This document discusses the key beliefs and principles of Islam according to the Quran and Hadith. It defines monotheism as believing that Allah alone is the one true God and creator of all things. The five pillars of Islam are identified as the Shahadah (declaration of faith), Salah (prayer), Zakat (charity), Sawm (fasting during Ramadan), and Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca). Faith or Iman is defined as believing in Allah, angels, holy books, prophets, destiny, and the afterlife. Al-Ihsan is worshipping Allah as if you can see Him at all times.
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.
These are simple words, which contain a clarification of how we worship Allāh in matters related to Aslud-dīn , which a person’s Islām cannot be correct without. I wrote it as a shortened and summarized version, so that it would be a support to the Muwahhidūn (Islāmic monotheists), a jewel for close friends (of Allāh) and the believers, and an equipment for them in the call towards this religion.
This document contains 30 nominal sentences summarizing Islamic teachings from various Hadith sources. The sentences cover topics like the essence of religion, worship, faith, character, dealings in trade, signs of hypocrisy, major sins, righteousness, and manners being a reflection of one's faith in God.

A. worshipping Allah alone Who has no partner, not to take other deities rather than
Allah; not to worship the angels, the prophets, the righteous, the stones or the
trees. This is revealed in His words: {And We did not send any Messenger before
you (O Muhammad) but We revealed to him (saying): Lâ ilâha illa Ana [none has
the right to be worshipped but I (Allâh)], so worship Me (Alone and none else).»}
[Surat Al-Anbiyâ‘ 21:25]

Q14. what has Allah sent Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
with?
Q15. what is the difference between the Unity of Lordship and the Unity of Worship?
A. the Unity of Lordship is the act of the Lord, such as the creation, sustenance,
giving life and death, bringing rain, planting, and the management of matters. And
the Unity of worship is the act of the slave of Allah, such as invocation, fear, hope
and trust, and turning to Him, desire, and dread, and vows, and distress, and other
types of worship.
Q16. what are the types of worship due only to Allah?
A. they are: supplication, asking for help and support, offering sacrifices and vows,
fear and hope, and trust and turning to Allah in repentance, love, desire and dread,
and apotheosis, bowing and prostrating, reverence, humbling, and veneration which
is one of the characteristics of divinity.
Q17. what is the greatest command by Allah? And what is His greatest forbidden
thing?
A. the greatest command of Allah is the unification of Him by worship, and the
greatest forbidden thing is to set up partners with Him, which is that to invoke other
than Him, or to intend other types of worship to other than Him. Whoever performs
any types of worship to other than Allah, then he has taken him a lord and a god,
and associates Him with others, or means other types of worship to him.
Q18. what are the three issues that we should learn and act accordingly?
A. the first: that Allah has created us and has provided for us, He has not left us
being neglected; He has sent a Messenger for us, he who obeys him will enter Para-
dise and he who disobeys him will enter Hellfire.
The second: that Allah does not approve that anyone be associated in worship with
Him; neither a close angle nor a sent prophet.
The third: that whoever obeys the Messenger and believes in monotheism should
not make friendship with those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, even if they
were the closest relatives.
Q19. what is the meaning of Allah?
9. www.en.wathakker.netwww.en.wathakker.net
9
A. it means the Divine and the worshipped by all His creatures.
Q20. for what purpose has Allah created you?
A. for worshipping Him.
Q21. what is worshipping Him?
A. believing in his monotheism and obeying Him.
Q22. what is the evidence to this?
A. the words of Allah Almighty: {And I (Allâh) created not the jinn and mankind ex-
cept that they should worship Me (Alone).} [Surat Az-Zâriyât 51:56]

Q23. what is the first thing Allah has ordained upon us?
A. the words of Allah Almighty: {There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the Right
Path has become distinct from the wrong path. Whoever disbelieves in Tâghût and
believes in Allâh, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never
break. And Allâh is All-Hearer, All-Knower.} [Surat Al-Baqarah 2:256]

