The Oneness of Allah Most High

of صِنْفٌ (type, category). مُّشْرِكٌ: That person who associates anyone in the Being or Attributes of Allah Almighty or holds such a belief. مُنَافِقٌ: That person who remained with Muslims, so said yes with their yes, joined the disbelievers or non-Muslims, so started singing their tune. Such individuals caused severe harm to Islam. مُؤْمِنٌ: He who affirms the Oneness of Allah Almighty and the Messengership of the Seal of Prophets ﷺ with his tongue and verifies it from his heart. فَمِنْ أَيِّهِمْ كُنْتُ: So which of them am I? فَمُدَّ يَدَهُ: Thus he extended his hand towards him. *Translation:- It is narrated from Hazrat Sa'id bin Yasar, he says, when Amirul Mu'minin Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (RA) received the information that a person in the land of Ash-Sham assumes that he is a believer. So Hazrat Umar (RA) wrote to the governor of Ash-Sham to send that person to me. When that person came, Hazrat Umar (RA) asked: "Are you the person who assumes that he is a believer?" He said: "Yes, O Amirul Mu'minin!" Hazrat Umar (RA) said: "Alas for you, upon what reliance do you say this?" That person submitted: "Were not the people with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ of three types? Mushrik, Munafiq, and Mu'min. So in these three types, which category am I from? (Meaning when I am not a Mushrik and Munafiq, then it must be acknowledged that I am a Mu'min). Hazrat Umar (RA) understood the meaning of his saying what he was saying. Considering his existing state, there is no harm in this. So he shook hands with him."* *(This hadith has been narrated by Abdur Razzaq in Jami', and this hadith is present in Kanz al-'Ummal).*

بَابٌ : فِى تَوْحِيْدِهِ تَعَالَى *Chapter: In the statement of the Oneness of Allah Almighty and His Being One* قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى : فَلَا تَجْعَلُوْا لِلَّهِ أَنْدَادًا وَّ اَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ - (آیت ۲۲ - البقرة) *Translation:- Allah Almighty says: "So do not set up equals (partners) to Allah while you know."* قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى : وَتَجْعَلُوْنَ لَهُ أَنْدَادًا - ذَالِكَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ - (آيت ۹ - حم السجدة) *Translation:- And the command of Allah Almighty is that "You set up equals (partners) with Him (Allah), although He is the Lord of all the worlds."* قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى : وَمَنْ يَّدْعُ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا اَخَرَ لَا بُرْهَنَ لَهُ بِهِ فَإِنَّمَا حِسَابُهُ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِ - إِنَّهُ لَا يُفْلِحُ الْكَفِرُوْنَ - (آيت ١١٧ - المؤمنون) *Translation:- And there is also this command of Allah Almighty that "And whoever calls upon another deity besides Allah, for which he has no proof, then his account is only with his Lord. Indeed, the disbelievers will not succeed."*

based on the fact that he has no proof for this matter, so his account will be with his Lord. The matter is that the disbelievers will never attain salvation." وَقَالَ تَعَالَى : وَمَنْ يُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلَلًا بَعِيْدًا - (آیت ۱۱۶ - النساء) *Translation:- And Allah Almighty says: "And whoever associates a partner with Allah has surely strayed into extreme error."* وَقَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى : وَلَا يُشْرِكُ فِي حُكْمِهِ أَحَدًا - (آیت ۲۶ - الكهف) *Translation:- And Allah Almighty says this: "And Allah Almighty does not make anyone a partner in His judgments, His partner is impossible and He is not pleased with partnership."* وَقَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى : لَوْ كَانَ فِيْهِمَا آلِهَةٌ إِلَّا اللَّهُ لَفَسَدَتَا - (آیت ۲۲ - الانبياء) *Translation:- And the command of Allah Almighty is also this: "If there were in them (the heavens and the earth) deities other than Allah, they would both have been ruined."* وَقَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى : لَنْ يَّسْتَنْكِفَ الْمَسِيْحُ اَنْ يَّكُوْنَ عَبْدًا لِّلَّهِ وَلَا الْمَلئِكَةُ الْمُقَرَّبُوْنَ وَمَنْ يَّسْتَنْكِفْ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهِ وَ يَسْتَكْبِرُ فَسَيَحْشُرُهُمْ إِلَيْهِ جَمِيْعًا - (آیت ۱۷۲ - النساء) *Translation:- And Allah Almighty says: "The Messiah (Isa) does not disdain to be a servant of Allah, nor do the angels who are near (to Him). And whoever disdains His worship and is arrogant, He will soon gather them all to Himself."* قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى : إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ اَنْ يُّشْرَكَ بِهِ وَ يَغْفِرُ مَادُوْنَ ذَالِكَ لِمَنْ يَّشَاءُ - وَمَنْ يُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلَالًا بَعِيْدًا - (آيت ١١٦ - النساء) *Translation:- Allah Almighty says: "Indeed, Allah does not forgive that partners be associated with Him, and He forgives other than that for whomever He wills. And whoever associates partners with Allah has certainly strayed into extreme error."*

عَنْ عَبْدِاللَّهِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُوْلَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلَّمَ اَىُّ الذَّنْبِ أَعْظَمُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ "أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا وَّهُوَ خَلَقَكَ " - قُلْتُ إِنَّ ذَالِكَ لَعَظِيْمٌ - قُلْتُ ثُمَّ اَيُّ ؟ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَنْ تَقْتُلَ وَلَدَكَ تَخَافُ يُطْعَمَ مَعَكَ - قُلْتُ ثُمَّ اَيُّ ؟قَالَ ثُمَّ اَنْ تُزَانِيَ بِحَلِيْلَةِ جَارِكَ - (رواه البخارى) Lughat: سَأَلْتُ: I asked, questioned. ذَنْبٌ: sin. نِدًّا: equal, peer, partner. تَخَافُ: you fear. مَعَكَ: with you. حَلِيْلَةِ: wedded wife. *Translation:- It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas'ud (RA), he says, I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: "Which sin is the greatest in the sight of Allah Almighty?"
