The Virtue of Tawhid
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q5: The questioner asks: What is the status of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) among all acts of worship, with an explanation of the virtue of tawhid for the Ummah?
A5: Tawhid (the oneness of Allah) is the foundation, and acts of worship are not valid except with tawhid; if an act of worship does not contain tawhid and includes shirk (associating partners with Allah), it is invalid. Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nisa 4:36], commanding His worship and forbidding what invalidates it, which is shirk (associating partners with Allah) with Allah (Mighty and Majestic).

Worship Allah and associate nothing with Him
وَاعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَلاَ تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا
