(Changing the term *tarkib* to the term *tawhid*) is a detestable, religiously innovative term*** that we condemn with every tongue, and the term *tawhid* we place in the position of the term

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"It is a detestable, religiously innovative term ***" The pronoun "it" refers to the term *tarkib*
"A detestable, religiously innovative term *** that we condemn with every tongue
and the term *tawhid* we place in the position *** of the term *tarkib* in clarification
and the term *tawhid* is more worthy of purity *** and of elevation for one who has two ears
this is *tawhid* according to the messengers, not *** the followers of Jahm, the partisans of disbelief"

This means that instead of saying *tarkib*, we say *tawhid*, so we say that affirming the attributes for Allah the Exalted is not *tarkib* but rather *tawhid*, and it is impossible for a self to exist without an attribute, absolutely. So if we say that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) is described with the attributes befitting Him without likening Him to creation, this is *tawhid* and not *tarkib*.
