For all the times we felt lonely, and no one was there for us, perhaps it was a nudge from Al-Qarīb Al-Mujīb — saying; “I am still here. Ask Me.”

Allah calls Himself Al-‘Afuww—The Pardoner, The Eliminator of Sins, The Effacer— on five occasions in the Quran. He is the One who can make any sin or mistake disappear. Al-‘Afuww not only forgives but can also remove wrong actions, errors, and faults, leaving no trace of them!

The One who eliminates sins, The Pardoner

‘Afuww comes from the root ‘ayn-faa-waw, which points to three main meanings. The first main meaning is to forgive and pardon and the second is to efface and remove. The third main meaning is to give willingly and more than what is due.

This root appears 35 times in the Quran in four derived forms. Examples of these forms are ‘afaa (forgave), al-‘afwa (the surplus, (to) forgiveness) and wal ‘aafeena (those who pardon).

Linguistically, ‘afw refers to two concepts, one of which is to remove all traces. In the Arabic language it is sometimes used with wind referring to its blowing and removing of footprints etc. The other concept is to willingly give others without constraint. Al-‘Afuww is the One who removes and erases someone’s sins, mistakes, errors and faults and their traces and consequently becomes pleased with one. He is the One who then grants them blessings willingly without even being asked!

Al-‘Afuww Himself says: Indeed, Allah is ever Pardoning and Forgiving [Quran, 4:43] . . . For those it is expected that Allah will pardon them, and Allah is ever Pardoning and Forgiving [Quran, 4:99] and .. If [instead] you show [some] good or conceal it or pardon an offense – indeed, Allah is ever Pardoning and Competent. [Quran, 4:149]

Difference between pardoning and forgiving

Of the five times, Allah’s name Al-‘Afuww is mentioned four times with His name Al-Ghafoor (The Forgiving) in the Quran. Allah ‘azza wa jall might forgive some people and pardon others. Forgiving means that Allah ‘azza wa jall conceals our sins and mistakes and we will not be punished for them on the Day of Judgement. However, they are still there in our book of deeds. When Allah pardons the sins of people, the sins are completely erased from their book of deeds; He will not even remind them of their sins, nor question them, simply because their sins have been removed. Pardon is greater than forgiveness!

Grave sins and pardon in the Quran

Allah’s pardon is mentioned in the Quran along with grave sins, such as Baani Israeel who worshipped the calf: Then We forgave you after that so perhaps you would be grateful. [Quran, 2:52] And those who turned away at the battle of Uhud: Then he turned you back from them [defeated] that He might test you. And He has already forgiven you, and Allah is the possessor of bounty for the believers. [Quran, 3:152] This is the beautiful pardon of Al-‘Afuww!

 How can you live by this Name?

1.Pardon others.

The people who surpress anger and pardon others are the people of Paradise. Al-‘Afuww says: Who spend [in the cause of Allah] during ease and hardship and who restrain anger and who pardon the people – and Allah loves the doers of good [Quran, 3:134] Ibn Katheer mentions: They forgive those who treat them with injustice. Therefore, they do not hold any ill feelings about anyone in their hearts, and this is the most excellent conduct in this regard.

Fight against your ego and ask Al-‘Afuww to help you to not even leave a trace of bad feelings and resentment in your heart. If someone wrongs you, think about your own sins and those who you wronged. Strive to pardon others so that Allah ‘azza wa jall may pardon you!

2. Don’t remind others of their mistakes.

Al-‘Afuww is the One who pardons with no reproach. After overlooking other people’s mistakes or wrong actions towards you, try not to remind them of these bad deeds afterwards. Allah ‘azza wa jall is the One who pardons and never mentions your sins again!

3. Increase your love.

Imagine Allah ‘azza wa jall pardoned all your past sins; not a single sins would be recorded in your book of deeds. Reflect on how much you should love Al-‘Afuww! A beautiful opportunity is Laylatul Qadr, which comes once a year in Ramadhan. Value this crucial night, seek it with your best deeds, and remind yourself that night and every other night how beautiful the pardoning of Allah ‘azza wajal is!

