So from Shaddaad ibn Aws from the Prophet that he said, “The noblest and most excellent manner of seeking forgiveness is that the servant says: ‘O Allaah, You are my Lord. None has the right to be worshiped except You. You created me, and I am Your slave/worshiper. And I am faithful to my covenant and my promise as far as I am able. I seek Your refuge from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge before You all the favors
that You have bestowed upon me. And I confess all my sins to You. So forgive me, since none can forgive sins except You.’
The Prophet said, “Whoever says it in the day, with firm conviction in it, and dies in that day before evening – then he is from the people of Paradise. Whoever says it in the night, with firm conviction in it, and he dies before the Morning – then he is from the people of Paradise.” #islam #seekingforgiveness #learnaboutislam

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.
This document provides an introduction and preface to a book about calling people to Islam (ad-Dawah ilallaah). It discusses seven pillars that are essential for a correct call to Islam: 1) having knowledge of what is being called to, 2) acting in accordance with it, 3) having pure intentions, 4) beginning with the most important beliefs and duties, 5) persevering patiently in the face of hardships, 6) using good manners, and 7) remaining hopeful that the call will be effective. It notes the Messengers of Allah as the best examples to follow in their preaching methods.
The document discusses the Islamic principle of Al-Walaa' wal-Baraa' (alliance and disassociation). It states that this principle is fundamental to one's faith and requires loving believers and disassociating from disbelievers. It provides evidence from the Quran stating that one should not take disbelievers as friends or allies. The document emphasizes that true faith requires rejecting all objects of worship besides Allah and grasping solely to Him through obedience to the Messenger.
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 Book Of Zakaah: A brief but nice booklet discussing Zakaah, those items and amounts upon which it is due, and where it is to be spent. Includes a few important fataawa related to Zakaah.
The document discusses the importance of rediscovering the message and example of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). It highlights his message of peace, excellence in morals, love for humanity, and solution to human problems. It outlines the Prophet's concern for guiding humanity to truth and success in the hereafter. Believers have an obligation to convey his message to others through dawah and establishing Islamic organizations to provide spiritual and social services.
This document provides a summary of Imaam 'Abdul-'Azeez bin 'Abdillaah bin Baaz's treatise titled "The Correct Belief and what Opposes It". The treatise outlines the pillars of correct Islamic belief, which are faith in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and divine pre-decree. It discusses each of these pillars in brief sections, providing Quranic verses and hadith to support them. The document aims to inform new Muslims about the fundamentals of Islamic belief in a concise manner.
The issue of the deeds of the hearts is an immensely important subject, and this is why many scholars have written countless books on the subject - in order to remind and encourage people to perform them. These deeds require sacrifice and exertion because one's salvation is dependant on them; moreover, the deeds of the limbs will not be performed if these of the heart are absent. Reliance upon Allaah is something that has an immense impact on a person; it is an implication of belief and is one of the finest deeds and acts of worship by which the slave can draw close to Allaah, the All-Merciful; It is one of the highest ranks of Islaamic monotheism because nothing can occur except through one relying and depending upon Allaah for it to do so.
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.

When a person looks around him he will see all these communities whom all ascribe themselves to Islām, and all of them claim to work for the sake of raising its flag and spreading it. At this point none is able to separate the truth from the falsehood and the light from the darkness, except the one who obtained the light of Allāh in his heart, and has opened up towards it and is pleased with it, so he (as a result of this) walks upon the straight path.

Microsoft word explanation of the nullifiers of islaam.docShahedur
The third nullifier of Islam is to not consider polytheists and those of other religions as disbelievers. This includes doubting their disbelief or thinking their beliefs are correct. One must firmly believe that Jews, Christians, and followers of other faiths are misguided and upon false religions in order to have true Islamic belief in one God (tawheed). Not rejecting worship of others beside God means one has not rejected false deities (taaghoot) which is necessary for proper tawheed.

The famous Risalah Aslu Din Al-Islam (The foundation of the religion of Islam) written by Shaykh Al-Islam Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab.

Why is the paradise only for those who believe and have good deeds? Belief only is not good enough, and good deeds only is not good enough.
First, logically you cannot be something you deny. You will not go to a school if you deny there is a school. Same thing you cannot go to the paradise if you deny it.
Second, the paradise in hereafter will be for those who try to make the worldly life as a paradise on the earth, by improving it and helping others. That is the good deeds.
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 provides a summary of 128 aspects of belief and practices that were prevalent during the Days of Ignorance that Islam opposed. The most important aspect was the lack of faith in the heart for what the Prophet Muhammad came with. If one approves of the ways of the Days of Ignorance, it leads to total ruin. The first aspect discussed is how they would worship other beings alongside God, desiring their intercession, which Islam forbids and requires sincerity in worshipping God alone. This dividing of religion was the greatest matter the Prophet opposed and led to the legislation of jihad.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

1. The Three
Fundamental
Principles
Of the Imaam and Mujaddid
Muhammad bin ‘Abdil-Wahhaab
[Died 1206H]
- may Allaah have mercy on him -
Translated by

