The document summarizes the first part of Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhab's treatise "Kashf ush-Shubuhaat" on the meaning of Tawheed. It explains that Tawheed means singling out Allah alone for worship. While the Mushriks affirmed Allah's lordship, they rejected His sole right to worship by calling upon other beings like angels and prophets. The Messengers including Noah and Muhammad were sent to abolish this practice of shirk and revive the worship of Allah alone as taught by Ibrahim. The Mushriks exaggerated the status of righteous people and called upon them instead of Allah directly. [END SUMMARY]
This document discusses Islamic monotheism (Tawheed) and the dangers of shirk (polytheism). It explains that prophets like Muhammad preached strict monotheism and prohibited any actions that could lead to shirk, such as building structures over graves or excessively praising prophets. While humans were originally created to worship one God, over time many societies deviated into shirk by attributing divine powers to other beings or objects. The document argues this based on evidence from historical religious beliefs and the fitrah (natural human disposition). It categorizes different types of shirk and states that shirk is the only unforgivable sin in Islam, as it prevents one from entering paradise and negates
The document provides an overview of some key Islamic concepts:
1) Iman (faith) in Islam involves firm conviction based on reason and knowledge, giving inner peace. The basic declaration of faith is "There is no god but Allah";
2) The seven main articles of faith are belief in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Day of Judgment, and divine destiny;
3) Tawheed, the oneness of Allah, involves believing Allah alone is the creator and deserves worship. It is the foundation of Islam.
This document discusses Tawhid (the oneness of God) and its three main types according to Islam. It defines Tawhid as believing that Allah is one and has no partners. The three types of Tawhid are: 1) Tawheed ar-raboobeyah, maintaining Allah's oneness as the sole Lord and Creator, 2) Tawheed ul Asmaa was siffat, maintaining Allah's oneness in names and attributes, and 3) Tawheed ul Ebaadah, maintaining Allah's oneness as the sole object of worship. Verses from the Quran are provided to support each type. The conclusion reiterates that believing in Allah's oneness is fundamental to
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 warns of the dangers of shirk and states that knowing its different forms is important to avoid falling into it.
Clarification Of Doubts Muhammad Ibn Abdul WahabLight Upon Light
This document provides clarification on the concept of Tawheed (Islamic monotheism) according to Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahab. It discusses how:
1) All prophets from Noah to Muhammad called people to worship Allah alone and reject shirk (associating partners with Allah). However, some people took creatures as intermediaries to seek Allah's proximity, which is only for Allah.
2) Muhammad was sent to revive the religion of Abraham and inform people that proximity to and belief in Allah is his sole right. None besides Allah gives life, causes death, or controls affairs.
3) While the polytheists affirmed Allah's lordship, this did not make them

This document discusses the four principles of Tawheed (monotheism) according to Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Abdul-Wahaab. It defines Tawheed ar-Ruboobiyyah as singling out Allah as the sole creator and sustainer of all things. Tawheed al-Uloohiyyah is defined as singling out Allah alone for all acts of worship.

The document outlines the six key beliefs that form the basis of Islamic faith, or eemaan. These include belief in Allah, the angels, the prophets and messengers, the divine scriptures, the Day of Resurrection, and divine preordainment.

Key points discussed include the characteristics and roles of angels, important prophets and messengers mentioned in the Quran, and details about the events of the Day of Resurrection such as the questioning in the grave.
This document discusses the three main categories of Tawheed in Islam: Tawheed ar-Ruboobeeyah (maintaining the unity of lordship), Tawheed al-Asmaa was-Sifaat (maintaining the unity of Allah's names and attributes), and Tawheed al-'Ebaadah (maintaining the unity of worship).

