭﹶﻥﹶﺎﻛﻭ ٍﻡﺎﻳﹶﺃ ِﺔﺘِﺳ ِﻲﻓ ﺽﺭَﻷﺍﻭ ِﺕﺍﻭﺎﻤﺴﺍﻟ ﹶﻖﻠﺧ ِﻱﺬﱠﻟﺍﻢﹸﻜﻳﹶﺃ ﻢﹸﻛﻮﹸﻠﺒﻴِﻟ ﺎﺀﻤﹾﻟﺍ ﹶﻰﻠﻋ ﻪﺷﺮﻋ

“He it is who created the heavens and the earth in six Days - and His Throne was
over the waters - that He might test you, which of you is best in conduct. But if you
were to say to them, ‘You shall indeed be raised up after death’, the Unbelievers
would be sure to say, ‘This is nothing but obvious sorcery!’” [Hud 11:7]
And Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ has said,
ﺽﺭَﻷﺍﻭ ِﺕﺍﻭﺎﻤﺴﺍﻟ ﻪﻴِﺳﺮﹸﻛ ﻊِﺳﻭ
“His Throne does extend over the heavens and the earth” [Al-Baqara 2:255]
Other examples of belief matters pertaining to the Unseen include the Punishment
and Blessings in the grave and the questioning of the servants by the two Angels
therein. Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ says,
ِﺕﹶﺎﺌﻴﺳ ﻪﱠﻠﺍﻟ ﻩﹶﺎﻗﻮﹶﻓِﺏﹶﺍﺬﻌﹾﻟﺍ ُﺀﻮﺳ ﹶﻥﻮﻋﺮِﻓ ِﻝِﺂﺑ ﻕﺎﺣﻭ ﻭﺍﺮﹶﻜﻣ ﺎﻣﺭﺎﻨﺍﻟﹰﺍﻭﺪﹸﻏ ﺎﻬﻴﹶﻠﻋ ﹶﻥﻮﺿﺮﻌﻳ

“Then Allaah saved him from (every) ill that they plotted (against him), but the
burnt of the Penalty encompassed on all sides the People of Pharaoh. In front of
the Fire will they be brought, morning and evening: And (the sentence will be) on
the Day that Judgment will be established, ‘Cast you the People of Pharaoh into
the severest Penalty!’” [Al-Ghaafir 40: 45-46]
And Allaah (وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ )ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﮫ also says,