3. “The Three Fundamental Principles” of Imaam Muhammad bin ‘Abdil-Wahhaab
The Three Fundamental Principles
In the Name of Allaah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy.
Know, may Allaah have mercy on you, that we are obligated to learn four matters:
First: Knowledge, which means: awareness of Allaah, awareness of His Prophet, and
awareness of the Religion of Islaam, based on evidences.
Second: Acting on this.
Third: Calling to it.
Fourth: Patience with the harm that befalls due to it.
The proof for this is Allaah’s saying:
َاﻟﻌﺼﺮ . إن اﻟِﻧ َﺎن ﻟ ِﻲ ﺧﺴْﺮ ٍ إﱠﺎ اﻟ ِﻳﻦ ﺁﻣ ُﻮا وﻋﻤُﻮا اﻟ ﱠﺎﻟ َﺎت وﺗ َاﺹﻮْا ِﺎﻟﺤﻖ
ِﻟ ﱠﺬ َ َﻨ َ َ ِﻠ ﺼ ِﺤ ِ َ َﻮ َ ﺑ ْ َ ﱢ ُ و ْ َ ْ ِ ِ ﱠ ْﺈ ﺴ َ َﻔ
وﺗ َاﺹﻮْا ِﺎﻟﺼﺒﺮ
ِ ْ َ َﻮ َ ﺑ ﱠ
“In the Name of Allaah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy. By the time!
Verily mankind is at loss – except for those who believe and perform righteous
deeds, and advise one another towards the truth and advise one another
towards patience.” [Surah Al-‘Asr]
Ash-Shaafi’ee, may Allaah have mercy on him, said: “Had Allaah not sent down a
proof to His creation other than this surah (chapter), it would have been sufficient for
them.”
Al-Bukhaaree, may Allaah have mercy on him, said: “Chapter: Knowledge comes
before speech and action.”
The proof for this is Allaah’s saying:
َﺎﻋﻠﻢ أ ﱠﻪ َﺎ إﻟﻪ إﱠﺎ اﻟﻠﻪ َاﺱﺘﻐﻔﺮ ﻟ َﻧﺒﻚ
َ ِ ﻓ َْ ْ َﻧ ُ ﻟ َِ َ ِﻟ ﱠ ُ و ْ َ ْ ِ ْ ِﺬ
“So know that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allaah, and seek
forgiveness for your sins.” [Surah Muhammad: 19] So He began by mentioning
knowledge before speech and action.

4. “The Three Fundamental Principles” of Imaam Muhammad bin ‘Abdil-Wahhaab
Know, may Allaah have mercy on you, that it is obligatory upon every Muslim male
and female to learn and act upon the following three things:
First: That Allaah created us, provided sustenance for us, and did not leave us
neglected. Rather, He sent a Messenger to us. So whoever obeys him will enter
Paradise, whereas whoever disobeys him will enter the Hellfire.
The proof for this is Allaah’s statement:
إ ﱠﺎ أرﺱﻠ َﺎإﻟﻴﻜﻢ ر ُﻮًﺎ َﺎه ًا ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ آ َﺎ أرﺱﻠ َﺎ إَﻰ ﻓﺮﻋﻮْن َر ُﻮًﺎ . ﻓﻌ َﻰ ﻓﺮﻋﻮن

اﻟﺮ ُﻮل ﻓﺄﺧﺬ َﺎﻩ أﺧ ًا و ِﻴًﺎ
ﱠﺱ َ ََ َ ْﻧ ُ َ ْﺬ َﺑ ﻠ
“Verily, We sent to you a Messenger, to be a witness over you, just as we sent a
Messenger to Pharaoh. But Pharaoh disobeyed the Messenger (i.e. Moosaa) so
We seized him with a severe punishment” [Surah Al-Muzzammil: 15-16]
Second: Allaah is not pleased with anyone being mixed into worship with Him –
neither an angel brought close nor a prophet that was sent.
The proof for this is:
وأ ﱠﺎﻟﻤ َﺎﺟﺪ ﻟﻠﻪ ﻓَﺎ ﺗﺪ ُﻮا ﻣﻊ اﻟﻠﻪ أﺡ ًا
ََﻧ ْ َﺴ ِ َ ِﱠ ِ َﻠ َ ْﻋ َ َ ﱠ ِ َ َﺪ
“And verily the masaajid belong to Allaah, so do not call unto anyone along with
Allaah.” [Surah Al-Jinn: 18]
Third: Whoever obeys the Messenger (i.e. Muhammad) and singles Allaah out (in
worship), it is not permissible for him to take as allies those who oppose Allaah and
His Messenger, not even if they are close relatives.
The proof for this is Allaah’s saying:
َﺎ ﺗﺠﺪ ﻗﻮ ًﺎ ﻳﺆﻣ ُﻮن ِﺎﻟﻠﻪ َاﻟﻴﻮم اﻟْﺂﺧﺮ ﻳ َا ﱡون ﻣﻦ َﺎد اﻟﻠﻪ ور ُﻮﻟﻪ وﻟﻮ َﺎ ُﻮا ﺁ َﺎءهﻢ

5. “The Three Fundamental Principles” of Imaam Muhammad bin ‘Abdil-Wahhaab
“You will not find any people who believe in Allaah and the Last Day making
friendship with those who oppose Allaah and His Messenger, even if they are
their fathers or their sons or their brothers or there kindred. For such He has
written Faith in their hearts, and strengthened them with Rooh (light and
guidance) from Himself. And He will admit them into Gardens under which rivers
flow to dwell therein forever. Allaah is pleased with them and they with Him.
They are the party of Allaah. Verily it is the party of Allaah that will be the
successful.” [Surah Al-Mujaadilah: 22]
Know, may Allaah grant you the ability to obey Him, that Al-Haneefiyyah, the Religion
of Ibraaheem, is that you worship Allaah alone, making the religion sincerely (i.e.
solely) for Him. This is what Allaah ordered all of mankind to do, and this is the
purpose for which He created them, as Allaah says:
و َﺎ ﺧﻠﻘﺖ اﻟﺠﻦ َاﻟِﻧﺲ إﱠﺎ ﻟﻴﻌﺒ ُون
ِ َﻣ ََ ْ ُ ْ ِ ﱠ و ْﺈ َ ِﻟ ِ َ ْ ُﺪ
“And I did not create the Jinn and mankind except to worship Me.” [Surah Adh-
Dhaariyaat: 56]
The meaning of “to worship Me” is “to single Me out (in worship).”
The greatest thing that Allaah commanded is Tawheed, which means: Singling Allaah
out in worship. And the greatest thing that Allaah warned against is Shirk, which is:
Supplicating to others along with Him.
The proof for this is Allaah’s statement:
َاﻋﺒ ُوا اﻟﻠﻪ وﻻ ﺗﺸﺮ ُﻮا ﺑﻪ ﺷﻴ ًﺎ
و ْ ُﺪ ْ ّ َ َ َ ُ ْ ِآ ْ ِ ِ َ ْﺌ
“And worship Allaah (alone) and do not mix anything (in worship) with Him.”
[Surah An-Nisaa: 36]
So if it said to you: What are the three fundamental principles that mankind is obligated
to know?
Then say: That the servant knows his Lord, his Religion and his Prophet Muhammad,
may the peace and blessings of Allaah be on him.
Al-Ibaanah E-Books 5 Al-Ibaanah.Com
6. “The Three Fundamental Principles” of Imaam Muhammad bin ‘Abdil-Wahhaab
The First Fundamental Principle:
So if it is said: Who is your Lord?
Then say: My Lord is Allaah, the One who nurtured me and nurtured all of creation
through His favors. And He is the One whom I worship, there being to me no (false)
deity worshipped that is equal to Him.
The proof for this is Allaah’s statement:
اﻟﺤﻤﺪ ﻟﻠﻪ رب اﻟ َﺎﻟ ِﻴﻦ
َ ْ َ ْ ُ ّ ِ َ ﱢ ْﻌ َﻤ
“All praise be to Allaah, Lord of the ‘Alameen (i.e. all of creation).” [Surah Al-
Faatihah: 1]
The word ‘Aalam refers to everything apart from Allaah, and I am part of that creation.
So if it is said to you: How did you come to know of your Lord?
Then say: By way of His signs and His creations. And among His signs are the night
and the day, and the sun and the moon. And among His creations are the seven
(levels of) heaven and the seven (levels of) earth, as well as whoever [and whatever]
lies in them and between them. The proof for this is Allaah’s statement:
وﻣﻦ ﺁ َﺎﺗﻪ اﻟﻠﻴﻞ َاﻟﻨ َﺎر َاﻟﺸﻤﺲ َاﻟﻘﻤﺮ َﺎ ﺗﺴﺠ ُوا ِﻠﺸﻤﺲ وَﺎ ﻟﻠﻘﻤﺮ َاﺱﺠ ُوا ﻟﻠﻪ

