The Tablighi Jama'at introduced six characteristics. When we discuss this with them, they say: The basis of it is correct, like the innovation of the Ahl al-Sunnah in categorizing tawhid (the oneness of Allah), where there is no text for it.

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some groups coin certain terms, such as the Tablighi Jama'at, which coins the six characteristics. When we discuss this with them, they say that the basis of it is correct, like the innovation of the Ahl al-Sunnah in categorizing tawhid (the oneness of Allah), where there is no text for it. Is their statement correct?

Answer:
The Ahl al-Sunnah did not innovate the categories of tawhid (the oneness of Allah). We took them from the Book and the Sunnah. They are found in the Qur'an: These are the categories of tawhid. These are the categories of tawhid.
So all the verses regarding the actions of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) and His decrees are in tawhid al-rububiyyah (oneness of lordship). And all the verses regarding the actions of the servants by which they draw near to Allah, and what Allah has commanded of acts of worship, are in tawhid al-uluhiyyah (oneness of worship). And all the verses regarding the names of Allah and His attributes are in tawhid al-asma' wa al-sifat (oneness of the names and attributes).
They did not bring anything from themselves. As for these six characteristics, they brought them from themselves. What is their evidence from the Book and the Sunnah? Let them bring us evidence from the Book and the Sunnah for these six characteristics, and we will submit to the evidence. Yes.