Q24. what is ‘the most trustworthy handhold’?
A. it is: there is no god but Allah. ‘There is no god’ is negation. ‘But Allah’ is affirma-
tion.
Q25. what is the negation and the affirmation here?
10. www.en.wathakker.net
10
A. it is the negation of anything to be worshipped other than Allah, and it is the af-
firmation of worshipping Allah Alone Who has no partners.
Q26. what is the evidence to this?
A. the evidence for negation is the words of Allah Almighty: {And (remember) when
Ibrâhîm (Abraham) said to his father and his people: Verily, I am innocent of what
you worship,} [Surat Az-Zukhruf 43:26],
]26 :[الزخرف } َون ُدُبْعَت ا َّمِّم اءَرَب يِنَّنِإ ِهِمْوَقَو ِيهِبَِلأ ُيم ِاهَرْبِإ َالَق ْذِإَو{
Transliteration: Waith qala ibraheemu liabeehi waqawmihi innanee baraon mimma

Transliteration: Illa allathee fataranee
Q27. how many Tâgûts are there?
A. there are many Tâgûts, the heads of which are five: Satan, may it be cursed
by Allah; whoever being worshipped other than Allah, and he is pleased with that;
whoever call people for worshipping him; whoever claims knowledge of the unseen;
whoever judges with what Allah has not revealed.
Q28. what are the best deeds after the two testimonies (i.e testifying that there is
no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah)?
A. the best of deeds are the five obligatory prayers. They have stipulations, pillars
and obligations. The greatest of their stipulations are: Islam, sanity and being of
age, purity from hadeth (by wudu, tayammum, ghusl), clean clothes, body, place of
prostration, covering the awrah, facing the qibla, with the chest facing the direction
of the Ka‘ba, confidence of the time of prayer, and the intention.
The pillars of prayers are fourteen. They are: standing with the ability to stand, the
first takbeer (saying: Allah-u-akbar (Allah is the greatest)), reciting Surat Al-Fâtihah,
bowing and erecting from bowing, prostrating on the seven organs (the two hands,
feet, knees and the forehead), and erecting sitting from it, sitting between the two
11. www.en.wathakker.netwww.en.wathakker.net
11
prostrations, tranquility while performing these pillars, the correct arrangement of
the pillars, the final Tashahhud, sitting for the Tashahhud, saying: peace and bless-
ing of Allah be upon the Prophet, and the Taslîm (saying: assalamu ‘alaykum wa
rahmatu Allah: peace and mercy of Allah be upon you).
The obligations of prayers are eight. They are: all the Takbîrs except for the first
one, saying: Subhana Rabya Al-‘Atheem (Glory be to my Lord the Great) while
kneeling, saying: Sami’a Allahu Liman Hamidah (May Allah answer he who praises
Him) by the Imam and the individual, saying: Rabana walaka Al-Hamd (O Lord, All
praise is due to you) by the Imam and the one praying after him and the individual,
saying: Subhan Rabya Al-A’la (Praise be to my lord The Most High) while prostrat-
ing, saying: Rabi Ighfir lee (O my Lord forgive me) between the two prostrations,
reading the first Tashahhud and sitting for it. Except for the previous, it is from the
Sunnah, whether words or deeds.
Q29. Does Allah resurrect people after death? Does He call people to account for
their deeds whether good or evil? Those who obeyed Him enter Paradise? Those
who disbelieved in Him and associated others with Him enter Hell?
A. yes. The evidence is the words of Allah almighty: {The disbelievers pretend that
they will never be resurrected (for the Account). Say (O Muhammad): Yes! By my
Lord, you will certainly be resurrected, then you will be informed of (and recom-
pensed for) what you did; and that is easy for Allâh.} [Surat At-Taghâbun :7].

Q30. what is the ruling of someone who offers a slaughter for other than Allah?
A. the ruling is that he is a disbeliever and apostate whose sacrifice is not permis-
sible to be eaten from; because it meets two objections:
The first: it is the sacrifice of an apostate which is unanimously impermissible,
The second: it is slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than Allah which Allah has
forbidden in His words: {Say (O Muhammad): “I find not in that which has been
revealed to me anything forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it, unless
it be Maitah (a dead animal) or blood poured forth (by slaughtering or the like), or
the flesh of swine (pork); for that surely is impure or impious (unlawful) meat (of an
animal) which is slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than Allâh (or has been slaugh-
tered for idols, or on which Allâh’s Name has not been mentioned while slaughter-
ing).} [Surat Al-An’âm 6:145]