“And from among His signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the
moon. Do not prostrate yourselves to the sun or to the moon, but rather
prostrate yourselves to Allaah who created them, if it is He whom you truly
worship.” [Surah Fussilat: 37]
And His statement:

7. “The Three Fundamental Principles” of Imaam Muhammad bin ‘Abdil-Wahhaab
“Verily, your Lord is Allaah, who created the heavens and the earth in six days,
and then rose over the Throne. He brings the night as a cover over the day,
which it follows rapidly. And He made the sun, the moon and the stars subjected
to His Command. Surely, to Him belongs the Creation and the Command.
Blessed is Allaah, Lord of the Worlds.” [Surah Al-A’raaf: 54]
The word Rabb (Lord) means One who is worshipped. The proof for this is Allaah’s
saying:
َﺎ أﻳ َﺎ اﻟ ﱠﺎس اﻋﺒ ُوا ر ﱠﻜﻢ اﻟ ِي ﺧﻠﻘﻜﻢ َاﻟ ِﻳﻦ ِﻦ ﻗﺒﻠﻜﻢ ﻟﻌﻠﻜﻢ ﺗﺘ ُﻮن . اﻟ ِي ﺟﻌﻞ ﻟﻜﻢ

َ َ َ َ ْ َﻠ ْ ِّ ِ أ ﺪ ً َأ ُ ْ َ َْﻤ
“O mankind! Worship your Lord who created you and those before you, so that
you may be dutiful to Him. He is the One who made the earth a resting place for
you, and the sky as a canopy, and sent down water from the sky and brought
forth therewith fruits as a provision for you. So do no set up rivals with Allaah in
worship knowingly.” [Surah Al-Baqarah: 21-22]
Ibn Katheer, may Allaah have mercy on him, said: “The creator of these things is the
One who truly deserves to be worshipped.”
The types of worship that Allaah commanded, such as Islaam, Eemaan and Ihsaan,
which includes: Supplication (Du’aa), Fear (Khawf), Hope (Rajaa), Reliance
(Tawakkul), Longing (Raghbah) and Dreading (Rahbah), Submissiveness (Khushoo’),
Awe (Khashyah), Repentance (Inaabah), Seeking Assistance (Isti’aanah), Seeking
Refuge (Isti’aadhah), Asking for Help (Istighaathah), Offering Sacrifices (Dhabah),
Making Oaths (Nadhar) and all of the other types of worship that Allaah commanded –
all of these belong to Allaah, alone. The proof for this is Allaah’s saying:
وأ ﱠﺎﻟﻤ َﺎﺟﺪ ﻟﻠﻪ ﻓَﺎ ﺗﺪ ُﻮا ﻣﻊ اﻟﻠﻪ أﺡ ًا
ََﻧ ْ َﺴ ِ َ ِﱠ ِ َﻠ َ ْﻋ َ َ ﱠ ِ َ َﺪ
“And the masaajid belong to Allaah, so do not call unto anyone along with
Allaah.” [Surah Al-Jinn: 18]
So whoever directs any part of these (acts of worship) to other than Allaah, then he is
a polytheist, disbeliever. The proof for this is Allaah’s saying:

“And whoever calls unto another god besides Allaah, of which he has no proof
for, his reckoning is only with his Lord. Surely, the disbelievers will not be
successful.” [Surah Al-Mu’minoon: 117]
It is stated in a hadeeth: “The supplication is the core of worship.” 1
The proof for this (i.e. supplication) is Allaah’s saying:
ﻣﻦ ﻋﻤﻞ ﺱﻴﺌﺔ ﻓَﺎ ﻳﺠ َى إﱠﺎ ﻣﺜﻠ َﺎ وﻣﻦ ﻋﻤﻞ َﺎﻟ ًﺎ ﱢﻦ ذآﺮ أو ُﻧ َﻰ وهﻮ ﻣﺆﻣﻦ

“And your Lord says: ‘Supplicate to Me, I will respond to you. Verily those who
are to proud to worship Me will enter the Hellfire in disgrace.’” [Surah Ghaafir: 40]
The proof for Fear (khawf) is Allaah’s saying:
ﻓﻼ ﺗ َﺎ ُﻮهﻢ و َﺎ ُﻮن ِن ُﻨ ُﻢ ﻣﺆﻣ ِﻴﻦ