1. The document discusses the true meaning of Tawheed (monotheism) according to Islam, which is to single out Allah alone for worship.
2. It explains that while the polytheists (mushriks) affirmed Allah's lordship and control over all creation, they still committed shirk by calling upon other beings like angels and prophets for intercession with Allah.
3. The purpose of sending the prophets including Muhammad was to call people back to pure monotheism by worshipping Allah alone without any intermediaries, as this was the true message of Tawheed.
Prophethood is an essential part of Islam that involves God communicating with humankind through prophets. Prophets are chosen by God and receive divine revelations, communicating messages to communities or all of mankind. In Islam, all prophets are respected equally and their teachings are seen as complementary. Some key prophets mentioned in the Quran include Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, who is considered the final prophet. Prophets serve to teach about God and guide people, acting as moral examples through their excellent character.
The document discusses the Shahada, which is the first of the Five Pillars of Islam. The Shahada expresses the fundamental belief in the oneness of God (tawhid) and acceptance of Muhammad as God's messenger. It states "There is no god but God, and Muhammad is the messenger of God." Reciting the Shahada with sincere faith makes one a Muslim. It is recited during daily prayers and at important moments to reaffirm this core Islamic concept.
Since the creation of Adam, Shaitaan (may Allah curse him) has hated Adam and his children and has been an enemy against all mankind. Shaitaan has promised to lead all mankind astray except Allah's sincere slaves. Thus began the war of truth and falsehood between the party of Allah and the party of shaitaan. Shaitaan pursued all the methods that he is capable of to mislead the children of Adam and to beautify falsehood for them. Allah made an agreement with the children of Adam that they should not worship shaitaan as he is their clear enemy.
- Brief review of Tawheed & brief discussion about Angels & Jinns in Islam.
- As this discussion will cover intangible things which are solely dependent on the belief of Tawheed, it is prudent that we prepare ourselves to accept this information, specially how to deal with these abstract matters, matters which are out of our sight. If one does not believe in Allah then belief in these are solely disputable concepts, not facts. Lets us clear our doubt in light of what Allah & His Prophet (saw) has to say about them and what are the prescribed actions for us to address them.

1) The document discusses the third study from Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhab's work "Kashf ush-Shubuhaat" (Removal of Doubts), which focuses on the obligation of warning against kufr and its people.
2) It explains that when one truly understands tawheed (monotheism), they will rejoice in Allah's mercy but also greatly fear falling into disbelief themselves.
3) It notes that enemies of tawheed will try to misguide people using knowledge and arguments, as they did with past prophets, so the reader must learn to refute doubts about tawheed.

1) The statement "Laa ilaaha ill Allaah" distinguishes between faith and disbelief. It requires sincere recognition in the heart, not just utterance by the tongue.
2) It contains both a negation of worshipping anything besides God, including prophets, angels, or saints. And an affirmation of worshipping God alone.
3) Merely affirming God's role as Creator and Sustainer is not enough. One must also affirm that God alone deserves to be prayed to, sacrificed to, and sought for help - not intermediaries. Negating intermediaries completes the meaning of the statement.

The document discusses the difference between the Shirk (polytheism) committed by early pagans and that committed by modern people. It states that the Shirk of modern people is more serious for two reasons:
1. The early pagans would only commit Shirk during times of ease and call upon only Allah during times of hardship, whereas modern people commit Shirk during both easy and difficult times.
2. The early pagans called upon righteous people close to Allah like prophets or angels, whereas modern people call upon the most sinful of people according to their own testimony of those individuals' sins.

It notes that enemies of tawheed object that they do not associate partners with Allah but see righteous people as having status with Allah. The response is that while the mushriks affirmed Allah's lordship, they took idols and people as intercessors, which Allah condemned as shirk. It equates calling upon idols and the righteous as shirk. The document advocates responding with clear Quranic verses establishing tawheed and rejecting any intermediaries between man and Allah.

2) It explains that while the polytheists affirmed Allah's lordship, their shirk came from seeking intercession from other beings and setting up intermediaries between themselves and Allah.
3) Many Muslims today are ignorant of the full meaning of the Shahadah ("There is no god but Allah"), not realizing it requires exclusively worshipping Allah in all manners, as even the ignorant polytheists understood at the time.

Mustalah al-Hadeeth (Classification of Hadeeth)Zaffer Khan
This document provides an introduction to the science of hadith terminology (mustalah al-hadith) by a prominent Saudi Arabian scholar, Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen. It defines mustalah al-hadith as the collection of principles to determine the authenticity of narrations attributed to the Prophet Muhammad. It notes that while the Quran's text and meaning are fixed, hadith require establishing authentic chains of narration and interpretations. The introduction outlines the benefits of mustalah al-hadith and types of narrations including hadith, khabar, and athar.

