Book of the Month: Kitab At- Tauhid Shaykh Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab

CHAPTER No: 2

The superiority of Tauhid

And what it removes of sins

 Allah the Most Exalted said:

"It is those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah and worship none but Him Alone) and

confuse not their belief with Zulm (wrong i.e. by worshipping other besides Allah), for them

(only) there is security and they are guided ones."(6:82)

Narrated Ubadah bin As-Samit (May Allah be pleased with him), that Allah's Messenger (May

the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said:

"Whoever testifies that there is nothing worthy of worship in truth (no God) except Allah

Alone, Who is without (peer or) partner, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger, and

that 'Iesa (Jesus) is the slave of Allah, His Messenger, and His Word which He bestowed in

Maryam (Mary) and a spirit (created) from Him, and that Paradise & Hell-fire are realities, Allah

will admit him into Paradise, whatever his deeds might be." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Hadith No. 3252)

'Itban (May Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (May the peace and blessing of

Allah be upon him) said:

"Indeed Allah has forbidden for Hell the person who testifies: 'There is nothing worthy of

worship in truth (no true God) but Allah', seeking thereby nothing but Allah's Face (pleasure)."

(Al-Bukhari, Muslim).

Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) narrated that Allah's Messenger (May the

peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said:

"Musa (Moses) (May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said: 'O my Rabb, teach

me something through which I can remember You and supplicate to You.' Allah answered: 'Say,

O Musa, La ilaha ilIa-Allah'. Musa said: 'O my Rabb, all your slaves say these words'. Allah said:

'O Musa, if the seven heavens and all they contain other than Me1 (Ghairy) and the seven earths

as well, were all put in one side of a scale and La ilaha ilIa-Allah put in the other the latter would

overweigh them.'" [This Hadith has been reported by Ibn Hibban, and Al-Hakim declared it

Sahih].

1 This phrase (Ghairy) is the exception from what is in the heavens. It should not be misunderstood that

Allah is contained within the heavens or earth since He has described Himself in the Qur'an as the

Transcendent, Most High, Above All, i.e. in 2:255, 20:5, 25:59 and many places elsewhere in His Book.

Indeed the statement is another proof that Allah cannot be considered within the creation. [Detailed

explanation can be seen in "Fath-ul-Majid Sharh Kitab-ut-Tauhid -Translator].

At-Tirmidhi reports from Anas (May Allah be pleased with him): He heard Allah's Messenger

(May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) saying:

"Allah the Most Exalted said: 'O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with the world full of

sins, and meet Me without making anything partner to Me (Shirk), I would come to you with a

similar amount of forgiveness.' "
