The definition of Tawheed can’t get any simpler than this. Well established in this video. Thank you!
Tawheed is a verb to make something into waheed(one) in religious context it means to single out Allah in His worship and His Names & attributes.
Because in pre-Islamic Arab society they already believed in the Unseen Creator & Ruler of the Universe (Allah) but they worshipped lesser gods and mythological spirits as their intercessors to Allah, the Most High.
The Arabs before islam knew that their fathers Abraham and ishmael (PBUT) left a religion and that is to worship One God (Allah).
Prophet Muhammad was sent primarily to single out Allah alone in His worship…
That worship is solely a right of God and no one else.
This is literally a compound definition of tawhid the exact opposite of a simple definition.
JazzakAllaahu khairan

Good to see another detailed discussion on the topic of monotheism ! Great stuff !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Allah has perfected Islam ! Absolutely essential and fascinating conversation; may Allah preserve you both 🤲🏾
Islam believes in ‘Tawheed’ which is not merely monotheism i.e. belief in one God, but much more. Tawheed literally means ‘unification’ i.e. ‘asserting oneness’ and is derived from the Arabic verb ‘Wahhada’ which means to unite, unify or consolidate.
Tawheed can be divided into three categories.
1. Tawheed ar-Ruboobeeyah
2. Tawheed al-Asmaa-was-Sifaat
3. Tawheed al-Ibaadah.
1. Tawheed ar-Ruboobeeyah (maintaining the unity of Lordship)
The first category is ‘Tawheed ar-Ruboobeeyah’. ‘Ruboobeeyah’ is derived from the root verb “Rabb” meaning Lord, Sustainer and Cherisher.
Therefore ‘Tawheed-ar-Ruboobeeyah’ means maintaining the unity of Lordship. This category is based on the fundamental concept that Allah (swt) alone caused all things to exist when there was nothing. He created or originated all that exists out of nothing. He alone is the sole Creator, Cherisher, and Sustainer of the complete universe and all between it, without any need from it or for it.
2. Tawheed al-Asmaa was-Sifaat (maintaining the unity of Allah’s name and attributes):
The second category is ‘Tawheed al Asmaa was Sifaat’ which means maintaining the unity of Allah’s name and attributes. This category is divided into five aspects:
(2.1) Allah should be referred to as described by Him and His Prophet
Allah must be referred to according to the manner in which He and His prophet have described Him without explaining His names and attributes by giving them meanings other than their obvious meanings.
(2.2) Allah must be referred to as He has referred to Himself
Allah must be referred to without giving Him any new names or attributes. For example Allah may not be given the name Al-Ghaadib (the Angry One), despite the fact that He has said that He gets angry, because neither Allah nor His messenger have used this name.
(2.3) Allah is referred to without giving Him the attributes of His creation
In a reference to God, we should strictly abstain from giving Him the attributes of those whom He has created. For instance in the Bible, God is portrayed as repenting for His bad thoughts in the same way as humans do when they realize their errors. This is completely against the principle of Tawheed. God does not commit any mistakes or errors and therefore never needs to repent.
The key principle when dealing with Allah’s attributes is given in the Qur’an in Surah Ash Shur
“There is nothing Whatever like unto Him, And He is the One That hears and sees (all things).”
[Al-Qur’an 42:11]
Hearing and seeing are human faculties. However, when attributed to the Divine Being they are without comparison, in their perfection, unlike when associated with humans who require ears, eyes, etc. and who are limited in their sight and hearing in terms of space, time, capacity, etc.
(2.4) God’s creation should not be given any of His attributes
To refer to a human with the attribute of God is also against the principle of Tawheed. For example, referring to a person as one who has no beginning or end (eternal).
(2.5) Allah’s name cannot be given to His creatures
Some Divine names in the indefinite form, like ‘Raoof’ or ‘Raheem’ are permissible names for men as Allah has used them for Prophets; but ‘Ar-Raoof’ (the Most Pious) and Ar-Raheem (the most Merciful) can only be used if prefixed by ‘Abd’ meaning ‘slave of’ or ‘servant of’ i.e. ’Abdur-Raoof’ or ‘Abdur-Raheem’. Similarly ‘Abdur-Rasool’ (slave of the Messenger) or ‘Abdun-Nabee’ (slave of the Prophet) are forbidden.
3. Tawheed al-Ibaadah (maintaining the unity of worship):
(3.1) Definition and meaning of ‘Ibadaah’:
‘Tawheed al-Ibaadah’ means maintaining the unity of worship or ‘Ibaadah’. Ibaadah is derived from Arabic word ‘Abd’ meaning slave or servant. Thus Ibaadah means servitude and worship.