4. Say this dua from your heart.

A beautiful dua with this name is the one the Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam taught Aishah radiyallahu ‘anhaa, when she asked him: “O Messenger of Allah! If I find the Night of Al-Qadr what should I say?” He sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam replied, say:

O Allah! Verily You are the Oft-Pardoning, You love to pardon, so pardon me [Ahmad, At-Tirmidhee, An-Nasaa’i, Ibn Majah] Memorize this dua and beg Al-‘Afuww with is sincerely. Recognize your sins, be humble and then aim high, not only asking your Lord for forgiveness, but for Him to pardon each and every sin you committed!  O Allah, Al-‘Afuww, we know that You can erase all sins. Grant us the strength to pardon others and make us reflect on Your love and blessings upon us. Aid us to obey you and guide us in keep asking You sincerely to pardon all our sins, mistakes, neglect, errors and faults so we will not even be questioned about them on the Day of Judgement, ameen!

The 99 Name of Allah (SWT)

Al-Quddus (The Most Sacred/The Most Holy)

Written in arabic: ٱلْقُدُّوسُ

The One who is pure from any imperfection and clear from children and adversaries for Allah سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ is Al-Qaddus, so far removed of any imperfection. He has no shortcomings, evil is not attributed to Him. The mere mention of being free from defects borders on insult as it implies the possibility of imperfection. He transcends all that we perceive as perfection, it is inconceivable. All sublime attributes belong to Him.

The Qur'an mentions the concept of the Holy Spirit (Ruh al-Qaddus) four times. It is understood that He purifies and makes holy through this spirit. This is the concept of the divine force and influence Allah سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ has over His creatures. Whenever you see either Ruh al-Qaddus or Ruh al-Amin (the faithful or trustworthy spirit, see 26:193 for example) scholars interpret it as being interchangeable with the Angel Jibrel. In the tafsir of Ibn Kathir for Surah Maidah ayah 110, "O `Isa, son of Maryam! Remember My favor to you and to your mother when I supported you with Ruh il-Qudus (Jibril) so that you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity." When Allah سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ mentions the passing of this spirit it's understood as to cast a reflection of His divine characteristics on His creation. It makes a thing pure, and wholesome and removes any imperfections. Isa (as) was gifted with this quality making him infallible.

Al-Wahhab: The Giver of Gifts

Sometimes things happen to us in our lives, and we do not know how to read events. We may suddenly lose all our money, and the first thing that we think of is, “What did I do to deserve this? I was a good Muslim, I tried so hard, why did Allah punish me?” Or perhaps something amazing happens to us, and our reactions range from “Alhamdulilah!” (all praise is to God) to “I just got lucky.”

Our reactions say a lot about us and about our knowledge of and relationship with Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala (exalted is He). If our best friend does something, because we know them, we know how to read their actions and their dealings with us. Unfortunately, we do not know nearly as much about Allah (swt), even though He is closer to us than our jugular vein, and even though He invites us to call Him by His Names:

“ولله الأسماء الحسنى فادعوهُ بها”

“And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them.” (Qur’an, 7:180)

How can we call Him by His Names if we do not know them and if we do not understand them? And what is the purpose of Allah (swt) revealing to us 99 of His Names and His Attributes? It is in order for us to know Him, and through knowing Him, we are able to worship Him better and understand the nature of this world. One of the scholars mentioned a saying:

“If one knows the commander, the commands are easy to follow.”

Al-Wahhab: The Constant Bestower of Gifts

Think of the last time someone gave you a gift—how did you feel? A feeling of joy, love, of being special to the person from whom you received the gift, and sometimes a bit of shame if you feel you didn’t deserve it. Because, in essence, a gift isn’t given in return of anything.

One of Allah’s Beautiful Names is al-Wahhab. The root of this word is hiba, which means a gift. And because Allah (swt) is al-Wahhab, it means that He not only gives gifts once or twice, but He constantly does so. Allah (swt) tells us in the Qur’an:

“أَمْ عِنْدَهُمْ خَزَائِنُ رَحْمَةِ رَبِّكَ الْعَزِيزِ الْوَهَّابِ”

“Or do they have the depositories of the mercy of your Lord, the Exalted in Might, the Bestower?” (Qur’an, 38:9)

So how do we know when Allah (swt) has given us a gift? Rizq (sustenance) is written for us, but we have to work for it. So if in the course of our efforts, we earn $1 million, that is rizq that Allah (swt) had ordained for us. Hiba, on the other hand, is just that—a gift that was not conditioned upon your efforts. When you get a phone call from someone you love, that you felt you missed—that is hiba. When without planning, you are fortunate enough to be able to go on `umrah (the minor pilgrimage), that is hiba. When Allah (swt) brings an amazing person into your life and you are able to improve because of them, that is hiba.