Q31. what are the types of Polytheism (setting up partners (in worship) with Allah)?
A. they are: invoking the dead and asking them for help and guidance; which is the
Polytheism of the world. The work of the dead has ceased; he has no power either
for benefit or for harm to himself not to mention to those who ask for his help and
sought for his intercession to Allah. This is because of his ignorance of both the
intercessor and the interceded to. Allah almighty does not allow anyone to intercede
with Him except with His Permission. Allah has not made asking others than Him a
means of His permission; the perfection of His unification is the means of His per-
mission. So this polytheist has come with a reason to prevent His permission.
Polytheism is two kinds: the greater Polytheism which expels from the pale of Islam,
and the smaller Polytheism which does not expel from the pale of Islam as the Poly-
theism of hypocrisy.
Q32. what are the types of hypocrisy? And what is its meaning?
A. Hypocrisy has two types: hypocrisy in the doctrine and hypocrisy in practice.
13. www.en.wathakker.netwww.en.wathakker.net
13
Hypocrisy in the doctrine is mentioned in many places in the Quran where Allah Al-
mighty has ordained for the hypocrites the lowest depth (grade) of the Fire.
Hypocrisy in practice is mentioned in the Hadith of the Prophet, peace and bless-
ings of Allah be upon him: “Whoever has the following four (characteristics) will be
a pure hypocrite and whoever has one of the following four characteristics will have
one characteristic of hypocrisy unless and until he gives it up. Whenever he speaks,
he tells a lie. Whenever he makes a covenant, he proves treacherous. Whenever he
quarrels, he behaves in a very imprudent, evil and insulting manner. And whenever
he is entrusted, he betrays.” [Reported by Al-Bukhari]
النفاق من خصلة فيه كانت منهن خصلة فيه كانت ومن ، خالصا منافقا كان فيه كن من «أربع
البخاري » فجررواه خاصم وإذا ، غدر عاهد وإذا ، كذب حدث وإذا ، خان اؤتمن إذا :يدعها حتى
And as in his words, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him: “The signs of a
hypocrite are three. Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie. Whenever he promises, he
always breaks it (his promise). If you trust him, he proves to be dishonest. (If you
keep something as a trust with him, he will not return it.)” [Agreed upon]
عليه متفق »خان اؤتمن وإذا ، أخلف وعد وإذا ، كذب حدث إذا :ثالث المنافق «آية
Some virtuous people said: this type of hypocrisy may meet with the origin of Islam;
but if it increased excessively its owner will be totally detached from the pale of Is-
lam even if he performed prayers and observed fasting and proclaimed that he is a
Muslim. Faith forbids these characteristics, which if complemented by the slave, and
that he did not have what would prohibit him from any of them, he would not only
be but a pure hypocrite.
Q33. what is the second rank of Islam?
A. it is faith.
Q34. how many branches of faith are there?
A. some seventy branches; the most excellent of which is the declaration that ‘there
is no god but Allah’ and the humblest of which is the removal of what is injurious
from the road, and modesty is a branch of faith.
Q35. how many pillars of faith are there?
14. www.en.wathakker.net
14
A. six: To believe in Allah, His angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Last Day, and
to believe in the Divine destiny whether good or evil.
Q36. what is the third rank of Islam?
A. it is Al-Ihsân. It has one pillar which is to worship Allah as if you are seeing Him,
and if that you cannot see Him, He verily sees you.
Q37. are people to account for their deeds and be rewarded for them after Resur-
rection?
A. yes they are to account for their deeds and will be rewarded for them. The evi-
dence is the words of Allah Almighty: {that He may requite those who do evil with
that which they have done (i.e. punish them in Hell), and reward those who do
good, with what is best (i.e. Paradise).} [Surat An-Najm 53:31]
]31 :[النجم }ىَن ْس ُحْلاِب واُن َس ْحَأ َينِذَّلا َيِز ْجَيَو واُل ِم َع ا َمِب ُواؤا َسَأ َينِذَّلا َيِز ْجَيِل{

Q38. what is the ruling on him who disbelieves in Resurrection?
A. he is an infidel disbeliever. The evidence is the words of Allah Almighty: {The
disbelievers pretend that they will never be resurrected (for the Account). Say (O
Muhammad): Yes! By my Lord, you will certainly be resurrected, then you will be
informed of (and recompensed for) what you did; and that is easy for Allâh.} [Surat

A. no, there was not. The evidence is the words of Allah Almighty: {And verily, We
have sent among every Ummah (community, nation) a Messenger (proclaiming):
«Worship Allâh (Alone), and avoid (or keep away from) Tâghût (all false deities i.e.
do not worship Tâghût besides Allâh).»} [Surat An-Nahl 16:36]