(3.2) All three categories to be followed simultaneously.
Only believing in the first two categories of Tawheed without implementing Tawheed-al-Ibaadah is useless. The Qur’an gives the examples of ‘Mushrikeens’ (idolaters) of the Prophet’s time who confirmed the first two aspects of Tawheed. It is mentioned in the Qur’an:
“Say: ‘Who is it that Sustains you (in life) From the sky and from the earth? Or who is it that Has power over hearing And sight? And who Is it that brings out The living from the dead And the dead from the living? And who is it that Rules and regulates all affairs?’ They will soon say, ‘Allah’. Say, ‘Will you not then Show piety (to Him)?’ “
[Al-Qur’an 10:31]
A similar example is repeated in Surah Zukhruf of the Glorious Qur’an:
“If thou ask them, Who Created them, they will Certainly say, ‘Allah’: how Then are they deluded Away (from the Truth)?”
[Al-Qur’an 43:87]
The pagan Meccans knew that Allah (swt) was their Creator, Sustainer, Lord and Master. Yet they were not Muslims because they also worshipped other gods besides Allah. Allah (swt) categorised them as ‘Kuffaar’ (disbelievers) and ‘Mushrikeen’ (idol worshippers and those who associate partners with God).
“And most of them Believe not in Allah Without associating (others As partners) with Him!”
[Al-Qur’an 12:106]
Thus ‘Tawheed al-Ibaadah’ i.e. maintaining the unity of worship is the most important aspect of Tawheed. Allah (swt) alone deserves worship and He alone can grant benefit to man for his worship.
I guess with "Tawheed Al ibadaah" you actually mean "Al Uluhhiyaah"?
@@user-hw6cg9ji5x yes
@@Katsura-5827 alhamdulillah
Trinitarian tawheed that you are talking about is a *Bidah* which was not taught by the salaf this idea came centuries after the salaf, every knowledge that pertain to Allah is known as tawheed and it means the uniqueness of Allah i.e oneness and doesn't need to be explained in multiple tawheeds.
Allahumma barik. I would add in surah maryam ALLAH says
[ Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them - so worship Him and have patience for His worship. Do you know of any similarity to Him?"
Qur'an 19:65
Paul i have been following your channel from an early time. May Allah bless you for addressing Tawheed and bringing in Shaykh Hassan. Tawheed and the Sunnah upon the understanding of the companions is the Foundations of Islam. Keep going Paul!!!!
Thanks!

Very beautiful and fruitful discussion, may Allaah reward you and Shaykh Hassan Somali for this tremendous beneficial topic.
Jazakum Allaahu khayran!
Much love from Holland!
Thanks to Mr. Williams and Mr. Somali for this program . It contained really a very popular topic which was a kind of not well understood by many . Mr. Somali was able to clear it up nicely and easily. He possessed of good wisdom on this . Alhamdulillah.
Truly , God’s purpose to His creations is very simple that all being to worship Him alone . That is because He is the creator and He is the religion forever .
You mean "*his* is the religion" because this is correct. Allah is not religion. Allah is Al Khaliq, the only One worthy of worship.
@@oliveoil4259 thank you for your response . It is “ His. “. Here are the verses : “ To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and earth ;
His is the religion forever “ - The Bee : 54.
Meaning worship is due to Him alone .
We also find these verses :
“ Do they seek other than the religion of Allah . “ 3: 83 .
Meaning He is the religion .
And in another verse we find the same :
“ The true religion with Allah is Islam . “
3: 17 .
We also find His name is Al Mu’min . Means He is the infuser of faith .
“ whomsoever Allah desires to guide , He expands his breast in Islam. “ - Cattle : 125
Meaning to be guided needs His guidance. And that is Islam .
Among His many beautiful names He is Al Mubdi - The Originator.
There is a verse on this In The Quran: “ he followed the religion - Allah’s original ; upon which He originated the mankind . “
Finally , true religion is for Allah , with Allah , and from Allah.
Thank you brother Paul this is very helpful for moslims and non moslims. Very good formulated by Shaykh Hasan Somali. My Allah grand you paradise.
Brother Paul salaam alaikum, what an excellent interview this was, all i can say to you is Masha-Allah Tabaaraka Allah 👏👏👏👏 excellent excellent excellent, it cannot get any simpler than that 😍😍😍.

May Allah grant you good health and increase your Emaan and make all of our hearts and feet firm upon His perfect belief.

I’m struggling to understand how this video has been uploaded for 2 minutes, and it is over an hour long, and someone already disliked it. Perhaps a polytheist can’t handle Tawheed. Perhaps those who call upon other than Allah dislike that Tawheed be discussed from sound sources. Allahu alam.