The Connection Between Gifts and Love

“يا داود ذكر عبادي بإحساني، فإن القلوب جبلت على حبِّ من أحسن إليها وبغض من أساء إليها”

[ ورد في الأثر ]

It is stated in the traditions:

“O Dawud [David], remind people of my favors upon them, because the hearts are inclined to love those that do good to it and detest those that do bad to it.”

Who do you give gifts to? In general, you give gifts to someone you are thinking about and someone that you love. Sometimes we give gifts to endear people to us. So think about what that means when Allah (swt) gives you a gift.

Some of us may be thinking, “But I am so far from Allah. Why would He give me gifts out of love?” Subhan Allah (Glory to God)—our Lord is greater than we imagine. He gives us gifts so that we know that we have a God who does not forget about His creation—even when they fall astray. He gives us gifts as a reminder so that we can come close to Him.

Do you want to be a recipient of al-Wahhab?

We are all recipients of the many gifts of Allah (swt). Out of the 6 billion people in this world, He chose you to be of the ummah (community) of His Prophet ﷺ (peace be upon him). That in itself is a gift that we cannot thank Him enough for. If we all reflect on the many personal blessings in our lives, we cannot help but feel special to Allah (swt). Every little gift and every huge blessing was because al-Wahhab wanted to give you, and you specifically, something.

If you want to be a companion of al-Wahhab, then remember to acknowledge His gifts, even if they seem to be minute, and to thank Him.

Allah (swt) says, “If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe,” (Qur’an, 14:7). The more we are conscious of Allah’s gifts to us, the more we are able to increase our love for Him, and recognize how blessed we are.

Moreover, we should use His gifts in His way and in His cause. No one likes for their gifts to be cheapened. If Allah (swt) has given you a gift, do not use it for what He dislikes. If we do that, the gift in question becomes a test that we will be held accountable for.

Finally, be a gift giver yourself. The Prophet ﷺ said, “Give gifts, for this will increase your mutual love,” (Muslim).

Tawheed - The first call of the Messengers

Tawheed is to knowing, believing, declaring, obeying the oneness and uniqueness of Allah. The Oneness of Allah i.e. Tawheed consists of three parts. (i) Tawheed ar-Rububiyyah (Maintaining the Oneness of Allah's Lordship). (ii) Tawheed al-Asma-Was-Sifat (Maintaining the Oneness of Allah's Names and Attributes). (iii) Tawheed al-Ibadah (maintaining unity of worship). Allah is the only 'true Lord'. In all matters related to Allah, Allah is One, Sole, Final, Perfect and without partners. He has no peer or equivalent. Allah is to be known by His most beautiful Names and Perfect Attributes. From the first man and the first Prophet Adam (a.s.) to the last Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, the basic call of all prophets and messengers was 'La ilaha illAllah' (there is no 'true God' but Allah). Namely: 'La Ilaha IllAllah Adamu Shafiullah'', 'La Ilaha IllAllah Nuhun Naziullah'', 'La Ilaha IllAllah Ibrahim Khalilullah', 'La Ilaha IllAllah Muhammadur Rasulullah'. Rejecting Taghut is the root of Tawheed.

Jumu'ah Sohbet; 20 October 2023

What a topsy-turvy birthday time celebrating Yawn un-Nabi (Prophet Muhammad's SAW birthday month) towards the end of September 2023 and even Ammu's spiritually significant 40th birthday in early October 2023. Culminating to the turbulent time in the Muslim world, starting with Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Syria, even Sudan of Africa - the country where your Uncle Bashir and Aunty Amira are from - and ending with the recent destruction of the Palestinians of Gaza. We will reflect on what it means as an ummah (Muslim community) and the ways that we can approach it. Bismillah...

