What are the categories of Tawheed? ما هي انواع التوحيد ؟

العلامة الالباني
Al-'Allaama Al-Albaani

احفظوا هذا وتفقَّهوا فيهِ : التوحيد ثَلاثَةُ أقسامٍ :

تَوحيدُ الربوبيَّةِ : وهذا لا بُدَّ مِنهُ ، لكنَّ المشركينَ لَمَّا امنوا بِهِ ، ما أفادهُم شئ ، لا يَتِمُّ التوحيدُ إلا بالثَّاني والثالثِ :

الثاني : توحيدُ العبادَةِ : أن لا تَعبُدوا غيرَ الله إطلاقاً بأيِّ شئ ، ولو بالحَلِفِ بغيرِ الله ، وما أكثَرَ ما يَقَعُ الحَلِفُ بغيرِ الله .

التوحيدُ الثالثُ : هو أن توحِّدوا الله في أسمائِهِ وفي صِفاتِهِ ، فلا تَصِفونَ بَشَراً من البَشَرِ بِصِفةٍ من صِفاتِ الله ، مِنها : أن لا تظنُّوا أنَّ أحداً من المُصْطَفَيْنَ الأخيارِ يَعلَمُ الغيبَ ، لا يَعلمُ الغَيبَ إلا الله.

Memorise this and understand this: Tawheed (Oneness of Allaah) has three categories:

1) Tawheed ar-Ruboobiyyah (Oneness of Allaah in His Lordship): This is necessary, but the Mushrikeen (of the Quraish) had emaan (faith) in it (alone, without having emaan in the other two categories) , and it did not benefit them whatsoever. So Tawheed is not appropriate except with the second (category) and the third (category).

2)Tawheed al-'Ibaadah (Oneness of Allaah in our worship): Not to worship anything besides Allaah, even if it is to swear by other than Allaah, and swearing by other than Allaah is common these days.

3) Tawheed of Allaah in His Asmaa wa Sifaat (Oneness of Allaah in His Names and Attributes): We dont attribute any creation with the Attributes of Allaah, and from it is: Do not think that the chosen ones (the Prophets and Messengers) have the knowledge of Ghaib (Unseen), no one knows Ghaib except Allaah alone.

Saying 'where is Allaah?" is not from good manners?

الشيخ العلامة المحدث يحي الحجوري حفظه الله تعالى

السؤال: رجل يقول: من قال: (أين الله؟!) فهو بلا أدب؟

الإجابة:
هذا كلام خطير؛ فرسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم هو الذي سأل الجارية فقال لها: «أين الله»، والحديث في مسلم من حديث معاوية بن الحكم السلمي رضي الله عنه، ولنا في رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم أسوة حسنة.

Question: A person says, 'the one who asks, "Where is Allaah?" is doing so without any manners?

Answer: This statement is khateer (dangerous), as the Messenger of Allaah (sallalaahu 'alaihi wasallam) was the one who asked the slave girl saying: "Where is Allaah?". This hadeeth is in Muslim, from the hadeeth of Mu'aawiyah ibn al-Hakam as-Salamee (radiAllaahu anhu). And the Messenger of Allaah (sallalaahu 'alaihi wasallam) is the best of examples.
