Tawheed is so Crucial!

[Silent Spectator]

Why TAWHEED is so CRUCIAL ?

All praise is due to Allah (may He be exalted) and may the peace and

blessings of Allah be upon his final messenger, his family, his companions and

all of his followers.

Many may ask :

Why Tawheed is essential ?!

Why should we start by Tawheed ?!

Why the great emphasis on Tawheed ?!

Why study Tahweed when I'm a Muslim ?!

A quick and concise answer would be :

1. In every page of the glorious Qur'an, Tawheed is mentioned.

2. The first advice by Luqman given to his son was : " 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 [with

him] is great injustice." [The Qur'an, 31:13]

3. When death approached prophet Jacob (peace be upon him) he asked his

sons : ""What will you worship after me?" They said, "We will worship your

God and the God of your fathers, Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac - one God.

And we are Muslims [in submission] to Him." [The Qur'an 2:133]

4. Allah (may He be exalted) has said in regards to the Angels which "do not

disobey Allah in what He commands them but do what they are commanded"

[The Qur'an, 66:6] : "And whoever of them should say, "Indeed, I am a god

besides Him"- that one We would recompense with Hell. Thus do We

recompense the wrongdoers." [The Qur'an, 21:19]

5. This was the purpose of sending the noble prophets and messengers " And

We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], "Worship Allah

and avoid Taghut." And among them were those whom Allah guided, and

among them were those upon whom error was [deservedly] decreed. So

proceed through the earth and observe how was the end of the deniers."

[The Quran, 16:36].

6. After mentioning several great prophets and messengers in Surat Al-

Anaam - verses 83-86, Allah (may He be exalted) said : " That is the

guidance of Allah by which He guides whomever He wills of His servants. But

if they had associated others with Allah , then worthless for them would be

whatever they were doing." [The Qur'an, 6:88]

7. Allah (may He be exalted) told the MOST pious person who ever walked on

this earth : "And do not invoke besides Allah that which neither benefits you

nor harms you, for if you did, then indeed you would be of the wrongdoers."

[The Qur'an, 10:106]