#1. We began reflecting with Shaykh Nishaat's micro-world of his family's journey from India at the end of WWII in 1942 to South Africa, which underwent its own political transformation from apartheid to democracy. It reminded me how your own Nana (maternal Grandpa) was a freedom fighter in the successful liberation of Bangladesh from Pakistan, a country that is still warring within itself.

They have all made me reflect how humanity generally has been progressively going through upheaval and how the inner focus of warring one's nafs is just as turbulent and rewarding as the outer battles that we face. Here Shaykh Nishaat rightly reflected that we celebrated the end of apartheid, but things still continue to fall apart. We human beings need to get a grip of our egos. We are consumed with greed, lust, anger, jealousy, and pride. Why is it so hard for us to be Muslim?! We have the best example in the Prophet PBUH, but do we show that? We have to first look at ourselves. Are we reflecting the 99 names of Allah?, and one of His names is the Just.

#2. Shaykh Nishaat then continued to reflect that our leaders are controlled by their nafs (egos) at the macro scale, where nations are lying and cheating. We have lived through many wars where we have seen so many lies and falsehood, and not just in the West but even prevalent amongst Muslims.

What is our furqan as what we follow? The Qur'an is our guide. What does Allah repeatedly show us? We have to look ultimately at whether Allah will be pleased with our actions. We are not just living here and now, in this world, but we have to keep in mind that the hereafter exists too. In Sufism, we have to constantly look at where a thought or action is coming from. If from the nafs, it is not accepted in this world or the next. So, while we see falsehood being spread, it is a reflection of us as human beings. How are we being Khalifatullah (vicegerants of Allah) if we are not reflecting our Creator ..?

#3. Anne (our spiritual mother) here reflected that we are taught to first try change a situation with just action, and if that's not possible, then with our voice but even if that's not successful, we must pray! Shaykh Nishaat added that when we see something wrong, we first pray for the wrongdoers that are influenced by Shaytaan, but we mainly pray for those who are wronged.

Hear a Palestinian comedian make light of a proportional response to injustice between Israel and Palestine. What exchange rate will make everyone happy? We can voice as articulately as him or if likely not, we do all have the power of prayer!

youtube

#4. Shaykh Nishaat finally reminded us that we must not lose hope and strive for doing what is right. We make the intention that the frequency of our Zikr is a source of mercy for all those that are suffering and losing loved ones at a rate that we cannot contemplate and out of all proportion. May we all strive to be just in our lives with our own families and those that we share our beautiful world with.

#5. Lastly and most powerfully, Anne brought it back to another basic tool that we possess in making Rabita (heartfelt connection). Connection between our heart and brain, connection to the outside, connection to Allah, and connection with us students to our spiritual teachers. We spoke about three kinds Rabita that we know over the many that exist.

The first type of Rabita is called Shifa-e Rabita when we are doing healing or when we are praying as the war in Palestine and Israel, and the thousands affected by the earthquakes - there is so much going on in the world! Allah says to us that the most beautiful names belong to Him, and we pray drawing on them as Sufis. We first make our connection to Allah. If you are still learning Rabita, we imagine a white light coming from the top that goes from the back of your heart and comes forward. And what is in front of you is what we are praying for with Positivity Prayers. When we pray for balance for all the wars and everything else, we envision the area of war conflict (Palestine and Israel, because we pray for everybody that needs ours prayers). We will pray for guidance, help and for balance because when nafs (egos) fight, nobody is good.

Ya Adl Ya Muqsit Ya Haq Ya Salaam

Whatever comes to our hearts, we can do the Positivity Prayers 3-33 times a day. The next Rabita is to our Shaykh and Shaykha when we're doing our daily Zikr, we must envision them in front of us. The idea is that we open our heart connection by getting out of the way as "I'm not doing it, but my Shaykhs are doing it" as actualising hanging onto the rope of Allah.

The third type of Rabita is where we are turning to our hearts at all times when we have a burning question that we seek an answer to. We were told to remember that only Allah is good and in humanity, if any good comes through us, it is Allah's doing!