Thank you brother Paul for giving a platform to such knowledgeable students of knowledge to educate us.
Wow great guest! Would love to see Shaykh Hasan Somali more often on your channel. Barakallah feekum

Paul, please invite Professor Menachem Ali, a revert from Indonesia to your podcast. He is a scholar, philologist who studied the Tanakh, New Testament, Qur'an, even the Vedic text in various languages. He knows hebrew, aramaic, syriac, greek, latin, and of course arabic. In my opinion you will be mind-blowned with his lectures.

Thank you
Brother . I hope to learn an interview with the American Prof. Richard Mortel, professor of Islamic history and interested in archeology in the Arabian Peninsula, who was an assistant priest and converted to Islam. He has been working in Saudi Arabia for 46 years. Perhaps the talk about the story of Islam, Islamic history, prophetic monuments, Arab and American culture, aspects of disagreement and agreement between Islamic and Western culture ... to be a cultural, historical, literary, archaeological, social, etc. issue. ?
Jazak Allah khair to both Shaykh Hasan and our beloved brother Paul. Could we see more from both Brother Paul and shaykh Hasan on Tawheed rooted as the cure for all our societal issues.
Beneficial. Alhamdulillah. Thank you for sharing.
May Allah bless the Shaykh.
Concept of God in Islam
one God, is the most important and foundational concept in Islam. Muslims believe in one God who created the universe and has power over everything within it. He is unique and exalted above everything He creates, and His greatness cannot be compared to His creation. Furthermore, He is the only one deserving of any worship and the ultimate purpose of all creation is to submit to Him. The Islamic understanding of God is distinct from all other religions and beliefs in various respects since it is based on a pure and clear understanding of monotheism. This essentially captures the concept of God in Islam, which will be further elaborated in this pamphlet.
Muslims often refer to God as Allah. This is a universal name for God and does not refer to an exclusively ‘Islamic’ God. Interestingly, this name is related to the Aramaic and Hebrew names for God, Allaha and Elohim. Therefore, Allah is simply the Arabic name for God which affirms that He is One singular God with no partners or equals. The name Allah cannot be pluralized or limited to a specific gender, which establishes that God is One and that He is unique from everything He creates. Muslims continue to use this original Arabic name for God (Allah) since it perfectly expresses His unique qualities.
God is the Creator and the Sustainer of the universe who created everything for a reason. Muslims believe that He created humankind with a simple purpose - to worship Him. He sent messengers to guide people in fulfilling this purpose. Some of these messengers include Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, peace be upon all of them. They all taught a consistent message about God by affirming His greatness as the Creator and guiding people to worship Him alone. This basic concept has always resonated with people’s natural understanding of God.
When the final prophet, Muhammad, peace be upon him (pbuh), was asked about God, the answer came directly from God in the holy book of Muslims, the Quran (also spelled ‘Koran’): “Say, ‘He is God the One, God the eternal. He begot no one nor was He begotten. No one is comparable to Him.’” [112:1-4] This is a clear statement by God describing Himself to humanity without any room for confusion. God is One and is exalted above everything He creates and He is capable over all things.
Fully accepting the oneness of God is to accept that He is distinct from everything else. It would not suit God’s majesty and glory to associate the limited attributes of His creation to Him because He is not restricted in any way, while His creation is. He is the First with no beginning and the Last with no end. Everything in the universe was created by His will. He is not confined by space or time and He is the only One who is in control and provides for His creation.
“He is God: there is no god other than Him. It is He who knows what is hidden as well as what is in the open, He is the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy. He is God: there is no god other than Him, the Controller, the Holy One, Source of Peace, Granter of Security, Guardian over all, the Almighty, the Compeller, the Truly Great; God is far above anything they consider to be His partner. He is God: the Creator, the Originator, the Shaper. The best names belong to Him. Everything in the heavens and earth glorifies Him: He is the Almighty, the Wise.” [Quran, 59:22-24]
Why did God create people whom He already knew would reject Him and go to hell? Shouldn’t God who is All Loving instead not create them so that they won’t go through punishment? These are some common questions connected to this topic. Answered by Nouman Ali Khan
Pure Monotheism
“God: there is no god but Him, the Ever Living, the Ever Watchful. Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. All that is in the heavens and in the earth belongs to Him. Who is there that can intercede with Him except by His leave? He knows what is before them and what is behind them, but they do not comprehend any of His knowledge except what He wills. His throne extends over the heavens and the earth; it does not weary Him to preserve them both. He is the Most High, the Tremendous.” [Quran, 2:255]
The primary pillar of Islamic belief clearly states that there is nothing worthy of worship except God. Associating partners with God or attributing qualities of lesser beings to Him is considered to be the greatest sin in Islam.