Q40. what are the types of Monotheism?
A. the Unity of Lordship: it is recognized by the infidels as in the words of Allah
Almighty: {Say (O Muhammad): «Who provides for you from the sky and the earth?
Or who owns hearing and sight? And who brings out the living from the dead and
brings out the dead from the living? And who disposes the affairs?» They will say:
«Allâh.» Say: «Will you not then be afraid of Allâh’s punishment (for setting up rivals
in worship with Allâh)?»} [Surat Yûnus 10:31]

mAAa waalabsara waman yukhriju alhayya mina almayyiti wayukhriju almayyita

The Unity of Worship: it is to be sincere in worship to Allah alone other than all
creatures. Allah in the talks of Arabs is the one to whom worship is directed. They
used to say Allah is the Lord of Lords; they associated other deities with Him like the
angles and the righteous and others. They used to say that Allah is pleased with this
and that they intercede for us with Him.
The Unity of Attributes: the Unity of Lordship and the Unity of Worship are not com-
plete but by recognizing the Unity of Attributes. The disbelievers were the sanest
who denied the attributes.
Q41. what should I do when Allah orders me to do something?
16. www.en.wathakker.net
16
A. you have to abide by seven ranks.
The first is to know it. The second is to love it. The third is to determine to do it.
The fourth is to do it. The fifth is to do it for His sake purely and rightfully. The sixth
is to warn against doing anything that might make it fruitless. The seventh is to be
steady in doing it.
Q42. if man knew that Allah has ordered monotheism and has forbidden polytheism,
do these ranks apply to him?
A. The first rank: most people know that monotheism is true and that polytheism is
falsehood, but they turned away from it and did not ask about it. They know that
Allah has forbidden usury, however they buy and sell and do not ask about it. They
know the prohibition of eating up the property of the orphan and that it is permis-
sible to justly take from it, yet they take the responsibility of the property pf the
orphan and do not ask about it.
The second rank: to love what Allah has revealed and that who hates this is a dis-
believer. Most people did not love the Messenger of Allah but hated him. They hated
what he has been sent with, though that they knew it was from Allah.
The third rank: the determination to do it. Most people know what is obligatory but
do not determine to do it because they fear the change to his worldly life.
The fourth rank: performing the action itself. When most people determine to do or
do something and realize that some sheikhs or other feel the grandeur of this work
quit doing it.
The fifth rank: most of the work is not done purely for Allah‘s sake, and if it is for
His sake it is not done right.
The sixth rank: the righteous fear that their work becomes fruitless. Allah almighty
has said: {lest your deeds should be rendered fruitless while you perceive not} [Su-
rat Al-Hujurât 49:2]
]2 :[الحجرات } َونُرُع ْشَت َال ْمُتنَأَو ْمُكُلا َم ْعَأ َطَب ْحَت نَ{أ
Transliteration: an tahbata aAAmalukum waantum la tashAAuroona
This is least of things in our time.
17. www.en.wathakker.netwww.en.wathakker.net
17
The seventh rank: being steady on the right and fearing the bad end; and this is
also one of the greatest things which is feared by the righteous.
Q43. what is the meaning of disbelief? What are its types?
A. Disbelief has two types
The first type: the disbelief that banishes out from the pale of Islam. It has five
kinds.
The first kind: the disbelief of denial. Allah Almighty has said: {And who does more
aggression and wrong than he who invents a lie against Allâh or rejects His Ayât
(proofs, evidence, verses, lessons or revelations)? Verily, the Zâlimûn (polytheists
and wrong-doers) shall never be successful.} [Surat Al-An’âm 6:21]
]21 :[األنعام } َون ُمِلا َّالظ ُحِل ْفُي َال ُهَّنِإ ِهِتاَآيِب َبَّذَك ْوَأ ًباِذَك ِهّلال ىَل َع ىَرَتْاف ِن َّمِم ُمَل ْظَأ ْنَمَو{
Transliteration: Waman athlamu mimmani iftara AAala Allahi kathiban aw kaththaba
biayatihi innahu la yuflihu alththalimoona
The second kind: the disbelief of refusal and arrogance with believing. Allah Al-
mighty has said: {And (remember) when We said to the angels: «Prostrate your-
selves before Adam.» And they prostrated except Iblîs (Satan), he refused and was

The third kind: the disbelief of doubt which is the disbelief of assumption. Allah Almighty
has said: {And he went into his garden while in a state (of pride and disbelief) unjust to
himself. He said: «I think not that this will ever perish. (35) «And I think not the Hour will
ever come, and if indeed I am brought back to my Lord, (on the Day of Resurrection), I
surely shall find better than this when I return to Him.» (36) His companion said to him
during the talk with him: «Do you disbelieve in Him Who created you out of dust (i.e. your
father Adam), then out of Nutfah (mixed semen drops of male and female discharge), then
fashioned you into a man?} [Surat Al-Kahf 18:35-37].