In conclusion, we were guided to powerfully bring back our macro-world chaos into our micro-world point of control. I am left with infinite gratitude for the Divine guidance that we palpably receive:

Shukran Ya Allah

Allah calls Himself Al-‘Afuww—The Pardoner, The Eliminator of Sins, The Effacer— on five occasions in the Quran. He is the One who can make any sin or mistake disappear. Al-‘Afuww not only forgives but can also remove wrong actions, errors, and faults, leaving no trace of them!

The One who eliminates sins, The Pardoner

‘Afuww comes from the root ‘ayn-faa-waw, which points to three main meanings. The first main meaning is to forgive and pardon and the second is to efface and remove. The third main meaning is to give willingly and more than what is due.

This root appears 35 times in the Quran in four derived forms. Examples of these forms are ‘afaa (forgave), al-‘afwa (the surplus, (to) forgiveness) and wal ‘aafeena (those who pardon).

Linguistically, ‘afw refers to two concepts, one of which is to remove all traces. In the Arabic language it is sometimes used with wind referring to its blowing and removing of footprints etc. The other concept is to willingly give others without constraint. Al-‘Afuww is the One who removes and erases someone’s sins, mistakes, errors and faults and their traces and consequently becomes pleased with one. He is the One who then grants them blessings willingly without even being asked!

Al-‘Afuww Himself says: Indeed, Allah is ever Pardoning and Forgiving [Quran, 4:43] . . . For those it is expected that Allah will pardon them, and Allah is ever Pardoning and Forgiving [Quran, 4:99] and .. If [instead] you show [some] good or conceal it or pardon an offense – indeed, Allah is ever Pardoning and Competent. [Quran, 4:149]

Difference between pardoning and forgiving

Of the five times, Allah’s name Al-‘Afuww is mentioned four times with His name Al-Ghafoor (The Forgiving) in the Quran. Allah ‘azza wa jall might forgive some people and pardon others. Forgiving means that Allah ‘azza wa jall conceals our sins and mistakes and we will not be punished for them on the Day of Judgement. However, they are still there in our book of deeds. When Allah pardons the sins of people, the sins are completely erased from their book of deeds; He will not even remind them of their sins, nor question them, simply because their sins have been removed. Pardon is greater than forgiveness!

Grave sins and pardon in the Quran

Allah’s pardon is mentioned in the Quran along with grave sins, such as Baani Israeel who worshipped the calf: Then We forgave you after that so perhaps you would be grateful. [Quran, 2:52] And those who turned away at the battle of Uhud: Then he turned you back from them [defeated] that He might test you. And He has already forgiven you, and Allah is the possessor of bounty for the believers. [Quran, 3:152] This is the beautiful pardon of Al-‘Afuww!

 How can you live by this Name?

1.Pardon others.

The people who surpress anger and pardon others are the people of Paradise. Al-‘Afuww says: Who spend [in the cause of Allah] during ease and hardship and who restrain anger and who pardon the people – and Allah loves the doers of good [Quran, 3:134] Ibn Katheer mentions: They forgive those who treat them with injustice. Therefore, they do not hold any ill feelings about anyone in their hearts, and this is the most excellent conduct in this regard.

Fight against your ego and ask Al-‘Afuww to help you to not even leave a trace of bad feelings and resentment in your heart. If someone wrongs you, think about your own sins and those who you wronged. Strive to pardon others so that Allah ‘azza wa jall may pardon you!

2. Don’t remind others of their mistakes.

Al-‘Afuww is the One who pardons with no reproach. After overlooking other people’s mistakes or wrong actions towards you, try not to remind them of these bad deeds afterwards. Allah ‘azza wa jall is the One who pardons and never mentions your sins again!

3. Increase your love.

Imagine Allah ‘azza wa jall pardoned all your past sins; not a single sins would be recorded in your book of deeds. Reflect on how much you should love Al-‘Afuww! A beautiful opportunity is Laylatul Qadr, which comes once a year in Ramadhan. Value this crucial night, seek it with your best deeds, and remind yourself that night and every other night how beautiful the pardoning of Allah ‘azza wajal is!