In the past, this often took the form of idol worship or praying to multiple lesser gods. Although this is less common now, the current era has replaced many of the physical ‘idols’ of the past with other contemporary ‘gods.’ Many people today allow passions like entertainment, drugs, relationships or material objects to become the center of their lives. They become so consumed with these things that they submit to whatever will allow them to fulfill their desires. For example, if a drug addict allows their addiction to control their actions, beliefs, feelings, and behaviors, causing them to risk their personal safety and the safety of others, that drug has essentially become their god. Likewise, if another person puts a loved one before God by obeying that person even if that causes them to transgress against God’s commands, their loved one has taken precedence over God.
Islam teaches that people should completely submit only to God as He is the only One worthy of their worship. He is the Creator and Sustainer of the universe and everything in it belongs to Him. The Quran points out the faulty thinking of those who worship other than God:
“‘How can you worship things you carve with your own hands, when it is God who has created you and all your handiwork?’” [37:95-96]
www.whyislam.org/brochures/conceptofgod/
Say: O People of the Scripture. Come to an agreement between us and you: that we shall worship none but Allah, and that we shall ascribe no partners unto Him, and that none of us shall take others for lords beside Allah. And if they turn away, then say: Bear witness that we are they who have surrendered (unto Him) . The Holy Quran .. Isn't it the summit of dignity and freedom .. ✍️
I hope Prof. Tim Winter is around to replay to some of Shaykh Hassan Somail's point of view.
Muslim sects who're ignorant and deviant hate Tawhid and the idea of practicing pure islam in everyday life without adding new innovations.
Am sure, some of those ignorant sects within Islam will not be happy hearing this brother talking about worshipping Allah alone.

Yes it is fard but sunnah doesnt mean that it's not fard. There are multiple meanings for the word sunnah. But jazakallahukhaira for the clarification@@oliveoil4259
Bring more salafis like this specially from salafi publications.
In summation: Tawhid came to us through the noble Prophet Muhammad saw and we can not reach Allah Almighty by bypassing the Holy Prophet saw.
No it didn't, it's part of the fitrah to believe in Tawheed. What came through the prophet upon whom be peace is the revelation and legislation. We go directly to Allah, unlike the Christians and those who are now imitating them from among the muslims.
@@aaliyah3037 that's a difference of opinion. Ashari assert tawheed is taught through revelation while Maturidi assert tawheed is fitra and attainable without revelation.
Both creeds are from ahle Sunnah wal jamaah

Wonderful
@23 mins. What was the great Hadith Master Imam Bukhari ar doing at the grave of Prophet Muhammad saw when compiling his Magnus Opus?
As salam alaykoum,
I have two remarks :
1/ If the word "al tawhid" is not present in the Quran, Allah clearly forbid his antonym, which is "al shirk". An antonym is the opposite of a word, like death is the antonym of life. So, for example, if I have to announce to somebody that someone is dead, I can say : "John is dead" or I can negate his antonym by saying : "John is not alive". It is the same thing we find in the Quran. Allah said :
"And [mention, O Muhammad], when Luqman said to his son while he was instructing him, "O my son, do not associate [anything] with Allah. Indeed, association (al shirk) [with him] is great injustice.".
Allah also said : "They have certainly disbelieved who say, "Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary" while the Messiah has said, "O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Indeed, he who associates ("yushrik" in arabic, verbal form of the word "al shirk") others with Allah - Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire. And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers."
2/ About Intercession, there is a clear narration in Sahih al Bukhary which says that after prophet passed away, the compagnons didn't ask to his dead body, rather they ask to a pious alive man to invoke Allah :
Anas ibn Malik said :
Whenever drought threatened them, `Umar bin Al-Khattab, used to ask Al-Abbas bin `Abdul Muttalib to invoke Allah for rain. He used to say, "O Allah! We used to ask our Prophet to invoke You for rain, and You would bless us with rain, and now we ask his uncle to invoke You for rain. O Allah ! Bless us with rain."(1) And so it would rain.
Sahih al bukhary, hadith n°1010.
Allahu a'lam.
(Sorry for my broken english)
Salam, MashaAllah! You are doing Fabulous.
JazakAllah Khair
Wonderful explanation that we have only one God
And that He Only deserves all our worship
Great content thank you and may Allah guide and protect you!
