Statues


Tawheed (to sincerely and purely single-out Allaah alone for worship). The Muslim worships Allaah alone; fears Allaah alone; loves Allaah and for Allaah alone; and all his inclinations and desires are directed to Allaah. For this reason Tawheed is the greatest action that a person can perform, and the most beneficial action that a person can possess for himself on the Day of Judgement.

"Verily the life of man is in the life of his heart and his soul. And there is no life in the heart except by knowing it's Creator, having love for Him, worshiping Him solely, turning to Him in times of need, and seeking tranquility with His remembrance."
[Ibn al-Qayyim]

"Actions are but by Intentions" Everything we do has to be intended to be for Allaah, i.e., for anything we do we want to make sure that it will be acceptable to Him and will not in any way interfere with the upholding of His Deen. A good action with the wrong intention will not get us any reward in the Hereafter.

[Memorize] Tawheed has 3 parts. Tawheed Ar Ruboobiyyah is the belief that Allah alone creates, provides for His creation (food, water, shelter, health, etc), controls the affairs of all His creatures/creation. Tawheed al Uloohiyyah is the belief that all acts of worship are directed to Allah alone. Tawheed Al Asma was sifaat is the belief in Allah's Names and characteristics or attributes.


"I said : O Messenger of Allaah, tell me of an act which will take me into Paradise and will keep me away from the Hell Fire.He said : You have asked me about a great matter, yet it is easy for him for whom Allaah makes it easy : Worship Allaah, without associating any partners with Him; establish the Prayer; pay the Zakaah; fast in Ramadaan; and make the Pilgrimage to the House..." [Tirmidhee]