This document summarizes the eleventh study from the book "Kashf ush-Shubuhaat" by Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhaab. The study addresses a common doubt raised by those who commit shirk (polytheism), arguing that they affirm beliefs like Tawheed, prayer, fasting etc. unlike early disbelievers. The response is given in three points: 1) Rejecting any part of the Quran or teachings makes one a disbeliever. 2) Matters like rejecting obligatory prayer make one a disbeliever, so rejecting the greatest obligation of Tawheed is worse. 3) Differences between groups do not negate rulings on disbelief, as disbelief can be partial
Kashf Ash-Shubuhaat (Removing Doubts Pertaining to Shirk)The Choice
This work, which is one of Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab’s most important works, deals with explaining and refuting the evidences that were used by certain Muslim groups of his time to justify acts of shirk (the act of associating partners with Allah). It is entitled Kashf al-Shubuhat, which literally translates as: ‘The Removal of Doubts’. The legend and the Lion of this Ummah, the Abd al-Wahhab intended in this work to expose the falsity and speciousness of these arguments by proving that the pagans whom the Prophet (saw) fought utilized the exact same arguments and fell prey to the same reasoning as these modern practitioners of shirk did. It is one of the most advanced works on the subject, and over a dozen different arguments and evidences used to justify shirk are presented and then refuted.

This document is an introduction to a book about the Islamic belief (aqeedah) of Tawheed (monotheism). It discusses the importance of aqeedah as the foundation of Islam upon which actions are built. It outlines the sources of aqeedah as being the Quran and Sunnah, and how the early Muslims (Salaf) learned aqeedah directly from these sources. It also discusses how deviation from correct aqeedah can occur, such as through ignorance, blindly following leaders, or exaggerating the status of pious people.
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 summarizes the seventh study from the book "Removal of Doubts" by Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhab.
The study addresses those who claim calling upon the righteous is not a form of worship. It provides two examples, supplication and sacrifice, that are clearly defined as acts of worship in the Quran and Sunnah. Anyone who directs worship like supplication or sacrifice to other than Allah has committed shirk.
It also notes that the pre-Islamic polytheists' worship of others was through acts like supplication, sacrifice and seeking their intercession - showing their shirk is comparable to those who direct similar acts of worship to other than Allah today. The goal is to
This document discusses the importance of enjoining right and forbidding wrong in Islam. It begins by providing context that this is a fundamental part of Islamic doctrine that all prophets, including Muhammad, taught. It then discusses how Muhammad perfected this teaching by requiring Muslims to enjoin all good and forbid all evil. The document asserts that Islam thus provides the most complete guidance for benefiting humanity. It emphasizes that Muslims have a duty as the best nation to call all people to guidance and struggle for this purpose.

This document provides an English translation of "The Islamic Belief" by Imaam Abu Ja'far at-Tahawi, which outlines the beliefs of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'ah. It begins with an introduction about the author and importance of the text. The main body lists 48 points of Islamic doctrine, including Tawheed (unity of God), faith in prophets including Muhammad (peace be upon him), faith in destiny, and avoidance of delving into the unknowable attributes of God. It emphasizes submitting to God's will and avoiding speculation beyond what is clearly stated in the Quran and hadith.
- The document is an excerpt from "Kashf ush Shubuhaat" (Removal of the Doubts) by Muhammad ibn Abdil Wahhaab discussing tawheed (monotheism) and refuting shirk (polytheism).
- It explains that tawheed means singling out Allah alone for worship, as taught by all prophets, but many people associated others with Allah in worship like angels or righteous men.
- Muhammad was sent to revive the religion of Ibrahim and teach that only Allah deserves acts of worship like dua, sacrifice, oaths, and seeking help, and that proper understanding of "la ilaha illa Allah" means this
This document provides an introduction to Islam written by Dr. Munqidh Ben Mahmoud Assaqar of the Muslim World League. It begins by acknowledging those who helped complete the work. The introduction then discusses the meaning of "Islam" and explains that it means total submission to Allah. It notes that Islam was the religion of all prophets, including Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad. The five pillars of Islam are then explained as declaring faith in Allah and Muhammad, performing prayers, paying charity, fasting during Ramadan, and pilgrimage if able. The document aims to explain Islamic principles and rebut false claims about Islam.
The document examines the concepts of prophethood and messengership in Islam, and emphasizes the finality of prophethood with Muhammad. It defines a prophet (nabi) and messenger (rasul), and explains that rasuls receive revelation and scripture to convey specific laws to their people. It argues pseudo-Islamic groups distort these concepts to allow for new messages, but the Quran and hadith clearly establish Muhammad as the final prophet and messenger, sealing both prophethood and messengership. The document aims to clarify this fundamental Islamic belief and warn against any claims of new revelation.

