aameen and you.
The proof against the division of tawHeed done by wahhabis.Praise be to Allaah and may Allaah raise the rank of Prophet MuHammad, his Al and Companions.
Thereafter;
The scholars of the sunnah said what means:
“The dividing of tawheed of some people into 3 tawheeds is a bad and rejected innovation. It is not stated in the Qur’aan or in the Hadeeth nor did any person of the Salaf (first 300 years after Hijrah) say it or any reputable scholar. Rather, it is an innovation exclusive to a group which are the likeners of this time (they liken Allaah to the creations). This group, despite claiming to fight innovation, have introduced this innovation. The proof that their division is incorrect is that the Prophet, Sallallaahu 3alayhi wa sallam said what means: ‘I was ordered to fight the people until they testify that no one is God except Allaah and that I am the Messenger of Allaah,’ The Prophet did not say ‘until they make 3 tawheeds’. That Hadeeth is mutawaatir. It was narrated about the Prophet Sallallaahu 3alayhi wa sallam by a group of Companions – among them the famous ten promised to Paradise. It was related by al-Bukhaariyy in his SaHeeH. The intention of the likeners by this innovation is to declare as blasphemer the Muslim who practises tawheed if he asks Allaah by the Prophet or by a highly pious Muslim. They claim that this person is not practising tawheed uluhiyya. They also intend by their innovation to declare as blasphemers those who do ta’weel to the mutashaabih Verses of the Qur’aan for dismissing the apparent meaning which might give a meaning which does not befit Allaah. From the above mutawaatir Hadeeth, it is clear that their division of tawheed into 3 is invalid and that they are in reality the innovators even if they claim to fight innovation.
“They included in Islam a new innovation – not said by the Muslims. It is that tawheed uluhiyya (tawheed of Godhood) alone is not enough to have Iman but that rather one must have tawheed rububiyya (tawheed of Lordship). This is against the saying of the Prophet which means: ‘I was ordered to fight the people until they testify that no one is God except Allaah and that I am the Messenger of Allaah,’ because the Prophet regarded the testification of the person that there is only one God and that he is the Messenger of God as enough. If the blasphemer uttered with this, he would be considered by the Prophet, Sallallaahu 3alayhi wa sallam, as a Muslim and the Prophet would order him to Pray (make Salaah) before ordering him with other obligations. This is in accordance with the Hadeeth related by al-Bayhaqiyy in his book “al-i^tiqaad”. Those likeners made a new religion and it is the insufficiency of testifying to the 2 matters mentioned and that is from their ignorance.
“In reality, tawheed uluhiyya (tawheed of Godhood) is tawheed rububiyya (tawheed of Lordship). The proof for this is that regarding the Questioning in the grave there is a Hadeeth with the phrase of the Testification of faith and a Hadeeth with the phrase of: Allaah is my Lord. This is proof that testifying that no one is God except Allaah is testifying that Allaah is the Lord. What a huge calamity to the Muslims this group is.”And in the book ‘misbaaH al-anaam’ chapter 2 for ^alawiyy bin AHmad al-Haddaad:
“Tawheed uluhiyya is included in tahweed rububiyya. The proof is that at the time when the oath was made on the offspring of Adam and Allaah said to them (His Speech is Eternal without letters sound or language and can not be imagined):
??
?? (am I not your Lord) He did not say “your God”. It was enough to say that He is the Lord. From among what is known is that whoever admits the Lordship to God has admitted the Godhood because the Lord is not other than God, rather the Lord is God. Also it is narrated in a Hadeeth that the 2 Angels ask the person in his grave saying “who is your Lord” and not saying “who is your God”. That is proof that tawheed of Lordship covers it. And from what is strange is the saying of a liar to one who testifies that no one is God except Allaah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah and is a Muslim “you do not know tawheed – tawheed is 2 types: tawheed of Lordship which the blasphemers and those who associate partners with Allaah have, and tawHeed of Godhood which the Muslims have and that is what brings you into Islam but tawheed of Lordship doesn’t.”
