Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the status of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) among the acts of worship, with an explanation of its virtue?
Answer:
Answer: Acts of worship are not valid unless tawhid (the oneness of Allah) is realized. If tawhid is realized and shirk (associating partners with Allah) is negated, then the acts of worship are valid. However, as long as there is shirk, the acts of worship are not valid. {And it has been revealed to you and to those before you: "If you should associate [others] with Allah, your deeds would surely become worthless, and you would surely be among the losers."} "La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammadun rasul Allah" (There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah) is the first pillar of the pillars of Islam.