This document discusses democracy as a religion that is not submission to Allah. It begins by quoting a Quranic verse stating that only submission to Allah will be accepted and all else leads to loss. It then provides context and background for a book written by Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi arguing that democracy is a clear form of disbelief and polytheism. The document aims to translate this book into English to warn non-Arabic speakers and distinguish truth from falsehood.

The document summarizes the eighth study from the book "Removal of Doubts" by Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhab. It discusses the topics of intercession. The key points made are:
1) All intercession belongs to Allah alone, and can only occur with His permission. The Prophet can only intercede for those Allah is pleased with, which are the people of Tawheed (monotheism).
2) When seeking intercession, one should ask Allah to accept the Prophet's intercession, not ask the Prophet directly.
3) Those who claim one can ask the Prophet directly for the right of intercession given to him are refuted, as Allah

Clear verses are followed but ambiguous ones should not contradict clear ones. The Prophet warned against following ambiguous verses and said to beware of those who do.

1) The document discusses the importance of learning about Tawheed (monotheism) from the Quran in order to defend against doubts spread by enemies of monotheism.
2) It states that Satan and his soldiers lie in wait to attack people on the straight path of monotheism using knowledge and arguments, so Muslims must acquire weapons from the Quran to fight back intellectually.
3) The document argues that even a common believer armed with rational proofs from the Quran can overcome thousands of scholars of polytheism, and that no false argument exists that cannot be nullified by the Quran.
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 five categories of Taaghoot: the Devil, oppressive rulers, those who judge by other than Allah's revelation, those who claim knowledge of the unseen, and those worshipped besides Allah.
This document outlines the conditions, pillars, and requirements of prayer according to Imam Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab. It discusses the nine conditions for a valid prayer such as Islam, purity, and intention. It then explains the fourteen pillars of prayer including the opening takbeer, reciting the Quran, bowing, and prostrating. Finally, it lists the requirements of ablution and details the proper way to perform wudoo according to the Quran and hadith. The document provides scriptural evidence for each aspect of prayer discussed.
The document summarizes Imaam Abdul-Azeez bin Baaz's treatise on the correct Islamic belief. It outlines the six pillars of faith in Islam: faith in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and divine pre-decree. It then discusses each pillar in 1-2 sentences, with faith in Allah focusing on His right to be worshipped alone and believing in His commands. The summary establishes the key points about Islamic creed discussed in the treatise.
The document provides a summary of the first chapter from the book "Kitaabus-Sunnah" by Imaam Aboo Daawood as-Sijistaanee, which has been authenticated by Imaam Muhammad Naasirud-Deen al-Albaanee. The chapter discusses hadiths related to the splitting of religious communities into sects and the Prophet's warning about following desires. It also includes hadiths prohibiting disputation of the Quran and innovations in religion. The document provides context about the author, authentication, translation source and overview of the initial chapters and hadiths discussed.
The first rule regarding Shirk is that acknowledging Allaah's Lordship alone through affirming that He is the Creator and Administrator of all affairs is not sufficient to remove one from disbelief or enter Islam. The polytheists acknowledged this during the time of Prophet Muhammad but it did not cause them to enter Islam or make their lives and wealth sacred since they still ascribed partners to Allaah in worship. One must single out Allaah alone for worship to truly have faith.
The document outlines the key differences between believers and disbelievers. Believers have faith in God and follow religious teachings, showing gratitude and patience. Their hearts are at peace as they hope for divine reward. Disbelievers deny God and prioritize material desires, living in unrest and lacking faith to endure hardship. They are motivated by worldly goals while believers seek God's pleasure.
1) Imaam Ahmad valued memorizing the Quran greatly and said that it is difficult to accept that the dunya could melt the hearts of those who have memorized it and comprehend its meanings.
2) He continued seeking knowledge throughout his life, even carrying an inkwell like students. He said he would seek knowledge until being placed in his grave, and asked for a hadith on his deathbed.
3) Imaam Ahmad forgot some Quran due to focusing on hadith studies. He realized he should have asked God to grant him memorization "in safety and good health" instead of just memorization. He then memorized the Quran while imprisoned.
Imaam Ahmad emphasized loving and hating people based on how closely they follow the Sunnah (way of the Prophet). He warned against innovations in worship, as people may intend good but still introduce impermissible new practices. To avoid falling into innovation, one must have strong knowledge of authentic hadith and follow only what is proven from the Prophet and Companions.
1) Imaam Ahmad ibn Hanbal dedicated his youth to acts of worship and seeking religious knowledge, traveling extensively to learn from scholars.
2) As a young boy, he was known to have signs of worship and piety in both his appearance and speech. He delayed marriage until age 40 to focus on knowledge-seeking.
3) Imaam Ahmad was described as only speaking about beneficial religious matters and knowledge, avoiding idle worldly conversation. He was fully dedicated to worshipping God and guiding others.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life.

