The Relationship Between Security and Tawhid

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The question of the brother Abd al-Rahman, the other and the last one, says: Is there a relationship between security and tawhid (the oneness of Allah)?

Answer:
Yes, this is mentioned in the saying of Allah the Exalted:
They who believe and do not mix their belief with injustice - those will have security, and they are [rightly] guided.الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُوا إِيمَانَهُم بِظُلْمٍ أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمُ الْأَمْنُ وَهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ
[Al-An'am 6:82]
"Those who believed in Allah the Mighty and Majestic and made Him unique, and did not mix their faith with injustice." By injustice here is meant shirk (associating partners with Allah). Injustice is of three types, the most severe of which is shirk with Allah the Mighty and Majestic. It is called injustice because it places worship in other than its proper place, and injustice is placing a thing in other than its proper place. Therefore, security is not realized except with tawhid (the oneness of Allah). Absolute security is for the one who sincerely dedicates tawhid to Allah and is free from sins, transgressions, and evil deeds. And general security is for the one who sincerely dedicates tawhid to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, but commits some sins that are less than shirk. So praise be to Allah; security is tied to tawhid, correcting the creed, and singling out Allah, Exalted and Majestic, for worship. Yes.
