The Division of Tawhid
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the division of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) a terminological division, or is it inductive? And what is the benefit of distinguishing between them?
Answer:
Answer: The division of tawhid is based on what came in the Qur'an. The verses that explain tawhid al-rububiyyah (oneness of lordship), such as creation, provision, giving life, causing death, and management, are in the category of tawhid al-rububiyyah. The verses that command worshipping Allah alone, with no partner, and prohibit shirk (associating partners with Allah), are in the category of tawhid al-uluhiyyah (oneness of worship). The verses that explain the names and attributes of Allah are in the category of tawhid al-asma' wa al-sifat (oneness of the names and attributes). These are the three divisions of tawhid: tawhid al-rububiyyah, tawhid al-uluhiyyah, and tawhid al-asma' wa al-sifat.