Readings in Kashf ush-Shubuhaat (Removal of the Doubts) :
The First Study
INTRODUCTION
All Praise is due to Allaah, we praise Him, seek His aid and His Forgiveness. We seek refuge
in Allaah from the evils of our souls and the evils of our actions. Whomsoever Allaah guides
there is none to misguide and whomsoever Allaah misguides there is none to guide. I bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, alone, without any partners and
I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger.
To proceed: this is the treatise of the Shaikh ul-Islaam, Establisher of Tawheed, and Reviver
of the Religion, Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhaab entitled “the Removal of the Doubts” and
it is one of the most essential and fundamental writings on the subject of Tawheed and what
is connected to it. The translation of the text has been taken from the work of Muhammad
bin Abdur-Rahmaan al-Khumayyis who has added some brief explanatory notes and some
additional footnotes pointing out some other doubts that the enemies of Tawheed use and
spread amongst the people. The whole book is serialised in sections and explanatory titles
have been given to each portion of the text to aid understanding, study and revision.
We pray that Allaah revives the light of Tawheed and the Sunnah and that He removes what
remains of the darknesses of Shirk and Bid’ah, and that He corrects the affairs of the
Ummah, by granting them success in correcting their own souls, following in all of that the
Methodology of the Inheritors the Prophets in every generation, that of Imaam Maalik, that
of the Prophets and Messengers themselves.