“So do not fear them, but fear Me if you are true believers.” [Surah Aali ‘Imraan:
175]
The proof for Hope (Rajaa) is Allaah’s saying:
ﻓ َﻦ َﺎن ﻳﺮ ُﻮ ﻟ َﺎء رﺑﻪ ﻓﻠﻴﻌﻤﻞ ﻋﻤًﺎ َﺎﻟ ًﺎ وَﺎ ﻳﺸﺮك ﺑﻌ َﺎدة رﺑﻪ أﺡ ًا

“So whoever hopes to meet his Lord, then let him perform righteous deeds, and
not mix anyone into the worship of his Lord.” [Surah Al-Kahf: 110]
The proof for Reliance (Tawakkul) is Allaah’s saying:
وﻋَﻰ اﻟﻠﻪ ﻓﺘﻮآُﻮا ِن ُﻨ ُﻢ ﻣﺆﻣ ِﻴﻦ

Reported by At-Tirmidhee with a weak chain of narration. However it is authentically reported from
An-Nu’maan bin Basheer with the wording: “The supplication is worship.” This was reported by
Ahmad (18351), At-Tirmidhee and others with an authentic chain of narration. Refer to Saheeh al-
Jaami’-us-Sagheer (3407) as well as Da’eef al-Jaami’-us-Sagheer (3003), both from Imaam Al-
Albaanee, rahimahullaah.

And in the hadeeth: “When you ask for assistance then seek assistance in
Allaah.” 2
The proof for Seeking Refuge (Isti’aadhah) is Allaah’s saying:
ﻗﻞ أ ُﻮذ ﺑﺮب اﻟﻔﻠﻖ
ِ َ َ ْ ُ ْ َﻋ ُ ِ َ ﱢ
“Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the Daybreak.” [Surah Al-Falaq: 1] And:

ْ ُ َ َ ِ ْ َ ْ َﻐ ﺜ َ َ ﱠ ُ ْ ﻓ ْ َﺠ
“And remember when you sought help from your Lord and He responded to
you…” [Surah Al-Anfaal: 9]
The proof for offering sacrifices (Dhabah) is Allaah’s saying:

“Say: Verily my prayer, my sacrificial offerings, my living and my dying are for
Allaah, Lord of the Worlds. He has no partner. And of this I have been
commanded, and I am the first of the Muslims.” [Surah Al-An’aam: 162-163]

An authentic hadeeth based on its several paths of narration, reported by Ahmad and At-Tirmidhee.
The first part of it is: “O young lad. I will teach you some words: Safeguard Allaah and you will
find Him before you; If you ask (for something), then ask (it from) Allaah; and when you ask for
assistance, then seek assistance in Allaah.” The remainder of the hadeeth as occurs in al-Mishkaat
(5302) is: “And know that if the ummah were to gather together to benefit you with something,
they would not be able to benefit you except with something that Allaah has already written for
you. And if they were to gather together to harm you with something, they would not be able to
harm you except with something that Allaah has already written against you. The pens have been
lifted and the pages have dried.” Refer to Saheeh al-Jaami’-us-Sagheer (7957) and Saheeh Sunan At-
Tirmidhee (2043) of Imaam Al-Albaanee, rahimahullaah.

11. “The Three Fundamental Principles” of Imaam Muhammad bin ‘Abdil-Wahhaab
And from the Sunnah is: “May Allaah curse the one who offers a sacrifice to other
than Allaah.” 3
The proof for Making Oaths (Nadhar) is Allaah’s saying:
ُﻮ ُﻮن ِﺎﻟﻨﺬر وﻳ َﺎ ُﻮن َﻳﻮ ًﺎ َﺎن ﺷ ﱡﻩ ﻣﺴﺘ ِﻴ ًا

This is a portion of a hadeeth found in Saheeh Muslim on the authority of ‘Alee . The complete
hadeeth reads: “May Allaah curse the one who curses his father. And may Allaah curse the one
who offers a sacrifice to other than Allaah. And may Allaah curse the one who accommodates an
innovator.” This hadeeth is found in the Musnad of Imaam Ahmad (no. 953 and 1305). Also refer to

12. “The Three Fundamental Principles” of Imaam Muhammad bin ‘Abdil-Wahhaab
The Second Fundamental Principle:
Knowing the Religion of Islaam, based on evidences. This (i.e. Islaam) means
submitting to Allaah by way of Tawheed, surrendering one’s (full) obedience to Him,
and absolving oneself from Shirk and its people. This can be divided into three levels:
1. Islaam
2. Eemaan, and
3. Ihsaan
Each one of these levels has its own pillars.
The Level of Islaam:
The pillars of Islaam are five: (1) The testimony that there is no deity that has the right
to be worshipped except Allaah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah; (2)
Establishing the Prayer; (3) Giving the Zakaat; (4) Fasting in Ramadaan; (5)
Performing Hajj to Allaah’s Sacred House.
The proof for the testimony of Faith is Allaah’s saying:
ﺷﻬﺪ اﻟﻠﻪ أ ﱠﻪ ﻻ إَـﻪ إﻻ هﻮ َاﻟﻤﻼﺉﻜﺔ وأوُﻮا اﻟﻌﻠﻢ َﺂﺉﻤﺎ ِﺎﻟﻘﺴﻂ ﻻ إَـﻪ إﻻ هﻮ اﻟﻌ ِﻳﺰ
ُ َ ِ َ ّ ُ َﻧ ُ َ ِﻟ َ ِ ﱠ ُ َ و ْ َ َ ِ َ ُ َُ ْﻟ ْ ْ ِ ْ ِ ﻗ ِ ًَ ﺑ ْ ِ ْ ِ َ ِﻟ َ ِ ﱠ ُ َ ْ َﺰ
اﻟﺤ ِﻴﻢ
ُ ْ َﻜ
“Allaah bears witness that there is no deity that has the right to be worshipped
except Him, and so do the angels and those who possess knowledge. He is
always maintaining His creation with justice. None has the right to be
worshipped but Him – the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.” [Surah Aali ‘Imraan: 18]
The meaning of it (i.e. the testimony of Faith) is: There is no one that has the right to
be worshipped except Allaah, alone. Laa Ilaaha negates everything that is worshipped
besides Allaah, while IllaaAllaah affirms the worship of only Allaah, free from any
partner being mixed in with His worship, just as there is no partner mixed in with His
Dominion.
An explanation of this, which will clarify it further, is found in Allaah’s saying:
وإذ َﺎل إﺑ َا ِﻴﻢ ﻟﺄ ِﻴﻪ وﻗﻮﻣﻪ إﻧ ِﻲ ﺑ َاء ﻣ ﱠﺎ ﺗﻌﺒ ُون . إﱠﺎ اﻟ ِي ﻓﻄﺮ ِﻲ ﻓﺈﻧﻪ ﺱﻴﻬ ِﻳﻦ

