Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on dividing tawhid (the oneness of Allah) into four categories by adding tawhid al-hakim?
Answer:
We divide it into four categories: three categories in detail and two in summary. In the summary, tawhid al-rububiyyah (oneness of lordship) includes the names and attributes, and tawhid al-uluhiyyah (oneness of worship). If I detail it, I say three categories: tawhid al-rububiyyah (oneness of lordship), tawhid al-uluhiyyah (oneness of worship), and tawhid al-asma' wa al-sifat (oneness of the names and attributes). This is separated from tawhid al-rububiyyah because some of the Jahmiyyah, the Mu'tazilah, and the Asha'irah denied the names and attributes, so they singled it out to refute them, and it is included in tawhid al-rububiyyah. As for four categories, I do not know of that. Yes.