“How strange – does the blasphemer have a correct tawheed? If his tawheed was true it would have gotten him out of Hellfire because no person who has tawheed will stay in Hellfire as explicitly stated in the Hadeeths. O Muslims, did you ever hear in the Hadeeths and narrations that the Prophet, Sallallaahu 3alayhi wa sallam, when Arabs came to him to become Muslims, said to them about tawheed of Godhood and tawheed of Lordship?...What are these lies and falsifications about Allaah and the Prophet. The one who does tawheed of the Lord has done tawheed of God and whoever associates partners with the Lord has associated partners with God. The Muslims do not have a God other than the Lord so if they say no one is God except Allaah, they believe that He is their Lord and they deny the Godhood of other than Him as they deny the Lordship of other than Him and they affirm His Oneness in His Self (Reality), Attributes and Actions.”
The saying of a group of innovators that, “The Prophets were not sent except for tawheed of Godhood and it is worshipping only God; but as for tawheed of Lorship which is believing that Allaah is the Lord of the Worlds - the One who manages the creations – none of those who associate partners with Allaah nor the Muslims deny this as Allaah said: (? ?? ? ? ) which means: {If you asked them who created the skies and earth they would say Allaah.}”
Their words are rejected and invalid in their claim of equality of Muslims and non-Muslims who associate partners with Allaah in having Tawheed of Lordship.
As for the saying of the non-Muslims who associate partners with Allaah that Allaah created the skies and earth, it is only by their tongues. It does not mean that they are doing tawHeed to the Lord of the worlds.
The Prophet, Sallallaahu 3alayhi wa sallam, did not used to say to anyone upon their entering into Islam that there are 2 tawheeds and in order to be a Muslim you must do tawheed of Godhood and it is not enough to do tawheed of Lordship only.
Another proof against them is the saying of Allaah about Yusuf peace be upon him to his companions in the jail when calling them to tawHeed:
( ? ? ?? ? )
Here Yusuf called them to tawHeed of the Lord, the One Who deserves to be worshipped, Who is God, the one who is clear of all the non-befitting attributes that the blasphemers attribute to Him.And from the magazine called ‘noor al-Islaam’ by the shaykhs of al-Azhar ash-shareef, Rabee^ ath-thaanee, year 1352 H ‘Invalidation of dividing tawHeed into Godhood and Lordship’ by the ^al-laamah Yusuf
?
? who died in the year 1365 H:
“Their statement: ‘tawHeed is divided into tawHeed of Lordship and tawHeed of Godhood’ is a division unknown to anyone before ibn taymiya, and it is also impossible as you will know. The Prophet, Sallallaahu 3alayhi wa sallam, did not say to anyone who entered Islam: ‘There are 2 tawheeds and you would not be a Muslim unless you do tawheed of Godhood’, and he did not indicate that even with 1 word and this was not heard from any of the Salaf who they always claim to follow in everything nor the meaning of this division.
“…as for His saying:
(
?
??
?
? )
Which means: {If you asked them who created the skies and earth they would say Allaah.}
“They say with their tongue what is not in their hearts desperate for that because of the evidence. The proof for this is that they also utter words which contradict this and attribute the creation of benefit and harm to other than God. Also they are ignorant of God. They said to Hud peace be upon him:
( ??
?
? )
“So how does ibn taymiya say: ‘They believe that the idols do not benefit or harm…’?
“And look also at what they say about their plants and animals:
?
??
??
?
? )
“They held their gods higher than God in the smallest of matters. Allaah said in revealing their belief about their idols:
(
? ??
?
??
??
?
?
?? )
“Here is it mentioned that they believed the idols are partners. From among that is what abu sufyaan said: (
) a word of praise to something they worshipped other than God. The Prophet Sallallaahu 3alayhi wa sallam answered him by saying ‘God is greater.’
“Look at these and tell me what you see of the tawHeed that ibn taymiya attributes to them and says: ‘They are equal with the Muslims (in tawheed of Lordship) and they only differed in tawheed of Godhood’?” The words of the shaykhs of al-Azhar summarized.