The fourth kind: the disbelief of rejection. The evidence is the words of Allah Al-
mighty: (But those who disbelieve turn away from that whereof they are warned.)
[Surat Al-Ahqâf 46:3].

are sealed, so they understand not.} [Surat Al-Munhfiqûn 63:3].
]3 :[المنافقون } َون ُهَق ْفَي َال ْم ُهَف ْمِهِوبُلُق ٰىَل َع َعِب ُطَف ۟واُرَفَك َُّمث ۟واُنَامَء ْم ُهَّنَأِب َكِل َٰذ{

The second type of the two types of infidelity: it is the smaller disbelief that does
not banish from the pale of Islam which is the disbelief of denying the favors of Al-
lah:
The evidence is the words of Allah Almighty: {And Allâh puts forward the example
of a township (Makkah), that dwelt secure and well-content: its provision coming
to it in abundance from every place, but it (its people) denied the Favours of Allâh
(with ungratefulness). So Allâh made it taste extreme of hunger (famine) and fear,
because of that (evil, i.e. denying Prophet Muhammad) which they (its people) used
to do} [Surat An-Nahl 16:112].

Q44. what is polytheism? And what are its types?
A. you should know that Polytheism is opposed to Monotheism. Polytheism (setting
up partners (in worship) with Allah) has three types: the greater polytheism, the
smaller polytheism and the hidden polytheism.
The first type is the greater polytheism; it has four kinds.
The first: invoking other than Allah. Allah Almighty has said: {And when they em-
bark on a ship, they invoke Allâh, making their Faith pure for Him only: but when
He brings them safely to land, behold, they give a share of their worship to others}
[Surat Al-’Ankabût 29:65].
} َونُكِر ْشُي ْم ُه َاذِإ ِّرَبْلا ىَلِإ ْم ُاه َّجَن ا َّمَلَف َينِّالد ُهَل َين ِصِل ْخُم َهَّلال اُو َعَد ِكْلُفْلا يِف واُبِكَر َاذِإَف{
]65 :[العنكبوت
Transliteration: Faitha rakiboo fee alfulki daAAawoo Allaha mukhliseena lahu ald-
deena falamma najjahum ila albarri itha hum yushrikoona
The second: the polytheism of faith, will and intent. Allah Almighty has said: {Who-
soever desires the life of the world and its glitter, to them We shall pay in full (the
wages of) their deeds therein, and they will have no diminution therein. (15) They
are those for whom there is nothing in the Hereafter but Fire, and vain are the
deeds they did therein. And of no effect is that which they used to do.} [Surat Hûd
11:15-16].

The third: the polytheism of obedience. Allah Almighty has said: {They (Jews and Chris-
tians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides Allâh (by obeying them
in things which they made lawful or unlawful according to their own desires without being
ordered by Allâh), and (they also took as their Lord) Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary), while
they (Jews and Christians) were commanded [in the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gos-
pel)] to worship none but One Ilâh (God - Allâh) Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to
be worshipped but He). Praise and glory be to Him (far above is He) from having the part-
ners they associate (with Him).»} [Surat At-Taubah 9:31]

The fourth: polytheism of love. Allah Almighty has said: {And of mankind are some
who take (for worship) others besides Allâh as rivals (to Allâh). They love them as
they love Allâh. But those who believe, love Allâh more (than anything else). If only,
those who do wrong could see, when they will see the torment, that all power be-
longs to Allâh and that Allâh is Severe in punishment.} [Surat Al-Baqarah 2:165].

waanna Allaha shadeedu alAAathabi
The second type of polytheism: the smaller polytheism. It is hypocrisy (pretence).
Allah Almighty has said:

