Tawheed Monotheism MP3Full explanation of tawheedTawheed (montheism) The term is derived from the three consonants root w-h-d, which serves as the vehicle for the basic concept of ‘oneness,’ or ‘unity,” along with the closely related ideas of ‘singularity’ and ‘uniqueness.’ These root letters are clearly apparent in the numerical adjective wahid [one]. In the words of the Qur`an:Tawheed can be viewed from the perspectives of: Tawheed al-Rububiyah – Unity of Lordship Tawheed al- Uluhiyah – Unity of Worship Tawheed al- Asma wa Sifaat – Unity of His Names and His Attributes Tawheed al Itabaa – Unity in the following the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him .Shirk – PolytheismThe opposite of Tawhid is expressed by the Arabic term Shirk (polytheism), derived from the root Sh-r-k which conveys the notion of “sharing” or “partnerships.” The word Sharik (plural shurakaa) means “partner” or “associate.” It encompasses far more than the more blatant forms of idolatry and denial of Allah’s Unity. The term Shirk means associating partners with Allah, and the related term mushrik is applied to someone guilty of such polytheistic association.Forms of Shirk:Major Shirk Includes Shirk ad Du’a – invoking or supplicating to a false deity besides Allah Shirk al-Niyah wa Iraada wal Qasd – having the intention and determination to deliberately worship a deity other then Allah. Shirk at- Ta’a – obeying any created being against the command of Allah. Shirk al-Muhabbah – loving a created being or an object more than Allah Hidden Shirk as:Shirk al- khafi means the hidden, or covert, association of partners with Allah, the One and Only God. This is an insidious form of Shirk. Minor forms of Shirk as: Shirk ar- rea –carrying out religious acts for worldly gain, e.g. showing off.Shirk at- Tasmee – swearing by other then Allah.Allah says in the Noble Qur`an that Shirk is the greatest sin. (S 31: 14)He also says that He will forgive all other sins if He wishes, except Shirk (S 4: 49)Muslims must understand the term Shirk (polytheism) and be conceptually and practically clear that it is diametrically opposed to, Tawheed, the affirmation to the Oneness of Allah.
