Fundamentals of our Aqeedah: PART 3

Al-Iman fi Allaah - Believing in Allaah (La ilaha Ila Allaah)



Our Iman is in three things

1) Al-Iman bil Rububiyyah – To Believe in the Lordship of Allah (swt)

2) Al-Iman bil Uluhiyyah – To believe that all actions of worship are directed to only Allah (swt), and he is the only one who deserves such worship

3) Al-Iman bil Asma Wa Sifaat – To believe in all of Allah’s (swt) names and attributes, and believe that they belong to none but him.

Our Iman in these three things should be manifested into heart, tongue, and actions.

Shaykh Muhammad Abdul Wahab (rh) defines Iman as:

"There is no difference - in opinion - regarding tawheed to be in the heart, and tongue and actions. And if one of these does not exist (akhtala), then this person cannot be a Muslim; and if he knows at-tawheed, and does not act upon it, then he is someone who has the disbelief of obstinacy ( kaafir mu'aanid), like the disbelief of Fir'awn, Iblees and their likes." - See, Kashf ash-Shubuhaat , page 40.

Imam as-Shafi defines Iman as :

"The consensus of the Companions, and the tabi'een, and whoever was after them, and whom so ever we saw [regarding imaan], was: 'al-Imaan is speech, actions and intention, and one cannot exist ( yatajaza`), except with the others.'" - See, Majmoo' al-Fatawaa , volume 7/309

In conclusion, I urge the reader to rethink their understanding of Islam, and its core At-Tawheed. Furthermore, I urge the reader to fully embrace the basis of life, la ilaha Ila Allah, and reject the tawagheet of our era despite the hardships it carries.And to show utmost animosity towards the tawagheet, and the people of kufr and shirk.