Salaam only one God and it's Allah SWT love here from South Africa Johannesburg pray 5 times a day
*_The whole world in Niqab. Subhan'Allah. Niqab hypocrisy is exposed._*
So head of divinity in Azhar university is not better than your interviewer .. he reviewed aqida tahawia and described wahabi as of khawarj creed. So now Paul you are setting yourself as authority in Islamic divinity by inviting wahabi .. good luck to you.
It's very entertaining watching people like you burn in the presence of one who has the correct understanding of the Deen.
This man never said anything other than what Allah said in the Quran. Just listen to what he is saying.
The masters of Mecca said on the authority of the Prophet Muhammad pbuh that he is insane. The criterion for knowing the truth is to see the debates between the Salafis and the dissenters and listen to them. And your condition is that the reference to the truth is the Qur’an and the Sunnah only
The saddest part is this man says “ good luck to you” what is luck? SubhannAllah you need to replay this and undertand “tawheed”
1.Tawheed is literally Singularization since every thing else is زوج pair as singularity is the obvious attribute of Allah, the sole Owner the creation. The First the Final The manifest The Secret.
2.Worship is simply worthify or respect. Hence supplication is the easiest action of showing respect.
Worshiping Allah alone is from tawheed. Worshiping other than Allah is shirk and kufr
And they worship besides Allah things that hurt them not, nor profit them, and they say: "These are our intercessors with Allah." Say: "Do you inform Allah of that which He knows not in the heavens and on the earth?" Glorified and Exalted be He above all that which they associate as partners with Him!
Yunus 18
Masyaallah.I love this topic.It is really academic discussion
Hey Paul,I am a huge fan of LEO TOLSTOY..one of the greatest mind that Mankind had produced...is there any truth on Tolstoy's quotes about Islam that rlare circulating on some islamic channels on the net ...thank you for insight in the subject
unfortunately, intercession wasn't explained that well in this video.
Beautiful
Kindly establish that the 'Salafi' understanding of tawheed is being explained.
The reality is that diseased heart can only understand Islam to a certain degree. Before everything, one must be sure this person has a sound heart before accepting their explanation/interpretation of the religion. People could be deluded and not realize it. This is why it necessary to pray for Allah's guidance and protection. To find the true Muslims is an obligation for all of us as Muslims.
Sick spiritual heart=problematic understanding of the deen.
"Do they not have hearts with which to understand?" -Holy Quran
There are 2 types of approach to concept of God in Islam.
1. Ah al sunnah wal jamaah ( Abu hasan Al Ash'ari & Abu Mansur AlMaturidi). 2016 international conference on Sunni Islam in Grozny, Chechnya.
2. Salafis (ibn taymiyyah, syeikh bin baz, utsaimin and Albani).
Both shares the same shahada. But different approach on the concept of God.
So i hope brother paul can invite scholars from both sides so everybody can respect each other.
Salafees are AhlusSunnah and AhlusSunnah are Salafees. As for Maturidees and Asharees, then they are NOT upon the creed of AhlusSuunah.
@@sheikhshakilakhtar6844 no problem, thats your own personel view. Like i said, hoping brother paul will invite othr scholars from the Ah al sunnah wal jamaah Al Ash'ari & Maturidi background. So all of us can have rich knowledge on the Tawheed
@@anggaangga4527 Rich knowledge of Tawheed is only from the Quran and Sunnah upon the understanding of the Sahaba, Taabieen and Atbaautaabieen, NOT Asharis and Maturidees.
@@sheikhshakilakhtar6844 again no problem my friend i respect your views and your ulama. But other majority muslims have different references from other ulama from Azhar etc and other muslim scholars. Dont be one sided my friend. We all share the same shahada.
What is the point of this post? You are subconsciously questioning Paul's guest choice.
He has invited guests from Zaytuna, who I don't believe to be on the correct path. But I don't come on that post and question the guest, I learn. In fact the Shaykh Ali from Zaytuna was wonderful to listen and learn from.
What does it matter what you call yourself? Did you know Allah will punish the people who used to call themselves Muslims, but did otherwise. Even the label of Muslim didn't help them, forget Sufi or Salafi.
Focus on your actions, drop the labelling and learn
Wow!
Wow!
Wow!
BaarakaAllahu Feekum.