21
{So whoever hopes for the Meeting with his Lord, let him work righteousness and
associate none as a partner in the worship of his Lord.} [Surat Al-Kahf 18:110].
]110 :[الكهف }ًدا َحَأ ِهِّبَر ِةَداَبِعِب ْكِر ْشُي َالَو ًحاِلا َص ًال َم َع ْل َمْعَيْلَف ِهِّبَر اءَقِل و ُجْرَي َانَك ن َمَف{
Transliteration: faman kana yarjoo liqaa rabbihi falyaAAmal AAamalan salihan wala
yushrik biAAibadati rabbihi ahadan
The third type of polytheism: the hidden polytheism. The evidence is the saying of
the Prophet, prayers and peace of Allah be upon him: “polytheism in this nation is
more hidden than the footsteps of the black ant on a black screen in the darkness of
the night.” [Reported by Ibn Al-Baz with a good chain of transmission]

Q45. What is the difference between predestination (al-qadâ‘) and the Divine des-
tiny (al-qadar)?
A. in the Arabic language al-qadar is the verbal noun of the Arabic verb qaddara (predeter-
mine), then it was used in at-taqdîr (appreciation and elaboration of matters). It was also
used in the preordainment of Allah to His creation.
As for al-qadâ‘ it has been used in global governance, the predestination, and what has
been written in the first books. This could be also applied to al-qadar which is the detail
and discrimination.
Al-qadar could also be called on the al-qadâ‘, which is the global governance of the occur-
rence of predestined things.
Al-qadâ’ is also called on the religious legitimate rulings. Allah Almighty has said: {and find
in themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept (them) with full submis-
sion.} [Surat An-Nisâ’ 4:65].
]65 :[النساء } َتْي َضَق ا َّمِّم ًجاَر َح ْمِه ِسُنفَأ يِف ْاو ُد ِجَي َال َُّمث{

Q46. is destiny whether good or evil as a whole from Allah?
A. destiny is both in good and evil. ‘Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, said: “We
were accompanying a funeral procession in Baqi-I-Gharqad. The Messenger of Allah,
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, came to us and sat and we sat around
him. He had a small stick in his hand then he bent his head and started scraping the
ground with it. He then said, «There is none among you, and not a created soul, but
Allah has assigned for him their place either in paradise or in Hell and it is also de-
termined for him whether he will be among the blessed or the wretched.”
A man said, «O Allah‘s Apostle! Should we not depend on what has been written for
us and leave the deeds?»
24. www.en.wathakker.net
24
So he said: «whoever amongst us is blessed will do the deeds of a blessed person and
whoever amongst us will be wretched, will do the deeds of a wretched person» Then he
recited: {As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allâh and fears Him, (5)
And believes in Al-Husnâ. (6) We will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness).
(7) But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient.(8)And belies Al-Husnâ (9)
We will make smooth for him the path for evil.} [Surat Al-Lail 92:5-10]

Q47. what is the meaning of ‘there is no god but Allah’?
A. its meaning is that there none who is worthy of being worshipped except Allah,
25. www.en.wathakker.netwww.en.wathakker.net

the evidence is the words of Allah Almighty: {And your Lord has decreed that you
worship none but Him}. [Al-Israa’ 17:23]
]23 :[اإلسراء }ُاهَّيِإ َّالِإ ْاو ُدُبْعَت َّالَأ َكُّبَر ى َضَقَو{
Transliteration: Waqada rabbuka alla taAAbudoo illa iyyahu
His words {worship none} have the meaning of ‘there is no god’, and His words {but
Him} have the meaning ‘but Allah’.
Q48. what is the monotheism ordained by Allah on his slaves before performing
prayers and observing fasting?
A. it is the Unification of Worship; so that you do not invoke anyone but Allah alone
Who has no partners. You do not invoke the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah
be upon him, or no others. Allah Almighty has said: {And the mosques are for Allâh
(Alone): so invoke not anyone along with Allâh} [Surat Al-Jinn 72:18].
]18 :[الجن }ًدا َحَأ ِهَّلال َعَم وا ُع ْدَت َلاَف ِهَّلِل َد ِاج َس َمْلا َّنَأَو{

