MONOTHEISM

 

“We Already Know Tawheed”

All praise is due to Allah. We praise Him; seek His aid, and His forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evils of our souls and the evils of our actions. Whomsoever Allah guides, none can misguide. And whomsoever Allah allows to go astray, none can guide him. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, Alone and without any partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

It is well known among Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah (those who traverse the methodology of the Salaf- the first three generations of Islam) that Allah did not send the Messengers nor did He bring the creation into existence except to uphold Tawheed and to abandon committing Shirk with Allah and to have disavowal for shirk.

So when our greatest enemy- the accursed Shaytan- realized this, then he came by horse and by foot in other to turn the service away from the worship of Allah with all of their diverse levels and to turn them away from learning Tawheed and upholding it and carrying it out, whether they were the du’aat (those calling to it), or those called, whether they were the scholars of the ‘amma (or the generation population of the people), except those whom Allah has bestowed His Mercy upon.

So Shaytan made fair-seeming to the du’aat (callers) to abandon calling to Tawheed with the evidence that calling to it would divide the ranks, or break our union with one another, or that people already have an understanding of it. So how amazing is this, and how faulty are the evidences they bring. How can we abandon calling people to Tawheed, claiming we are adhering to the evidence the Messengers and Prophets (peace be upon them) did not give any weight to or authority for? And do you know why they did not? Because they knew through what Allah had taught them that the purpose of calling the people is the Tawheed of Allah. There is no way to salvation except upon their way. And their way is one, as Allah has stated: “And verily, this is my Straight Path, so follow it, and follow not (other) paths, for they will separate you away from His Path…” (Al-An’am 6:153)

And is the occupation of the truthful du’aat and the truthful callers to Islam, anything other than reviving the da’wah of the Messengers-that is the Tawheed of Allah.

And from the ways the Shaytan has utilized to deceive the people is making them believe that Tawheed is something already well known and already understood. So they say: “we are already Muwahiddun (monotheist), why do we need to call to it? So when the people say we are already Muwahiddun, it should be said to them: Subhanallah! How can this be the case when many of the Muslim countries and non-Muslim countries are enveloped in the darkness of clear Shirk al-Akbar?
