Attachment to other than Allah and its relation to tawhid (the oneness of Allah)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, does attachment to other than Allah contradict the perfection of tawhid (the oneness of Allah)?
Answer:
Attachment to other than Allah contradicts tawhid (the oneness of Allah). It is not permissible to attach oneself to other than Allah in seeking benefit or warding off harm. Rather, the believer places his hope and reliance upon Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and does not attach himself to other than Allah. Whoever attaches himself to other than Allah, Allah leaves him to that to which he attached himself. Yes.