13. “The Three Fundamental Principles” of Imaam Muhammad bin ‘Abdil-Wahhaab
“And remember when Ibraaheem said to his father and to his people: ‘Verily, I
am free from all that you worship – except for He who created Me, and verily He
will guide me.’ And He made it a statement that will endure among his offspring
that they may turn back to.” [Surah Az-Zukhruf: 26-28]
And Allaah’s saying:
ﻗﻞ َﺎ أهﻞ اﻟﻜ َﺎب ﺗ َﺎﻟﻮا إَﻰ آﻠﻤﺔ ﺱ َاء ﺑﻴﻨ َﺎ وﺑﻴﻨﻜﻢ أﻻ ﻧﻌﺒﺪ إﻻ اﻟﻠﻪ وﻻ ﻧﺸﺮك ﺑﻪ

“Say: ‘O People of the Scripture (i.e. Jews and Christians)! Come to a word that
is just between us and you – that we worship none but Allaah alone and that we
associate no partners with Him; and that none of us shall take others as lords
besides Allaah.’ Then if they turn away, say: ‘Bear witness that we are
Muslims.’” [Surah Aali ‘Imraan: 64]
The proof for testifying that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah is His saying:
ﻟﻘﺪ َﺎءآﻢ ر ُﻮل ﻣﻦ َﻧﻔﺴﻜﻢ ﻋ ِﻳﺰ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ َﺎ ﻋﻨﺘﻢ ﺡ ِﻳﺺ ﻋﻠﻴ ُﻢ ِﺎﻟﻤﺆﻣ ِﻴﻦ ر ُوف

ر ِﻴﻢ
ٌ ﱠﺡ
“Verily there has come to you a Messenger from amongst yourselves. It grieves
him that you should receive any injury or difficulty. He is anxious over you (to be
guided) and he is full of kindness and mercy towards the believers.” [Surah At-
Tawbah: 128]
The meaning of testifying that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah is: Obeying him
in what he has commanded, believing him in what he has informed us of, avoiding
what he forbade and warned against, and not worshipping Allaah except by what he
prescribed.
The proof for Prayer and Zakaat and the explanation of Tawheed is found in Allaah’s
saying:
و َﺎ أﻣ ُوا إﱠﺎ ﻟﻴﻌﺒ ُوا اﻟﱠﻪ َﻣﺨﻠ ِﻴﻦ ﻟﻪ اﻟ ﱢﻳﻦ ﺡﻨ َﺎء وﻳ ِﻴ ُﻮا اﻟﺼَﺎة وﻳﺆُﻮا اﻟﺰ َﺎة

“And they were not commanded except that they should worship Allaah, making
the religion (i.e. worship) solely for Him alone, and that they should perform the
prayer and give the Zakaat. And that is the right Religion.” [Surah Al-Bayyinah: 5]
The proof for Fasting is Allaah’s saying:
َﺎ أﻳ َﺎ اﻟ ِﻳﻦ ﺁﻣ ُﻮا آﺘﺐ ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ اﻟﺼ َﺎم آ َﺎ آﺘﺐ ﻋَﻰ اﻟ ِﻳﻦ ِﻦ ﻗﺒﻠﻜﻢ ﻟﻌﻠﻜﻢ ﺗﺘ ُﻮن

“O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you just as it was prescribed for
those before you, in order that you may acquire Taqwaa (dutifulness to Allaah).”
[Surah Al-Baqarah: 183]
The proof for Hajj is Allaah’s saying:
وﻟﻠﻪ ﻋَﻰ اﻟ ﱠﺎس ﺡﺞ اﻟﺒﻴﺖ ﻣﻦ اﺱﺘ َﺎع إﻟﻴﻪ ﺱ ِﻴﻼ و َﻦ آﻔﺮ ﻓﺈن اﷲ ﻏﻨﻲ َﻦ

“And the Hajj (pilgrimage) to the House (Ka’bah) is a duty that mankind owes to
Allaah for those who are able to do it. And whoever disbelieves (by denying
Hajj), then indeed Allaah is not in need of any of His creation.” [Surah Aali
‘Imraan: 97]
The Level of Eemaan:
Eemaan consists of more than seventy branches. The highest of them is saying Laa
Ilaaha IllaaAllaah and the lowest of them is moving a harmful object from the road.
And Hayaa (modesty) is a branch from Eemaan. 4
Its pillars are six: (1) That you believe in Allaah, (2) His angels, (3) His books, (4) His
Messengers, (5) the Last Day, and (6) that you believe in Al-Qadar (Divine Pre-
Decree) – the good of it and the bad of it.
The proof for these six pillars is Allaah’s statement:
ﻟﻴﺲ اﻟﺒﺮ َن ﺗﻮﱡﻮا و ُﻮهﻜﻢ ﻗﺒﻞ اﻟﻤﺸﺮق َاﻟﻤﻐﺮب وَـﻜﻦ اﻟﺒﺮ ﻣﻦ ﺁﻣﻦ ِﺎﻟﻠﻪ َاﻟﻴﻮم