Part 01/06
While watching this video, we have noted some points, and will briefly discuss below:
We agree with Shaykh Hasan Somali that in practice, Paulines do not stick to Touheed but these Paulines and Hindus are like pre-Quranic Arab Pagans (Mushrikeen) who used to do their own brand of Hajj and used to pray their own brand of Rituals, and they also used to believe in Allah Azza wa Jal but problem was: they used to have many other gods too. This is why Glorious Quran call them Mushriks. Who commits Shirk is called Mushrik, and in Quran, Shirk is even bigger sin than Kufar 4:48. *This is why: In Quran 5:72, Hell is guaranteed for those people who say that Jesus is god.*
I can't believe Blogging theology becoming a salafi channel siding with the most unintellectual speakers in the Islamic community! Paul! Allah gave you an intellect! Don't you see that all the greatest muslim scholars you invited are defending intercession and those few ridiculous preachers are against. Why? Why it is always the preachers who are against and the great scholars who studied with the great scholars that are defending it? Why In the last 1000 years 99% of the Islamic scholars were defending intercession? Why don't you go further and ask him the truth: According to the salafi school, 99% of the Scholars of the last millennia were polytheist! This is known Paul! There is no one who denies that nobody in the last millennia denied intercession except Ibn Taymiya and the proof is that "Nobody except him and his student Ibn Al Qayyim" ever wrote to protest against it. Why? Why if it was true that the Islamic world was filled with polytheism not a single scholars ever wrote against it except the 2 mentioned before who didn't even had an impact on the scholars of their time. Common! I can't believe you are following this new cheap mainstream sect that appeared 200 years ago in Saudi!
Last thing....Tell us Paul, if what this man and the salafi school is saying is true, what is the judgment in the Islamic law of the majority of Islamic scholars of history and by extension and the majority of Muslims who follow them: They are polytheist that had to be executed for their belief! Swallow the pill Paul and don't turn around. If what they're saying is true, then all the scholars of the oldest Islamic universities in the world, Al Azhar in Egypt, Qarawiyin in Morocco, Madrassas of Constantinople, the great mosque of Damascus should be executed for their belief in a salafi state! I am writing fro Fez which host the oldest Islamic university in the world. According to this man, all the greatest scholars who sat at this university in the last millennia should have been executed and will burn in Hell forever! What of kind sect is this? And they spread all around with the money of Saudi Oil. Common! You're not serious believing in this Paul! I can't believe!
Is it a coincidence if all terrorist groups are from the salafi schools and non of them are from traditional sunni schools? We Muslim don't believe in coincidence so let's understand that something is going wrong.... Traditional scholars know but it seem you don want to listen them...
May Allah guide us all. Wallahi I only wrote this with my heart broken as I love you as my Muslim brother. May Allah make you one of His beloved.
So you have a problem with the 4 imams? Or even the sahaba? Are you claiming these people were misguided? No! as stated in many Hadith, it's you (the innovators) who are misguided. Hadith - "Every bid'ah is misguidance, Every misguidance is in the hell fire" , don't become a caller to the hellfire, lest you earn your followers sins after you die.
The uniqueness in behaviour and approach of deviant groups in Islam as well as the people who follow the corrupt religion of earlier Prophets and Messengers is the same by rejecting and hate to listen and understand the crystal clear statements by the Prophets and Messengers from the scriptures.
I thank Allah for giving us the ability to accept the truth in totality and religion as a whole and not by cherry picking the ambiguous verses according to our desire and intellect and by giving wrong interpretation to it.
@@MultiTatanya you obviously think this piece of sophistry is a knockdown argument as you’ve spammed it in response to my other comments too. Firstly you need to prove that tawassul and isthighatha/istiana are shirk something Wahhabi scholars have been unable to do and secondly your comment about converting and then choosing a sect of Islam to purposely avoid something you have mistakenly conflated with idolatry in your previous religion only serves to further highlight your ignorance.
Anta Mubtadi, and enemy of the sunnah of the messenger
Oooh this is my "breakfast" for today haha
INVITE USTADH MUHAMMAD TIM HUMBLE
Topic on Tawheed is what every muslim need. The ummah can only be united strongly thru and upon tauhid and the correct methodology of the salaf.
Sufi is a deviated sect unfortunately many western newly revert prone to sufism or shia.
Shia or correctly refer to rafidah is out of islam. Shia is not islam but they claimed they are and their aqidah had corrupted so much and they do syirik to Allah by calling to Hussein or Hassan.
Turkish muslim are more prone to sufism and mystic.
I hope the newly revert can focus on the correct methodology or they will be at lost.
Just like when we ask our parent to pray for us to God to help us pass the exams, to heal our sickness etc. It's perfectly fine and encourage as long as our parent still alive. It's forbidden if our parents already passed away.
So the prophet (SAW) is like your parents?
الآيات التي تؤكد وتتحدث عن وحدانية الله في القرآن الكريم
قال الله تعالى في كتابه العزيز “إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ” وهذه الآية إنما تؤكد انتفاء العبودية لغير الله سبحانه وتعالى، فلا يجب الاستعانة بمخلوق، لأن الاستعانة في كل الأمور إنما ترجع إلى الله تعالى.
