Maintaining the unity of worship . The 2 first categories of tawheed alone is not sufficient to fullfil the Islamic requirements of tawheed. The 2 first we've learn must be obligatory accompanied by the last one : Tawheed al Ebaadah., in order to be considered as complete to Islam. This point is sustantiated by the fact that Allah Himself has related in clear terms that the mushrikoon ( idolators) of the Prophet's time confirmed many aspects of the first two forms of tawheed. To underline this affirmation , let's take a verse from Allah telling the Prophet to say to the pagans ( mushkikoons) : " If you asked them who created them , they would surely say Allah " ( Surat az-Zukhruf ( 43:87) The pagans of Makkah , all knew that Allah was their creator , sustainer , and their Lord and Master , yet that knowledge did not make them Muslims according to Allah . why ? Because in fact Allah said in the Qu'ran : Most of them do not believe in Allah exept while joining partners to Him" ( Surat Yoosuf , 12:106) Therefore , their belief in Allah did not make them stop from worshipping gods along with Allah. Despite if some pagans Makkans believed in the Resurrection and the Judgment day and others in predestination ( qadar ) , Allah classified them as Kuffars( disbelievers) and pagans ( mushrikoons). All forms of worship must be directed only to Allah because He alones deserves worship , and it is He alone who can grant benefit to man as a result of His worship, futhermore there is no need for any form of intercessor or intermediary between man and God. Worshipping Him is the main purpose of man's creation , He said : " I did not create the jinn and mankind exept for My worship" ( Sourat adh-Dhaariyat ( 51:56) Plus , the main message of the Prophets was to worship God alone.. Consequently the gravest sin is SHIRK ( worship of others instead of Allah and along with Him), like praying to the Prophet , or jinn or angels asking them to request help from Allah on his behalf : it's considered to associate partners with Allah , as long as worship is being shared between Allah and His creation , it's Shirk. Therefore , does it means that we can't ask to nobody in our lives if we have a car accident and need help? No , Islam isn't like that , for this kind of situation , it is permissible to ask help from people who can directly help you , that's not haram.. When Makkans were questionned about directing theirs prayers to idols , they sadly answered " We only worhsip them so that they may bring us closer to Allah " ( Surat az Zumar ( 39:3) As we can see and understand , the idols here were only used as intermediaries to get closer to Allah , it may sounds normal but Allah called them pagans for their practice. We should not imitate Catholics among Christians when they have saints for every occasion to whom their direct their prayers , as we all knows by watching films , they also use their priests as intercessors in the mistaken belief that the priest are closer to Allah due to their celibacy and piety. On one occasion , the Prophet's companion 'Adee ibn Haatim who was a convert from christianity , heard the Prophet recite the Qu'ranic verse , : " They have taken their rabbis and monks as lords besides Allah"( Surat at Tawbah ,(9):31) so he said , " surely we did not worship them" The Prophet turned to him and said " Did they not make forbidden ( haram) what Allah had made halal ( allowable) and you made it haram , and did they not make halal what Allah made haram, and you made it halal?" He replied : " We certainly did " so the Prophet affirmed " That was how you worshipped them" ( At Tirmithee) When we talk about what take make haram and halal , it means , that the Christian clergy made haram the marrying of more than 1 wife and first cousins. and for the Roman Catholism , they forbade priests from marrying and divorce in general as for Christian churches made halal the eating of pork , blood and alcohol .Some of them even made allowable paintings and statues of God as man. In Islam , worship includes more than just fasting , praying , Hajj and animal sacrifices : It certainly includes emotions , such as Fear , Love and Trust , those emotions must be all gathered and directed to Allah , if we fear , love and trust someone's else than Allah , it's Shirk , this is the reason we must be careful about what we learn and practice. To explain more about this Tawheed , Tawheed al Ebaadah involves the implementation of Shar'eea , especially in lands where Muslims from the majority ! What does it means ? It means that Divine laws should be re-introduced in many muslims countries . There are , unfortunately , in many muslims countries not the Shar'ia , they don't rules under Allah's command yet they call themselves muslims. Allah said in the Qu'ran : " Those who do not rule by what Allah has revealed are disbelievers ( kafiroon) ( Surat am Maa'idah ( 5:44).. The non-implementation of Islamic rules in Muslims lands is an act of shirk and kufr,. However as Ibn 'Abbas explained , it is not the major act of disbelief, it's a lesser form than others it doesn't make the doer a disbeliever unless he believes that non-islamic rules are superior or equals to the divine law. What to remember from this last 3 articles? - Desobedience does not make us disbeliever , because what made Iblis a kuffar was his pride by contradicting Allah (Superiority to Adam when Allah asked Iblis to bow before him) - In Iran , sects says that there is a God of Good which is the ultimate God and the God of evil. - We worship Allah through His attributes , we do not need statue and images for that. - If we want to call people Merciful we should add 'Abd ( slave of ) before the name ex : Abd Ar- Rahmam - Shiites common names are : Abdul Rassool , Abdul Nabee ( Servant of the Prophet , the Messenger ) , those kind of name are totally wrong. - The Sunnah of the Prophet isn't only what he do but it is also what he didn't do. we call it Sunnah terkia = sunnah of what he didn't do and Sunnah fe'lia = what he done. - Trusting , loving , fearing someone more than Allah is an act of worship - Always ask people for the proof of their saying concerning Islam - When people decide to not follow what Qu'ran says , they disobey ( exept if it's ignorance , or sometimes following culture , innocence) - Shiites are both innovators and Shirk doers but they are not non-muslims.( exept if what they know is bad and don't reject it then they become disbelievers) - We can make du'a without raising hands ( sujood , prostration) - We can ask forgiveness for the death but it musn't be regular ( like asking Imam to do it) - When it came to personal taste ( dislike , like) of Prophet Muhammad ( peace be upon him) , we are not obliged to follow the sunnah ( He hated Dubb ) or like buying his sandals from yemen. - " Spirit of Allah" is a false concept because Allah created the spirit - The term Tawheed can be found neither in the Qu'ran nor the Sunnah - 'Ibaadah = worship Allah alone without partner - Asmaa was sifat = Describe Allah only in the way He and his Prophet described him - Division of Tawheed into 3 categories was done by Muslim scholars after the time of companion