The First Study: The Meaning of Tawheed and the Error of the Mushriks in
Understanding It
Stated the Shaikh of Islaam, Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhaab, beginning his treatise:
1.1 [Definition of Tawheed]
“In the name of Allaah, the Most-Merciful, Every-Merciful (to His Believing Servants). Know
– may Allaah have mercy upon you – that Tawheed (monotheism) is to single out Allaah,
free is He from all imperfections, with [all forms of] worship (ibaadah) and this is the
religion of the Messengers sent by Allaah to His servants.
1.2 [The Messengers and Their Peoples]
The first of them was Nuh (alaihis-salaam), Allaah sent him to his people when they
exaggerated the status of the righteous people [such as] Wadd, Suwaa, Yaghuth, Ya’uq and
Nasr1
. And the last of the Messengers was Muhammad (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) and he
smashed the statues of these righteous people. Allaah sent him to a people who were given to
devotion and worship, would make the pilgrimage, give charity and remember Allaah often.
1.3 [That For Which the Mushriks Were Fought Against]
However, they made some of the creatures into intermediaries between themselves and
Allaah, and they would say “we seek nearness (taqarrub) to Allaah from them” and “we seek
their intercession from them with Allaah”. Such (creatures) included the Angels, Eesaa,
Maryam and others from among the righteous people.
1.4 [That For Which The Messengers Were Sent]
So Allaah sent Muhammad (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) so that he would revive for them the
religion of Ibraheem (alaihis-salaam) and so that he would inform them that this nearness
(taqarrub) and this belief (i’tiqaad) [that they held and directed through the creatures] is the
sole right of Allaah, and that it does not befit anyone besides Allah, neither a near Angel (to
Allaah) and nor a Messenger that was sent – aside from the Creator alone, with whom there
is no partner.
1
DOUBT ALERT NO. 1 : BETWEEN STONES AND IDOLS AND THE STATUS OF THE
RIGHTEOUS
This is a refutation of the grave-worshippers who say:
The Mushriks used to worship stones, trees and idols and we call upon the Prophets and Righteous and seek
assistance through them. Stones and trees do not have any standing or nobility in the sight of Allaah, whereas
the Prophets and Righteous have a lofty position in the sight of Allaah and Allaah does not reject their
intercession for us. Hence, it is not right to make analogies between a Muwahhid who seeks aid through the
Prophets and between a Mushrik who worships idols.
Meaning, that the cause leading to Shirk was the exaggeration and veneration of the status of the Righteous
people. Hence, this argument and doubt coming from the Mushriks is false. This doubt will actually be refuted
in the course of this treatise “Kashf ush-Shubuhaat” by the author, the Shaikh of Islaam.
3. Readings in Kashf ush-Shubuhaat: The First Study
TAW060001 @ WWW.SALAFIPUBLICATIONS.COM 3
1.5 [What the Mushriks Already Affirmed]
Also that none sustains and provides but He, that none gives life but He, that none causes to
die but He, that none controls the affair(s) but He and that all of the seven Heavens and
whatever is within them, the seven Earths and whatever is within them are all subservient to
Allaah and under His command and His (compelling) power.
And if you seek the evidence to show that the Mushriks whom the Messenger of Allaah
(sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) fought against used to witness (and affirm) all of this, then recite
His – the Most High’s – saying, “Say (O Muhammad): “Who provides for you from the sky
and from 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)?” (Yunus 10:31)
And his saying, “Say: “Whose is the earth and whosoever is therein? If you know!” They
will say: “It is Allâh's!” Say: “Will you not then remember?” Say: “Who is (the) Lord of
the seven heavens, and (the) Lord of the Great Throne?” They will say: “Allâh.” Say: “Will
you not then fear Allâh (believe in His Oneness, obey Him, believe in the Resurrection
and Recompense for each and every good or bad deed).” Say “In Whose Hand is the
sovereignty of everything (i.e. treasures of each and everything)? And He protects (all),
while against Whom there is no protector, (i.e. if Allâh saves anyone none can punish or
harm him, and if Allâh punishes or harms anyone none can save him), if you know.”
They will say: “(All that belongs) to Allâh.” Say: “How then are you deceived and turn
away from the truth?” (Al-Mu'minun 23:84-89).
And other such verses2
.
1.6 [What Did the Mushriks Reject?]
When you have established that they used to affirm all of this and that this was not sufficient
to enter them into the Tawheed which the Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) called
them to, you will come to know that the Tawheed which they rejected was the Tawheed of
Ibaadah, that which the Mushriks of our time have called belief (I’tiqaad).
1.7 [Part Worship to Allaah and Part Worship to Creatures]
[And] just as they (the Mushriks) used to also call upon Him – free is He from imperfections
– day and night, then amongst them were those who would call upon the Angels for
intercession on account of their righteousness and nearness to Allaah (thinking this would
2
DOUBT ALERT NO. 2 : THEY MAKE SHIRK IN RUBOOBIYYAH, WE DON’T!!
This is a refutation of the grave-worshippers who say:
The Mushriks used to associate their gods with Allaah in His Ruboobiyyah (Lordship), in His Creatorship and
Ownership in opposition to us, for we do not believe that the Awliyaa’ have any control or power or aspects of
Ruboobiyyah.
And this is futile, the words of Allaah have rendered it to be pure falsehood and a wicked lie. Rather, the
Mushriks were free of making Shirk with Allaah in His Ruboobiyyah, as has preceded.

be of benefit to them). They also called upon the righteous people, such as al-Laat or to a
Prophet such as Isaa….”
End of the first part.

