The Realization of Tawhid in Hajj and the Meaning of Talbiyah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: How is tawhid (the oneness of Allah) realized in Hajj? And what is the meaning of talbiyah?
Answer:
No deeds are accepted by Allah except with tawhid (the oneness of Allah). If there is shirk (associating partners with Allah), whether major or minor, they are not accepted. Major shirk invalidates all deeds, while minor shirk invalidates only the deed it mixed with, and does not invalidate other deeds. However, the Muslim should increase his recitation of the talbiyah, which includes "Here I am, here I am, You have no partner. Here I am, here I am, You have no partner." This negates any partner for Allah in His lordship, His divinity, His names, and His attributes. Also, another condition is required for worship, which is following the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), so one avoids bid'ah (religious innovations) and newly invented matters.
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 4607Sahih (Al-Albani). So one avoids shirk (associating partners with Allah) and also avoids bid'ah (religious innovations) and newly invented matters, and walks in accordance with the Book and the Sunnah. As He (Exalted and Majestic is He) said: [Al-Baqarah 2:196] [Al-Baqarah 2:196] meaning sincerely. This contains two conditions: the condition of following and the condition of sincerity. Yes.

The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
for every novelty is an innovation, and every innovation is an error.
فإن كل محدثة بدعة وكل بدعة ضلالةAnd complete the Hajj and 'umrah for Allah
وَأَتِمُّوا الْحَجَّ وَالْعُمْرَةَ لِلَّهِTake from me your rituals of Hajj
خذوا عني مناسككمAnd complete the Hajj and 'umrah for Allah
وَأَتِمُّوا الْحَجَّ وَالْعُمْرَةَ لِلَّهِ