قال الله في كتابه العزيز “وَلِلَّـهِ غَيبُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ وَإِلَيهِ يُرجَعُ الأَمرُ كُلُّهُ فَاعبُدهُ وَتَوَكَّل عَلَيهِ وَما رَبُّكَ بِغافِلٍ عَمّا تَعمَلونَ” وهذه الآية تدل على تفرد الله ووحدانيته في معرفة الغيب، فلا يوجد بشر ولا أي مخلوق في الحياة كلها له القدرة على معرفة الغيب وهي صفة متفردة لله، وهي تقضي بوحدانية ألوهيته، كما أن التوكل على الله وحده هو شكل من أشكال الإيمان بوحدانية الله، فعلى من غير الله من الممكن أن نوكل إليه الأمر، ولهذا فوحدانية الله تقتضي التوكل عليه في كل الأمور.
كذلك قال الله تعالى في كتابه العزيز “فَإِن تَوَلَّوا فَقُل حَسبِيَ اللَّـهُ لا إِلـهَ إِلّا هُوَ عَلَيهِ تَوَكَّلتُ وَهُوَ رَبُّ العَرشِ العَظيمِ”، فالله هو الكافي لعباده أجمعين، وهو الوحيد القادر لهم على النفع والضرر، وهي صفة لا تعود إلا لله وحده، لذا فإن التوكل على الله هو دعوة للتصديق بوحدانيته.
قال الله تعالى في كتابه العزيز “رَبُّ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ وَما بَينَهُما فَاعبُدهُ وَاصطَبِر لِعِبادَتِهِ هَل تَعلَمُ لَهُ سَمِيًّا”، وهذه دعوة وأمر لعبادة الله وحده فهو رب السموات والأرض، واتباع الآية بالسؤال الإنكاري “هل تعلم له سميا” إنما هو تأكيد أنه لا يوجد نظير لله من الممكن أن يسمى بأسمائه، فلا يوجد نظير من الممكن تسميته بالقادر، أو العالم، أو الخالق.
قال الله تعالى في كتابه العزيز “وَما تَوفيقي إِلّا بِاللَّـهِ عَلَيهِ تَوَكَّلتُ وَإِلَيهِ أُنيبُ”، فكما قلنا من قبل إن التوكل على الله وحده إنما هو دليل من دلائل توحيد العبد لربه، والتوكل هو عبادة خالصة لله تعالى.
قال الله تعالى في كتابه العزيز “وَاعبُد رَبَّكَ حَتّى يَأتِيَكَ اليَقينُ” فهذه الآية دعوة إلى عبادة الله تعالى حتى الموت، وآية “حتى يأتيك” اليقين إنما هي دليل باستمرار العبادة لله تعالى وحده حتى الموت ، وهذه فقط بعضها وإلا فإن القرآن كلها تحتوي التوحد اذا امعنا النظر .. ماشاء الله تبارك الله ولا إله إلا الله سبحانك اني كنت من الظالمين .. ✍️
13:20 True, Qur'an repeatedly explains or reminds us Tawhid.
بارك الله فيك
Clear beautiful conversation , I enjoy it so much
Thnx for both of u , bless u both amen 🤲🏻🌺🌺
You've just omitted the Muhammadur Rasoolallah from the Kalima.
Timestamp? Becareful because falsely accusing a muslim is sinful for you.
Allah is only one ☝️ God.
The prophet Mohamed is the Messenger of Allah.
The Jesus is Allah’s slave and His Apstole and His word which He bestowed on Mary and a spirit created by him.
The whole Quran includes the forth kinds of Tawheed.And to enrich one reading there is a book entitled « Tawheed » whose narrator called Mohamed ibn Abdelwahab.
Many thanks to you and your honoured guest.
please read verse 17 of chapter 22
.He says that He will judge on the day of judgement about every one
therefore such discussion means against the His will challenging His Lordship .
Don’t backbite or hurt another creation of ALLAH (SWT) either it is an animal or a human either muslim or non Muslim because you will be held accountable for what you have done wrong to another person and ALLAH (SWT) will not forgive you until the person that you have hurt or backbite forgive you. And the person that you backbite on the day of judgement will take your good deeds and give their bad deeds to you but If the person you asked forgiveness don’t forgive you that you have backbite, then talk good of them in public or alone and ask ALLAH (SWT) to forgive them because that way ALLAH (SWT) will not make that person who you have backbite take your good deeds and give their bad deeds to you and ALLAH (SWT) will give good deed to that person without taking your good deeds. Remember also to never expose your sins out of happiness and boasting about it because ALLAH (SWT) will not forgive those that exposed their sins when ALLAH (SWT) hid the sins from others even, if it is exposed.