“Righteousness (birr) is not that you turn your faces towards the east and the
west (in prayer), but rather righteousness (birr) is (for) the one who believes in
Allaah, the Last Day, the Angels, the Books and the Prophets.” [Surah Al-
Baqarah: 177]
And the proof for Al-Qadar (Pre-Decree) is Allaah’s saying:
إ ﱠﺎ آ ﱠ ﺷﻲء ﺧﻠﻘ َﺎﻩ ﺑﻘﺪر
ٍ َ َ ِ ُ ِﻧ ُﻞ َ ْ ٍ ََ ْﻨ
“Verily, We have created all things with Qadar (divine pre-decree ordained for
it).” [Surah Al-Qamar: 49]
The Level of Ihsaan:
Ihsaan is one pillar, which means: To worship Allaah as if you see Him, but even if you
don’t see Him, He indeed sees you. 5
The proof for this is Allaah’s saying:
إن اﻟﻠﻪ ﻣﻊ اﻟ ِﻳﻦ اﺗ َﻮا ﱠاﻟ ِﻳﻦ ُﻢ ﻣﺤﺴ ُﻮن
َ ِ ﱠ ّ َ َ َ ﱠﺬ َ ﱠﻘ ْ و ﱠﺬ َ ه ﱡ ْ ِﻨ
“Verily, Allaah is with those who have Taqwaa (dutifulness to Allaah) and those
who have Ihsaan.” [Surah An-Nahl: 128]

“There is no deed that you (O Muhammad) do, nor any portion of the Qur’aan
that you recite, nor any deed that you (humans) do, except that We are
witnesses to it, whilst you are doing it.” [Surah Yoonus: 61]
The proof from the Sunnah is the famous hadeeth of Jibreel, which is reported from
‘Umar bin Al-Khattaab who said: “One day we were sitting with the Prophet when
there appeared to us a man with extremely white garments and extremely black hair.
No trace of journeying could be seen on him nor did any amongst us recognize him.
Then he sat in front of the Prophet, lining up his knees with his knees and placing
his palms upon his thighs, and said: ‘O Muhammad, inform me about Islaam.’ So he
said: ‘It is that you testify that there is no deity that has the right to be
worshipped except Allaah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah. And
that you establish the prayer, give the Zakaat, fast during Ramadaan and
perform the Hajj (pilgrimage) to (Allaah’s) House, if you are able to do it.’ He
said: ‘You have spoken truthfully.’ So we were amazed that he had asked him and
then told him that he was truthful.
Then he said: ‘Now inform me about Eemaan.’ So he said: ‘It is that you believe in
Allaah, His angels, His (revealed) books, His messengers, the Last Day, and that
you believe in Al-Qadar, the good of it and the bad of it.’ He said: ‘You have
spoken truthfully. Now inform me about Ihsaan.
He said: ‘It is that you worship Allaah as if you see Him, but even though you
don’t see Him, He indeed sees you.’
He then said: ‘Now inform me about the (Final) Hour.’ He said: ‘The one who is
being asked does not have any more knowledge of it than the one who is
asking.’ He said: ‘So then inform me about its signs.’ He said: ‘It will be when the
mother gives birth to her (female) master, when the barefooted, barren and lowly
shepherds will compete with one another in constructing tall buildings.’
Then he left and we remained (seated) there for a while. Then he said: ‘O ‘Umar,
do you know who the questioner was?’ I said: ‘Allaah and His Messenger know
best.’ He said: ‘That was Jibreel who came to you to teach you your Religion.’”

17. “The Three Fundamental Principles” of Imaam Muhammad bin ‘Abdil-Wahhaab
The Third Fundamental Principle
Knowledge of your Prophet, Muhammad: He is Muhammad, the son of ‘Abdullaah, the
son of ‘Abdul-Mutallib bin Haashim. Haashim was from the (the tribe of) Quraysh and
Quraysh was from the Arabs. And the Arabs are from the offspring of (Prophet)
Isma’eel, son of (Prophet) Ibraaheem. May Allaah send the best of His peace and
blessings on him and on our Prophet (Muhammad) .
He lived for sixty-three years, forty of which was prior to his prophethood and twenty-
three of which he spent as a prophet, messenger. He became a prophet due to
(Allaah’s saying): “ اﻗﺮأRead” [Surah ‘Alaq: 1] and a messenger due to:
َْ ْ َﺎ أﻳ َﺎ اﻟﻤ ﱠ ﱢﺮ
ُ ﻳ َ ﱡﻬ ْ ُﺪﺛ
“O you wrapped in garments.” [Surah Al-Muddathir: 1]
His homeland was Makkah, and he (later) migrated to Madeenah. Allaah sent him to
warn against Shirk (polytheism) and to call to Tawheed (pure monotheism). The proof
for this is Allaah’s saying:
َﺎ أﻳ َﺎ اﻟﻤﺪ ﱢﺮ . ﻗﻢ ﻓَﻧﺬر . ورﺑﻚ ﻓﻜﺒﺮ . وﺛ َﺎﺑﻚ ﻓﻄﻬﺮ . َاﻟﺮﺟﺰ َﺎهﺠﺮ . وَﺎ ﺗﻤ ُﻦ
ﻳ َ ﱡﻬ ْ ُ ﱠﺛ ُ ْ َﺄ ِ ْ َ َﱠ َ َ َ ﱢ ْ َ ِﻴ َ َ َ َ ﱢ ْ و ﱡ ْ َﻓ ْ ُ ْ َﻟ َ ْﻨ
ﺗﺴﺘﻜﺜﺮ . وﻟﺮﺑﻚ ﻓﺎﺹﺒﺮ
ْ ِ ْ َ َ َ ْ َ ْ ِ ُ َِ َ ﱢ
“O you wrapped in garments. Rise and warn! And magnify your Lord (Allaah).
And purify your garments. And abandon ar-rujz (idols). And do not give away
something in order to have more. And be patient for the sake of your Lord.”
[Surah Al-Muddathir: 1-7]
The meaning of: “Rise and warn” is warn against Shirk and call to Tawheed. “And
magnify your Lord” means glorify Him by way of Tawheed. “And purify your
garments” means cleanse your actions from Shirk. “And abandon ar-rujz.” “Rujz”
means statues, and “Abandon” means leave them and free yourself from them and
those who worship them. He remained doing this for ten years, calling the people to
Tawheed. And after ten years, he was ascended up to the heaven, where the five daily
prayers were made obligatory on him. So he prayed in Makkah for three years and
thereafter, he was ordered to make the Hijrah (migration) to Madeenah.
Hijrah means Moving from a land of Shirk to a land of Islaam. It is obligatory upon this
ummah to migrate from a land of Shirk to a land of Islaam, and this is everlasting until
the (Final) Hour is established. The proof for this is Allaah’s saying:

