A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.509 --> 00:00:16.629
The Oneness of Allah, the Exalted, is established in two ways.

00:00:16.629 --> 00:00:18.629
The first way is:

00:00:18.629 --> 00:00:22.629
The Oneness of Allah, the Exalted, in His actions and His attributes.

00:00:22.629 --> 00:00:29.629
For in the actions of Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, none of His creation shares with Him.

00:00:29.629 --> 00:00:32.630
This is called the Oneness of Lordship (Tawhid al-Rububiyyah).

00:00:32.630 --> 00:00:37.630
Likewise, His attributes, glorified be He, do not resemble the attributes of anyone.

00:00:37.630 --> 00:00:40.630
This is called the Oneness of Names and Attributes (Tawhid al-Asma' wa al-Sifat).

00:00:40.630 --> 00:00:44.630
Thus, this first way encompasses two types of Oneness:

00:00:44.630 --> 00:00:46.630
The Oneness of Lordship.

00:00:46.630 --> 00:00:49.630
And the Oneness of Names and Attributes.

00:00:49.630 --> 00:00:51.630
It is also called:

00:00:51.630 --> 00:00:54.630
The theoretical and creedal Oneness.

00:00:54.630 --> 00:00:57.630
Or the theoretical and speculative Oneness.

00:00:57.630 --> 00:01:00.630
Or the Oneness of knowledge and affirmation.

00:01:00.630 --> 00:01:02.759
The second way is:

00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:06.760
The Oneness of the servants' worship of Allah, the Exalted, through their own actions.

00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:11.790
Meaning, the unification of their intentions and their worship toward Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, alone.

00:01:11.790 --> 00:01:15.920
This way encompasses the Oneness of Divinity (Tawhid al-Uluhiyyah).

00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:17.920
It is also called:

00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:22.920
The Oneness of intention and seeking, or practical Oneness.

00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:27.560
