The Term Tawhid According to the Theologians

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He has another section in which he asks: What is the term tawhid (the oneness of Allah) according to the theologians?

Answer:
For the theologians, tawhid is tawhid al-rububiyyah (oneness of lordship). If you single out Allah with His actions, such as creation, provision, giving life, causing death, and so on, that is what they consider tawhid. This is invalid; because tawhid al-uluhiyyah (oneness of worship) is necessary, singling out Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) with worship, and tawhid al-rububiyyah alone is not sufficient. Tawhid has two types: tawhid al-rububiyyah and tawhid al-uluhiyyah. Tawhid al-rububiyyah includes tawhid al-asma' wa al-sifat (oneness of the names and attributes). Therefore, the Muslim must learn his creed and its details. Yes.