"Verily, as for those whom the angels take (in death) while they are wronging
themselves (by not performing Hijrah), they (angels) will say (to them): 'In what
(condition) were you?' They will reply: 'We were weak and oppressed in the
earth.' They (angels) will say: 'Was not the earth of Allaah spacious enough for
you to migrate therein?' Such men will find their abode in Hell – what an evil
destination! Except the weak ones among men, and women and children – who
cannot devise a plan, nor are they able to direct their way. These are the ones
whom Allaah is (most) likely to forgive, and Allaah is Ever Oft-Pardoning, Most
Forgiving.” [Surah An-Nisaa: 97-99]
And Allaah’s saying:
َﺎ ﻋ َﺎدي اﻟ ِﻳﻦ ﺁﻣ ُﻮا إن أر ِﻲ َاﺱﻌﺔ ﻓﺈ ﱠﺎي َﺎﻋﺒ ُون
ِ ﻳ ِﺒ ِ َ ﱠﺬ َ َﻨ ِ ﱠ َ ْﺿ و ِ َ ٌ َِﻳ َ ﻓ ْ ُﺪ
“O My servants who believe (in Me)! Verily, My earth is spacious so to Me alone,
perform your worship.” [Surah Al-‘Ankaboot: 56]
Al-Baghawee, may Allaah have mercy on him, said: “The reason for the revelation of
this ayah was due to some Muslims who had resided in Makkah and did not migrate
(to Madeenah). Allaah called out to them using the title of Eemaan (for them).”
The proof for Hijrah from the Sunnah is his saying: “Hijrah will not cease until
repentance ceases. And repentance will not cease (to be accepted) until the sun
rises from where it sets (i.e. the west).” 7
So when he settled in Madeenah, he commanded all of the remaining Laws of
Islaam, such as Zakaat, Fasting, Hajj, Adhaan, Jihaad, commanding good and
forbidding evil, as well as the other laws of Islaam. He remained doing this for ten
years, and then passed away, peace and blessings of Allaah be on him, while his
Religion remained.

part of it is found in Saheeh Muslim from the narration of Abu Hurairah .

This was his Religion – there was no good except that he directed his ummah towards
it, and there was no evil except that he warned them against it. The good that he
directed his ummah to was: Tawheed and everything that Allaah loves and is pleased
with. The evil that he warned his ummah about was: Shirk and everything that Allaah
hates and rejects.
Allaah sent him to all of mankind, and He made it an obligation upon everyone from
the two species of Jinn and mankind to obey him. The proof for this is Allaah’s saying:
ﻗﻞ َﺎ أﻳ َﺎ اﻟ ﱠﺎس إ ﱢﻲ ر ُﻮل اﻟﻠﻪ إﻟﻴﻜﻢ ﺟ ِﻴ ًﺎ
ُ ْ ﻳ َ ﱡﻬ ﻨ ُ ِﻧ َﺱ ُ ّ ِ َِ ْ ُ ْ َﻤ ﻌ
“Say: ‘O people! Verily, I am the Messenger of Allaah sent to all of you.’” [Surah
Al-A’raaf: 158]
Allaah perfected and completed his Religion through him . The proof for this is
Allaah’s saying:
اﻟﻴﻮم أآﻤﻠﺖ ﻟﻜﻢ ِﻳﻨﻜﻢ وأﺗﻤﻤﺖ ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ ﻧﻌﻤ ِﻲ ور ِﻴﺖ ﻟﻜﻢ اﻹﺱﻼم ِﻳ ًﺎ

“This day8 I have completed your Religion for you, and perfected my Favor upon
you. And I am pleased with Islaam as a Religion for you.” [Surah Al-Maa’idah: 3]
The proof that he died is Allaah’s saying:
إﻧﻚ ﻣﻴﺖ وإﻧ ُﻢ ﻣﻴ ُﻮن . ﺛ ﱠ إﻧﻜﻢ ﻳﻮم اﻟﻘ َﺎﻣﺔ ِﻨﺪ رﺑﻜﻢ ﺗﺨﺘﺼ ُﻮن
َ ِ ﱠ َ َ ﱢ ٌ َِ ﱠﻬ ﱠ ﱢﺘ َ ُﻢ ِ ﱠ ُ ْ َ ْ َ ْ ِﻴ َ ِ ﻋ َ َ ﱢ ُ ْ َ ْ َ ِﻤ
“You will surely die and they too will surely die. Then on the Day of
Recompense, you will be disputing before your Lord.” [Surah Az-Zumar: 30-31]
When people die they will be resurrected. The proof for this is Allaah’s saying:
ﻣﻨ َﺎ ﺧﻠﻘ َﺎآﻢ و ِﻴ َﺎ ﻧ ِﻴﺪآﻢ وﻣﻨ َﺎ ﻧﺨﺮﺟﻜﻢ َﺎرة أﺧ َى
ِ ْﻬ ََ ْﻨ ُ ْ َﻓ ﻬ ُﻌ ُ ُ ْ َ ِ ْﻬ ُ ْ ِ ُ ُ ْ ﺗ َ ً ُ ْﺮ
“From it (the earth) We created you, and to it We shall return you, and from it We
shall bring you out once again.” [Surah TaHa: 55]

Translator’s Note: What is meant by “This Day” is the day of Jumu’ah (Friday), which occurred on
the Day of ‘Arafah after ‘Asr during the Prophet’s farewell pilgrimage. This is what has been related in
the Saheeh of Imaam Al-Bukhaaree from ‘Umar bin Al-Khattaab .