Points To Note
1A. The true nature of the Tawheed called to by the Messengers is Tawheed ul-Ibaadah, or
Tawheed al-Uloohiyyah. This compromises all of Tawheed in action3
, and relates to the right
of Allaah upon His servants. This is the basis of the call to Tawheed in all times and ages.
1B. The greatest and most widespread form of Shirk is that which is related to intercession
and intermediation between the creation and Allaah and this was what the first and last of
the Messengers, Nuh (alaihis-salaam) and Muhammad (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) came to
abolish. They began their calls to rectify this deviation from the Tawheed of Allaah.
1C. The Mushriks to whom Muhammad (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) was sent exaggerated
the status of the righteous people and were thus led to worship them by calling upon them
to seek their intercession and nearness to Allaah through them.
1D. The Mushriks affirmed the Ruboobiyyah of Allaah, that is His complete Lordship,
Ownership and Control of the creation. That is evidenced in Yunus 10:31, Muminoon
3
BENEFIT : AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT TAWHEED
There are two types of Tawheed. That which is related to knowledge and that which is related to action. This is
what Ibn al-Qayyim calls “Tawheed ul-Ilm wal-Ma’rifah” and “Tawheed ul-Qasd wal-Iraadah” respectively. All of
Tawheed and its various types, shades, meanings etc. come under these two. Others from the Salaf split the
Tawheed related to knowledge into two categories, Tawheed ur-Ruboobiyyah and Tawheed ul-Asmaa was-Sifaat.
All of Tawheed does not exit from what has been mentioned above of the terms and structures used to
describe and qualify it.
Some of the scholars make mention of Tawheed ul-Mutaaba’ah, the Tawheed of Ittibaa’, following the
Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) as a level of Tawheed. This actually comes under Ruboobiyyah from the
point of view of Allaah being the one who revealed the Religion and the Scripture and the Sunnah and it
comes under Uloohiyyah from the point of view of the servants’ obligation to follow what He has revealed in
the Scripture and the Sunnah, as opposed to blind-following of madhhabs, ancestors, traditions and customs
and what opposes the Sunnah.
The difference between those who mention this level of Tawheed (of Mutaaba’ah) and those who speak with
Tawheed al-Haakimiyyah, is that those who speak with Ittibaa’ intend to refute the Innovators, the blind-
followers and the followers of customs and traditions and ways alien to Islaam, all of whom oppose the Sunnah
and revel in their own opinions. They call for the adoption for the Sunnah in all affairs of worship and
dealings. As for the callers to al-Haakimiyyah, then their call is to the narrow and restricted Haakimiyyah which
relates only to the Rulers and Political affairs. They have a political goal and agenda. At the same time they
accommodate the groups of Innovation, the various groups and parties that have emerged (such as Ikhwan,
Tabligh and Hizb ut-Tahrir) and they allow co-operation with them in their innovated form of Political
Activism. They also aggrandise and praise the Innovators such as Sayyid Qutb and Hassan al-Banna, which
indicates that they do not have any sincerity of purpose towards what they promote of al-Haakimiyyah, since to
the Political Activists, al-Haakimiyyah only applies to the Rulers, not the Straying Heretical Innovators and the
sects and groups of innovation such as Ikhwaan and Tabligh. The sick condition of Abdur-Rahmaan Abdul-
Khaaliq in this regard is clear for all to see. They also encourage contending with the authorities and making
rebellion against them – all of which leads to the killing of the innocent and further repression. Hence, this
brand of al-Haakimiyyah is a tool for the Activists, as stated by Imaam al-Albaani and others. It is for this
reason that the Ulamaa of Ahl us-Sunnah have spoken harshly against this slogan which is in actual fact the
slogan of the Khawaarij.
This slogan leads to the kinds of calamities that were witnessed in Algeria and is oft-repeated by the
“Revolutionary Takfiris” of all generations and times.

1E. Amongst the things that the Mushriks affirmed, as indicated in the abovementioned
Qur’anic references are: Allaah is the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, He subjected
the sun and the moon (for His creatures), that He is their Creator, that He sends down the
water from the sky and gives life to the earth with it, that He is al-Azeez (the Mighty), al-
Aleem (All-Knowing), so they affirmed some of the Names of Allaah, that He created the
earth and whatever is in it, that He is the Lord of the seven heavens and the Lord of the
Mighty Throne (so they affirmed the ‘Arsh), that the dominion of all things are in His
Hands, that He is the one in whom refuge is sought and none other, that He is the one who
provides with sustenance from the sky and earth, that He controls the (granting of the)
faculties of seeing and hearing, that He brings out the living from the dead and the dead
from the living and that He controls every single affair (of the universe).
Yet all of this did not enter them into the Tawheed that the Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi
wasallam) called to.
1F. From what has preceded above, it is clear that the Mushriks did not reject the
Ruboobiyyah of Allaah, but they rejected the Uloohiyyah of Allaah, that is the sole right of
Allaah of being worshipped with all the various types of worship.
