Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: What is the response to those who say that dividing tawhid (the oneness of Allah) into three categories is imitating the Christians in their belief in the Trinity?
Answer:
We seek refuge in Allah from comparing the belief in tawhid (the oneness of Allah) to the Trinity. These three categories are taken from the Qur'an. All verses that speak of the actions and power of Allah fall under tawhid al-rububiyyah (oneness of lordship). All verses that speak of worshipping Allah fall under tawhid al-uluhiyyah (oneness of worship). And all verses that speak of the names and attributes of Allah fall under tawhid al-asma' wa al-sifat (oneness of the names and attributes). These types are derived from the Qur'an. But this person is ignorant, or a deceiver and misguiding, seeking to deceive. This is found in the Qur'an through induction. Yes.