And Allaah’s saying:

“Allaah has brought you forth from the earth. Afterwards, He will return you into
it and (then) bring you forth (once again, i.e. resurrection).” [Surah Nooh: 17-18]
After being resurrected, they will be judged and recompensed for their actions. The
proof for this is Allaah’s saying:
وﻟﻠﻪ ﻣﺎ ِﻲ اﻟﺴ َﺎ َات و َﺎ ِﻲ اﻟﺄرض ﻟﻴﺠﺰي اﻟ ِﻳﻦ أ َﺎ ُوا ﺑ َﺎ ﻋﻤُﻮا وﻳﺠﺰي اﻟ ِﻳﻦ

َ ْ َﻨ ﺑ ْ ُ ْﻨ
“And to Allaah belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, that
He may recompense those who do evil with that which they have done (i.e.
Hellfire), and reward those who do good with what is best (i.e. Paradise).” [Surah
An-Najm: 31]
Whoever rejects the resurrection, disbelieves. The proof for this is Allaah’s saying:
زﻋﻢ اﻟ ِﻳﻦ آﻔ ُوا َن ﱠﻦ ﻳﺒﻌ ُﻮا ُﻞ ْﺑَﻰ ورﱢﻲ ﻟﺘﺒﻌﺜ ﱠ ﺛ ﱠ ﻟﺘﻨ ﱠﺆ ﱠ ﺑ َﺎ ﻋﻤﻠﺘﻢ وذِﻚ َﻋَﻰ

“The disbelievers claim they will never be resurrected. Say (O Muhammad):
‘Yes, by my Lord! You will certainly be resurrected then you will be informed of
what deeds you did.’ And that is easy for Allaah.” [Surah At-Taghaabun: 7]
Allaah sent all of the messengers, giving good tidings and warning. The proof for this
is Allaah’s saying:
رﺱﻼ ﻣﺒﺸ ِﻳﻦ و ُﻨﺬ ِﻳﻦ ﻟﺌﻼ ﻳ ُﻮن ِﻠ ﱠﺎس ﻋَﻰ اﻟﻠﻪ ﺡﺠﺔ ﺑﻌﺪ اﻟﺮﺱﻞ

“Messengers bearing good news and warning – in order that mankind could
have no plea against Allaah after (the coming of) the Messengers.” [Surah An-
Nisaa: 165]
The first of them was Nooh and the last of them was Muhammad, who was the Seal of
the Prophets.
Al-Ibaanah E-Books 20 Al-Ibaanah.Com
21. “The Three Fundamental Principles” of Imaam Muhammad bin ‘Abdil-Wahhaab
The proof that Nooh was the first of them is Allaah’s saying:
إ ﱠﺎ أوﺡﻴ َﺎ إﻟﻴﻚ آ َﺎ أوﺡﻴ َﺎ إَﻰ ُﻮح َاﻟﻨﺒ ﱢﻴﻦ ِﻦ ﺑﻌﺪﻩ
ِ ِ ْ َ ِﻧ َ ْ َ ْﻨ َِ ْ َ َﻤ َ ْ َ ْﻨ ِﻟ ﻧ ٍ و ﱠ ِﻴ َ ﻣ
“Verily, We sent the revelation to you (O Muhammad), just as We sent the
revelation to Nooh and the prophets after him.” [Surah An-Nisaa: 163]
Every nation that Allaah sent a messenger to, from Nooh up to Muhammad, he (i.e.
the messenger) would command them to worship Allaah alone and forbid them from
worshipping the Taaghoot. The proof for this is Allaah’s saying:
وﻟﻘﺪ ﺑﻌﺜ َﺎ ِﻲ آ ﱢ أﻣﺔ ر ُﻮﻻ أن اﻋﺒ ُوا اﻟﻠﻪ َاﺟﺘﻨ ُﻮا اﻟ ﱠﺎ ُﻮت
َ ََ َ ْ َ َ ْﻨ ﻓ ُﻞ ُ ﱠ ٍ ﱠﺱ ً َ ِ ْ ُﺪ ْ ّ َ و ْ َ ِﺒ ْ ﻄ ﻏ
“And We have indeed sent a messenger to every nation (saying): ‘Worship
Allaah (alone) and avoid the false deities (Taaghoot).” [Surah An-Nahl: 36]
Allaah obligated all of His servants to disbelieve in the Taaghoot and believe in Allaah.
Ibn Al-Qayyim, may Allaah have mercy on him, said: “The meaning of Taaghoot is
someone or thing for whose sake a worshipper transgresses limits, such as those who
are worshipped, followed or obeyed.”
The Tawaagheet (pl. of Taaghoot) are many, but their heads are five: (1) Iblees (the
Devil), may Allaah curse him; (2) whoever is worshipped while being pleased with that;
(3) whoever calls the people to worship himself; (4) whoever claims to have knowledge
of the Unseen, and (5) whoever rules by other than what Allaah has revealed.
The proof for this is Allaah’s saying:
ﻻ إآ َاﻩ ِﻲ اﻟ ﱢﻳﻦ َﺪ ﺗﺒﻴﻦ اﻟ ﱡﺷﺪ ﻣﻦ اﻟﻐﻲ ﻓﻤﻦ ﻳﻜﻔﺮ ِﺎﻟ ﱠﺎ ُﻮت وﻳﺆ ِﻦ ِﺎﻟﻠﻪ ﻓﻘﺪ

“There is no compulsion in the Religion. Verily, the right path has become
distinct from the wrong path. So whoever disbelieves in the Taaghoot and
believes in Allaah, then he has taken hold of the firmest handhold that will never
break. And Allaah is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.” [Surah Al-Baqarah: 256]
This is what is meant by the statement Laa Ilaaha IllaaAllaah.

And in the hadeeth: “The head of the matter is Islaam and its main pillar is the

And Allaah knows best. May Allaah send His peace and blessings on Muhammad, his

Reported by At-Tabaraanee from Mu’aadh with the wording: “The head of this matter is Islaam.
And whoever submits to Islaam is saved. Its main pillar is the Prayer. And its highest part is
Jihaad. No one will attain it except for the best amongst them.” This is a weak hadeeth, refer to
Da’eef al-Jaami’-us-Sagheer (3077).