Q49. which is better: the poor who is patient or the rich who is grateful?
A. The issue of wealth and poverty, each of the patient and the grateful are of the
best believers, but the better of them is the more pious as allah Almighty has said:
{Verily, the most honorable of you with Allâh is that (believer) who has At-Taqwâ
(i.e. he is one of the Muttaqûn (the pious.)} [Al-Hujjurat 40:13]
]13 :[الحجرات } ْمُاكَقْتَأ ِهَّلال َند ِع ْمُكَمَرْكَأ َّنِ{إ
Transliteration: inna akramakum AAinda Allahi atqakum
As for the limit of patience and gratefulness: the well-known among scholars is that
patience is not to panic, and gratefulness is to obey Allah by the grace that He has
given you.
Q50. what do you recommend me to do?
A. I recommend and urge you to be a jurisprudent in monotheism and to read its
books, they reveal the truth about monotheism which Allah has sent His Messenger
26. www.en.wathakker.net
26
with. They also show the reality of polytheism which Allah and His Messenger have
forbidden. The Messenger has stated that Paradise is forbidden to the polytheist and
that his deeds are rendered as fruitless.
The most important thing is to know the truth of monotheism which Allah has sent
His Messenger with. By monotheism a man is considered a Muslim and is far away
from polytheism and polytheists.
Write for me something that Allah may benefit me with.
The first thing I advise you to do: pay attention to what Muhammad, peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him, has brought from Allah Almighty. He has come from
Allah with all that the people need. He has left nothing that will bring them closer
to Allah and His Paradise but he has ordered them to do. He has left nothing that
will keep them away from Allah and bring them closer to His punishment but that
he has forbidden them to do and has warned them against it. Thus, Allah has set-
tled the argument upon His creation till the Day of Resurrection, no one has a plea
against Allah after the mission of Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon
him.
Allah glorified and Exalted has said about him and his fellow Messengers: {Verily,
We have sent the revelation to you (O Muhammad) as We sent the revelation to
Nûh (Noah) and the Prophets after him;} [Surat An-Nisâ’ 4:163]
]163 :[النساء }ِهِدْعَب نِم َينِّيِبَّنالَو ٍوحُن ىَلِإ اَنْي َحْوَأ ا َمَك َكْيَلِإ اَنْي َحْوَأ اَّنِ{إ

The greatest thing of what he has brought from Allah, and the first thing he has
ordered people do is to believe in the Oneness of Allah by worshipping Him alone
27. www.en.wathakker.netwww.en.wathakker.net
27
with no partner, and by devotion to Him alone. Allah Glorified and Exalted has said:
{O you (Muhammad) enveloped in garments! [1]. Arise and warn! [2]. And magnify
your Lord (Allâh)!} [Surat Al-Muddathther 74:1-3].
]3-1 :[المدثر }ْرِّبَكَف َكَّبَرَو )2( ْرِنذَأَف ْمُق )1( ُِّرثَّد ُمْلا اَهُّيَأ اَ{ي
Transliteration: Ya ayyuha almuddaththiru (1) Qum faanthir (2) Warabbaka fakabbir
The meaning of {And magnify your Lord (Allâh)} is to magnify your Lord by believ-
ing in His monotheism by worshipping and by devotion to Him alone with no part-
ner. This was before the command of prayer, almsgiving and fasting, Hajj and other
rituals of Islam.
The meaning of {Arise and warn} is to warn about polytheism in the worshipping of
Allah alone with no partner. It was also said it is a warning against adultery, theft,
usury and injustice to the people and other major sins.
This is the greatest and most obligated principles of Islam. It is for this principle that
Allah has created His creation as shown in His words: {And I (Allâh) created not the
jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone).} [Surat Az-Zâriyât
51:56].

Transliteration: Wama khalaqtu aljinna waalinsa illa liyaAAbudooni
For this principle Allah has sent His Messengers and revealed His Books. Allah Al-
mighty has said: {and verily, We have sent among every Ummah (community, na-
tion) a Messenger (proclaiming): “Worship Allâh (Alone), and avoid (or keep away
from) Tâghût (all false deities i.e. do not worship Tâghût besides Allâh).”} [Surat
An-Nahl 16:36].
]36 :[النحل } َوت ُاغ َّالط ْاوُبِنَت ْاجَو َهّلال ْاو ُدُب ْاع ِنَأ ًوال ُسَّر ٍةَّمُأ ِّلُك يِف اَنْثَعَب ْدَقَلَو{

And for it people has been dispersed between a Muslim and a disbeliever. Whoever
comes to Allah on the Day of Resurrection, believing in His monotheism, not asso-
ciating anything with Him, will enter Paradise. Whoever comes to Him a polytheist
will enter Hellfire even if he was the most worshipper of people. This is the meaning
of your saying: (there is no God but Allah). The God is the One Who is invoked, the
One Who is hoped for to bring about good and to push away evil, the One Who is
feared and Who is trusted in.
