3 points Regarding Tawheed

  1. Allah has created us, provideds for us, and he has not left us without a purpose, rather, Allah has sent to us a messenger. Whoever obeys him, will enter paradise and whoever disobeys him will enter the fire.
    The proof is the saying of Allah: {Indeed We have sent a messenger to be a witness over you, as We have sent a Messenger to the Pharaoh. However, the Pharaoh disobeyed the Messenger; so We seized him with a severe punishment} [73:15-16]
  2. Allah is not pleased that anyone associated with him in his worship; not a close angel nor a sent messenger,
    proof to this is the saying of Allah; { وَأَنَّ ٱلْمَسَـٰجِدَ لِلَّهِ فَلَا تَدْعُوا۟ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ" أَحَدًا} Meaning: The places of worship are ˹only˺ for Allah, so do not invoke anyone besides Him.
  3. Whoever is obedient to the messenger and worships Allah upon Tawheed, it is not permissible for them to have love and alliance for those who oppose Allah and his messengers.
    Proof to this saying is; لَّا تَجِدُ قَوْمًا يُؤْمِنُونَ } وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ يُوَآدُّونَ مَنْ حَآدَّ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ وَلَوْ كَانُوٓا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ أَوْ أَبْنَآءَهُمْ أَوْ إِخْوَٰنَهُمْ أَوْ عَشِيرَتَهُمْ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ كَتَبَ فِى قُلُوبِهِمُ ٱلْإِيمَـٰنَ وَأَيَّدَهُم بِرُوحٍ مِّنْهُ ۖ وَيُدْخِلُهُمْ جَنَّـٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ رَضِىَ ٱللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا۟ عَنْهُ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ حِزْبُ ٱللَّهِ ۚ أَلَآ إِنَّ حِزْبَ ٱللَّهِ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ}
    Meaning: You will never find a people who ˹truly˺ believe in Allah and the Last Day loyal to those who defy Allah and His Messenger, even if they were their parents, children, siblings, or extended family. For those ˹believers˺, Allah has instilled faith in their hearts and strengthened them with a spirit from Him.1 He will admit them into Gardens under which rivers flow, to stay there forever. Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. They are the party of Allah. Indeed, Allah’s party is bound to succeed.

3 Ways to distance one's self from Shirk and it's people

  1. In The Heart: We hate the Mushrikeens and their celebrations; especially their shirk and innovations in the religion due to them associating partners in worship with Allah
  2. Speech: According to Suratul Kafirun( Quran 109 )
  3. Action: By not participating in their festivals, celebrations, dances, clothing, plays or beliefs.