4. Say this dua from your heart.

A beautiful dua with this name is the one the Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam taught Aishah radiyallahu ‘anhaa, when she asked him: “O Messenger of Allah! If I find the Night of Al-Qadr what should I say?” He sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam replied, say:

O Allah! Verily You are the Oft-Pardoning, You love to pardon, so pardon me [Ahmad, At-Tirmidhee, An-Nasaa’i, Ibn Majah] Memorize this dua and beg Al-‘Afuww with is sincerely. Recognize your sins, be humble and then aim high, not only asking your Lord for forgiveness, but for Him to pardon each and every sin you committed!  O Allah, Al-‘Afuww, we know that You can erase all sins. Grant us the strength to pardon others and make us reflect on Your love and blessings upon us. Aid us to obey you and guide us in keep asking You sincerely to pardon all our sins, mistakes, neglect, errors and faults so we will not even be questioned about them on the Day of Judgement, ameen!

What does the Quran say about Sharia Law, "The Way to the Oasis"?

Sharia means "The way to the Oasis." The 99 Names of Allah are considered the source of the Oasis.

The Sharia mentioned in the Quran refers to the search for truth. Truth, not self-aggrandizement is the only way a sinner can be redeemed.

"But it was not until knowledge came to them that they differed out of mutual envy."

The more we tell the truth, the more opportunities there are for sinners to find God.

The Quran says all truth is found in the elements and blunt honesty with ourselves about the kind of world we have made:

From Al-Jathiya:

Ḥâ-Mĩm. "In the name Muhammad, the Prophet of Allah."

The revelation of this Book is from Allah—the Almighty, All-Wise.

Surely in ˹the creation of˺ the heavens and the earth are signs for the believers.

And in your own creation, and whatever living beings He dispersed, are signs for people of sure faith.

And ˹in˺ the alternation of the day and the night, the provision1 sent down from the skies by Allah—reviving the earth after its death—and the shifting of the winds, are signs for people of understanding.

These are Allah’s revelations which We recite to you ˹O Prophet˺ in truth. So what message will they believe in after ˹denying˺ Allah and His revelations.

Woe to every sinful liar.

They hear Allah’s revelations recited to them, then persist ˹in denial˺ arrogantly as if they did not hear them. So give them good news of a painful punishment.

And whenever they learn anything of Our revelations, they make a mockery of it. It is they who will suffer a humiliating punishment.

Awaiting them is Hell. Their ˹worldly˺ gains will not be of any benefit to them whatsoever, nor will those protectors they have taken besides Allah. And they will suffer a tremendous punishment.

This ˹Quran˺ is ˹true˺ guidance. And those who deny their Lord’s revelations will suffer the ˹worst˺ torment of agonizing pain.

Allah is the One Who has subjected the sea for you so that ships may sail upon it by His command, and that you may seek His bounty, and that perhaps you will be grateful.

He ˹also˺ subjected for you whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth—all by His grace. Surely in this are signs for people who reflect.

˹O Prophet!˺ Tell the believers to forgive those who do not fear Allah’s days ˹of torment˺, so that He will reward each group for what they used to commit.

Whoever does good, it is to their own benefit. And whoever does evil, it is to their own loss. Then to your Lord you will ˹all˺ be returned.

Indeed, We gave the Children of Israel the Scripture, wisdom, and prophethood; granted them good, lawful provisions; and favoured them above the others.

We ˹also˺ gave them clear commandments regarding ˹their˺ faith. But it was not until knowledge came to them that they differed out of mutual envy.1 Surely your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Judgment regarding their differences.

Now We have set you ˹O Prophet˺ on the ˹clear˺ Way of faith. So follow it, and do not follow the desires of those who do not know ˹the truth˺.

Allah does not want wool pulled over peoples' eyes and He does not want the world to suffer endless accusations. He wants us to collaborate with nature and create a way of life in which everyone's efforts provide a favorable return, not endless prisons and slums. It is the end of these things that is entailed in the Sharia.

The highest politics is 'La ilaha IllAllah'.