Paul, may I request that you look into the Muslim vs Muhammadan terms.
I'm aware it comes from orientalist thinking background, they understood Muslim's in relevant to their mindset.
In modern times, it is being pushed in India by the Hindu extremists organisations, such as RRS, among others across India. It is designed to dilute Muslim identity.
Even Indian Muslim's are beginning to accept it, or do not take offence from it's usage. I find it a highly offensive term.
I think your scholarly approach will bring out a beautiful discussion on the topic. Either your own research based video, or a discussion with a Islamic scholar, or ideally both will bring greater understanding on the topic, and greater reach.
Thank you.
Your definition of dead is questionable. An ordinary Muslim buried in the grave hears the Salaam of visitors and their footsteps.
It doesn't matter what they hear. There are actually two opinions to this and regardless of the one you follow, it is not permissible to start having a conversation with them or to call upon them.
@@aaliyah3037 that's a deviation from the opinion is the majority of Scholars who say tawassul and istighatha are permissible. Ahle Sunnah wal jamaah have always defended the permissibility. What would be shirk would be to get surgery or take prescription medicine thinking that it will help you. Only Allah helps you and cures you and benefits you. However taking the means whether medicine or tawassul is permissible if you understand that the benefit is only from ALLAH alone.
That's the understanding.
Innovated groups with new modernist claims are very dangerous because they can easily get proud and aggressive for example of they become extremist and frankly melodramatic making the issue is tawassul and istighatha about tawheed they are directly accusing the majority of scholars of ahle Sunnah wal jamaah over 1400 years of not having or not understanding tawheed.
While this might be a popular and attractive outlook to intellectually lazy and surprisedly arrogant people, it's unorthodox. This najdi dawah is a strange, modernist movement.
@@Dylan-ge6dn Straw man. No one made this argument and how typical of you ahlul bidah to conflate to seperate matters. Yes tawassul is from the Qur'an and sunnah but not the way sufis, shias and other deviants groups understand it. It is already known to the Muslims that it is permissible to ask others to make dua for you or for help so long as they are alive, in your presence and you ask of them that which is in their capability.
@@aaliyah3037 alhamdulillah. You have named me from ahle biddah. Thank you for your hasanat, I only hope you didn't mean the dhahir of what you said because that would be kufr. Rasulullah ﷺ said in paraphrasing meaning to translate in English to accuse a Muslim of disbelief the actual disbeliever is the accuser.
Secondly, your anger is misdirected because it isn't me who related tawassul with medicine rather they are dealt with under the same chapter in Sahih Bukhari - now you know.
Better to study and learn patience and good character. What you do now will not help u in the afterlife. Remember your master told you ﷺ no one goes astray after misguidance except by argumentation.
Peace
@@Dylan-ge6dn I never accused you of disbelief. I am simply saying that this lining of argument typically comes form ahlul bidah. Similarly, you have also labelled the "najd" dawah a bidah.
And don't misrepresent Al-Bukhari's commentary. You are conveniently conflating the sufi understanding of tawassul using this example while Mohamed bin Ismail Rahimullah is simply explaining the permissibility of taking the means and that you should believe only Allah has the power to benefit or harm and not the means itself.
Salam alaykom
Wa alaykumu s-salam
I've noticed that a lot of people who use the word "taqiyya" without understanding its meaning on social media sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, and, yes, RUclips. Would you please explain to them what it means, in a future video, of course? There are Muslims who are quietly religious and live their religion through helping their neighbors, teaching their children empathy, etc.
I think tawheed word doesn't appear in quran. It doesn't matter. It is academic term to name a long explanation. To make scholars easier to tech the students
He can only tell you about Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab’s understanding of tawheed
Your guest is misrepresenting the Shia view on Tawassul. I would highly recommend that you read Sahifa Sajjadiya, a collection of duas from the 4th Shia Imam Ali bin Hussain (a.s) , this work has been translated into English by Prof William Chittick. Let the work speak for itself as to how the Imams of the Ahl Bayt said/taught supplications to Allah.
Learn from these people about the Shiite sect..Two of them were former Shiites
Daniel Haqiqatjou and Abu Muntasir al-Balushi and Hassan Shemrani
In this age in which science and learning has raised serious doubts about the fundamental principles of Islam Tawheed should be explained in the style of Risale-i Nur. It’s available in English translation. Otherwise we’re not doing justice to the topic.
First time hear Paul greet with Sallamualaikum ...
I love your shows ❤️❤️❤️🤲🤲🤲🤲
