Overview
Monotheism (Tauhid) – the Oneness of God (Allah) – is the very essence of Islam, encompassing the core belief system of a Muslim. This 377-page book explores and investigates in detail, the concept of Islamic monotheism, what Allah can and cannot be, that which is impossible (mustahil) and permissible (ja-‘iz) on Him, His twenty undisputed attributes an obligation on every Muslim to know and why it is necessary for all who submit to Islam to be aware of the honour He rightly deserves through His infinite qualities.
The book further investigates why Allah’s existence is wajib, the concept of iman (faith) and what it means, how man’s actions affect his reward and retribution in this world and the after-life. Deeper universal subjects that still perplex mankind such as Qada and Qadr (fate and destiny) are also explored – from an Islamic perspective. This extensive study, which also details the historical background to the rise of certain sects in Islam and their belief systems, such as the Shia, Khawarij, Asha-‘irah and Mu’tazilites is certified and endorsed by the al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt, for its clarity of content.
An easy to follow glossary makes this, yet another publication by Shaikh Abdurraghiem Hasan Sallie, appealing to readers across denominations.
Excerpt
“This science is wajib (necessary) for every male and female to study. It is also the duty of every parent, teacher and spiritual guide, to ensure that children are taught this science so that they would be able to base their principles of life on the tenets of tauhid. Tauhid should be taught at the level of comprehension and perception of the child and student. Naturally, the degree of difficulty of the subject matter will be taught at the level of the individual’s mental development. This must be the most important issue in every Muslim’s life and in every Muslim home. It is more important than salah, hajj, fasting and all other forms of worship because no act of worship is accepted by Allah if we have false beliefs that result due to lack of tauhid.”