'La Ilaha IllAllah' or #Tawheed is to knowing, believing, proclaiming and obeying the Oneness and Uniqueness of Allah. The Oneness of Allah i.e. Tawheed consists of three parts. (i) Tawheed ar-Rububiyyah (Maintaining the Oneness of Allah's Lordship). (ii) Tawheed al-Asma-Was-Sifat (Maintaining the Oneness of Allah's Names and Attributes). (iii) Tawheed al-Ibadah (maintaining unity of worship). Allah is the only 'true Lord'. In all matters related to Allah, Allah is the One, Sole, Unique, Perfect and without partners. He has no peer or equivalent. Know Allah by His most Beautiful Names and Perfect Attributes. From the first man and the first Prophet Adam (a.s.) to the last Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, the basic call of all prophets and messengers was 'La ilaha illAllah' (there is no 'true God' but Allah). Namely: 'La Ilaha IllAllah Adamu Shafiullah'', 'La Ilaha IllAllah Nuhun Naziullah'', 'La Ilaha IllAllah Ibrahim Khalilullah', 'La Ilaha IllAllah Muhammadur Rasulullah'. Rejecting Taghut is the root of Tawheed.

Tawheed is the foundation upon which the religion of Islam is built, so focusing on Tawheed means focusing on the core. Because if we reflect on the Qur'an, we will see that it repeatedly explains the matters of Tawheed, so much so that there is not a single Surah in the Qur'an in which Tawheed is not mentioned, making it clear and prohibiting all matters that oppose Tawheed.

Our Lord is Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala.. Allah is unique, almighty, the only God. Allah is the only true Lord. There is no 'True Ilah'/ 'True Deity' except Allah. Allah is One, Unique in His Actions, Lordship, Authority, and Righteousness. Allah Ta'ala is Exalted above the throne in the sky (above all creation). Allah should be known by His beautiful name 'Asmaul Husna' and perfect attributes. Allah's name is more than 99. The Qur'an is the word of Allah. ultimate guidance for mankind.

Tawheed basically means the Oneness of Allah. There is only 1 true God, and that is Allah. Tawhid is the indivisible oneness concept of monotheism in Islam. Tawhid is the religion's central and single most important concept, upon which a Muslim's entire religious adherence rests. It unequivocally holds that God in Islam is One and Sing #Tawheed is made up of three parts: Tawhid means believing in Allah Alone as God and Lord & attributing to Him Alone all the attributes of Lordship and divinity. Tawhid is made up of 3 parts; Tawhid al-Rububiyyah (Oneness of Divine Lordship), Tawhid al-Uluhiyyah (Oneness of Divinity) &Tawheed al-Asma wa’l-Sifat (Oneness of Names and Attributes.

Allah's indivisible unicity is Tawhid

Tawhid: At the centre of all Islamic belief is the belief in one God-Allah. There is no other God but Allah and there is no one comparable to Him. We will never understand Allah as His nature supersedes our limited minds. We are created by Allah but He is not Himself created. Allah is the Unique,Omnipotent and Only Deity and Creator of the universe. Our Lord is Allah SWT. There is no 'True God' / 'True Deity' except Allah. Allah is Exalted Above His ‘Arsh (Mighty Throne’). Know Allah by His Most Beautiful Names & Lofty Attributes (Asma Was Sifat). Holy Qur'an is Allah's Word. Qur'an is final revelation & guidance for mankind.

Tawheed - The first call of the Messengers

Tawheed is to knowing, believing, declaring, obeying the oneness and uniqueness of Allah. The Oneness of Allah i.e. Tawheed consists of three parts. (i) Tawheed ar-Rububiyyah (Maintaining the Oneness of Allah's Lordship). (ii) Tawheed al-Asma-Was-Sifat (Maintaining the Oneness of Allah's Names and Attributes). (iii) Tawheed al-Ibadah (maintaining unity of worship). Allah is the only 'true Lord'. In all matters related to Allah, Allah is One, Sole, Final, Perfect and without partners. He has no peer or equivalent. Allah is to be known by His most beautiful Names and Perfect Attributes. From the first man and the first Prophet Adam (a.s.) to the last Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, the basic call of all prophets and messengers was 'La ilaha illAllah' (there is no 'true God' but Allah). Namely: 'La Ilaha IllAllah Adamu Shafiullah'', 'La Ilaha IllAllah Nuhun Naziullah'', 'La Ilaha IllAllah Ibrahim Khalilullah', 'La Ilaha IllAllah Muhammadur Rasulullah'. Rejecting Taghut is the root of Tawheed.
