The Meaning of the Statement of Tawhid pdf

The Meaning of the Statement of Tawhid  – (La ilaha illallah – There is nothing worthy of worship in truth but Allāh) An Explanation of the Treatise  – Authored by ash-Shaykh al-Mujaddid Muhammad bin ´Abdul-Wahhāb

The statement Lii iliiha il!Alliih is a tremendous statement, light upon the tongue and heavy on the scales (of good deeds) because in reality, it incorporates Islam. However this statement is not merely an utterance, rather it has a meaning and a requirement;

it has pillars and conditions that are essential in understanding it; and had the intent been merely pronouncing it, then all those who say it would become Muslim because it is easy to say Laa ilaaha illallaah and become a Muslim without doing anything from actions.

Therefore this statement is tremendous, however it has a meaning, a requirement, pillars and conditions which are essential in realising it, and due to this, indeed it will not benefit except with the presence of the aforementioned things.

This statement has names, from them: that it is the statement of ikhlas (sincerity) because it negates Shirk with Allah and affirms all worship for Allah; due to that, it is named the statement of sincerity, i.e. sincerity of Tawhid, sincerity of worship and refrainment of Shirk with Allah – And it is called the statement of Taqwa, just as Allah the Most High said:

إِذْ جَعَلَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ الْحَمِيَّةَ حَمِيَّةَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَأَنزَلَ اللَّهُ سَكِينَتَهُ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِهِ وَعَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَأَلْزَمَهُمْ كَلِمَةَ التَّقْوَىٰ وَكَانُوا أَحَقَّ بِهَا وَأَهْلَهَا ۚ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمًا (26)

“When those who disbelieve had put in their hearts pride and”” haughtiness – the pride and haughtiness of the time of ignorance, – then Allah sent down His sakinah (calmness and tranquility) upon His Messenger and upon the believers, and made them stick to the word of piety (i.e. none has the right to be worshipped in truth but Allah); and they were well entitled to it and worthy of it. And Allah is the All-Knower of everything.” [Al-Fath) (48):26)

And the statement of Taqwa (piety and fear of Allah) is La ilaha illallah because it protects the one who states it sincerely for Allah from the Fire and because it necessitates righteous actions since Taqwa is actions of righteousness and obedience; this statement necessitates all actions of righteousness and obedience, hence it is the statement of Taqwa.
