What is Tawheed and Why It Matters
Tawheed, the oneness of Allah, is not just a theoretical theological concept. It is Islam in its essence. All worship prayer, supplication, charity become valid only if they are based on belief in the oneness of Allah without any partnership with Him.
Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Abdul-Wahhab penned Kitab At-Tawheed to establish correctness and issue a warning against prevalent types of shirk (the act of combining other things with Allah) that had permeated Muslim life. His method was candid, genuine, and soundly based upon the Qur’an and the Sunnah.
By way of example, Quranic verses, and prophetic traditions, the book instructs us that authentic Tawheed is not just a matter of belief it is action. It controls our prayer, our oath-taking, our fear, hope, and love. Tawheed determines the way we perceive the world and how we live in it.
Subjects Discussed in the Book
The book is divided into more than 60 chapters, each addressing a particular point about monotheism. Issues discussed include forbidding seeking blessings from other than Allah, the harm of swearing by anyone other than Him, and the need to have trust only in Allah.
