Tawhid in the Essence of Allah (S.

Tawhid in the Essence of Allah (S.w.T.) Tawhid with regard to the Essence of Allah (S.w.T.) denotes confessing that the Essence of the Lord of the worlds is one, and that He is Eternal. He is the Orignator of every action and phenomenon, whether perceptible through senses or not. There is no other cause except Him. Belief in multiple causes is Shirk. The Zoroastrians believe in the existence of two powerful forces in the Universe, both being equal and eternal. One is good, the other, evil.

The god of good is Yazdan and the god of evil is Ahriman. The following ayat of the Holy Qur’an is a clear refutation of this false hypothesis. “Say (O Muhammad): All is from Allah.” (Surah an-Nisā’ 4:78) The claim of the Dualists can be refuted with a simple statement that there is no one except Allah (S.w.T.), who has been in existence since eternity. Whatever was in past, present or future is nothing but good.

Or, at least we can say that good exceeds evil and that evil does not hold sway over good. However if we go on to explain all this in detail it would lead us away from the topic of our discussion. Christians Are Polytheists Too The Christians believe in the trinity of the Godhead. The Father (God), The Son (Jesus) and the Holy Ghost (Jibrīl). They believe that each of them have a special quality and that together they constitute the Godhead.

The Qur’an flays their assertion thus: “Certainly they disbelieve who say, ‘Surely Allah is the third (person) of Three’; and there is no god but One God.” (Surah al-Mā’ida 5:73) The Holy Qur’an clearly states that Allah (S.w.T.) is not one-third of a god. He is the One and only One God. The belief in Trinity is not exclusive to the Christians. Hindus and Buddhists also ascribe to it. Idol Worship is Polytheism Some people allege that there are separate gods for every phenomenon.

That is, god of wind, god of sea, etc. This is another form of Polytheism. These people consider different creations to be the handiwork of different gods. These idolaters and polytheists worship multiple deities.

Their polytheistic belief has also been denounced in the Holy Qur’an: “Are sundry lords better or Allah, the One, the Supreme?” (Surah Yūsuf 12:39) Tawhid in the Attributes of Allah (S.w.T.) Tawhid with regards to the attributes of Allah (S.w.T.) means the realization that the positive attributes of Allah (S.w.T.) and His Essence have only one and the same sense, and not any multiple and diverse sense.
