Summary of Sunni concepts
The purpose of believing in God Almighty
Faith in God Almighty includes four things
First, belief in the existence of God Almighty
Secondly, belief in the divinity of God Almighty
Thirdly, belief in the divinity of God Almighty
4- Belief in the Most Beautiful Names of God and His Sublime Attributes, and all of this is included in our saying: There is no god but God
The first duty of those responsible
Faith in God Almighty, in its previous meaning, is the first duty of the accountable according to the Sunnis and the community
It is an innate thing that God created people with
Although belief in God Almighty is an innate matter, theologians such as the Mu’tazilites, the Jahmiyyah, and some Ash’aris
They believe that the first duty of the taxpayer is to consider and reason
Some of them claim that the first duty is doubt because it leads to the intention of looking
Some of them make the goal and outcome of faith knowledge of the existence of the world and the origin of the Creator
All of this is false because knowing God and believing in Him is central to nature
The duty is to achieve this in reality without the need to require inference to it
Many common people do not know reasoning and reasoning and are not good at it
Belief in the existence of God Almighty
Most people acknowledge that there is a God in the universe
But many of them share in this acknowledgment that God makes two or more people
They associate other false gods with the true God
Only the prophets, messengers and their followers acknowledge the monotheism of God Almighty
As for those who denied the existence of God completely, they were few throughout time
Their large numbers were only known in the modern era, and they are currently called atheists
Most of them are communists, followers of Karl Marx
Their number seemed to increase in Western society
Some of them neither deny the existence of God nor prove it
He says I don't know whether there is a God or not
But even if there is a god in their view, he has nothing to do with their lives, as they claim
These people are called “I don’t know,” taking from their saying, “I don’t know.”
Belief in the existence of God and His oneness, along with His innate awareness, is also indicated by reason
Every contemplator of the precise system upon which the universe and everything in it operates
He realizes that there is no room for chance in this matter
The precision of the workmanship indicates the existence of the Maker, the Creator and Ruler of this universe
And this Creator is the Lord and God alone worthy of worship
It is also indicated by revelation
The Holy Qur’an, with its complete miracle, is in various fields of rhetoric, science, legislation, and news
It indicates that it is from God and is full of calls to believe in God and His monotheism
It is also indicated by sense
Like the miracles that God performed at the hands of His prophets beyond human capacity
And what he sees of the response to the calls of his prophets and saints as soon as they finish them
As happened when the rain fell shortly after the Messenger’s call for help, may God bless him and grant him peace
Who will answer these calls?
The monotheism of God Almighty has two aspects
The first aspect
The monotheism of God Almighty in His actions and attributes
Where the actions of God Almighty are not shared by any of His creatures
This is called monotheism of divinity
Likewise, His attributes, Glory be to Him, do not resemble the attributes of anyone else
This is called unifying names and attributes
This aspect includes two types of monotheism
Unification of divinity and unification of names and attributes
It is also called
Scientific unification of belief
Or theoretical scientific unification
Or unifying knowledge and proof
And the second side
Uniting the servants of God Almighty through their own actions
That is, unifying their intention and worship to God Almighty alone
This aspect includes the unification of divinity
It is also called
Unifying intent and demand
Or practical unification
Departments of monotheism
According to the previous concept
Scholars have divided monotheism into three sections
Firstly
Unification of divinity
It is the unification of God Almighty with His actions
Secondly
Unification of divinity
It is the unification of God Almighty with the actions of His servants
Third
Unifying nouns and adjectives
The call to monotheism
It is the call to bring people out of slavery and religion to anyone other than God Almighty
To worship God alone
And complete judgment is his
And disavowal of what is worshiped other than Him
They should not devote their worship to anyone other than God
They also do not turn to God only through tongues and worship rituals
Without hearts turning to Him, Glory be to Him
And he received legislation from him, the Almighty
And complete obedience to it
Rather, they unite God with tongues, rituals, and hearts
And complete compliance with its provisions
This is the meaning of the words of God Almighty
And We have certainly sent into every nation a Messenger to be the servant of God and to avoid obedience.
In the unity of God, freedom from everything else
No human being can be freed if he owes anything to anyone other than God in himself
Or in the course of his life
Or in the values, laws and laws that govern life
There is no liberation and there is condemnation in the human heart for any of the above
Attachment, aspiration, or servitude to other than God
This is why monotheism is the only form of true human liberation in this life
Monotheism prevents polytheism and polytheism
Monotheism eliminates following any customs, customs or traditions
Or rulings that contradict what God has revealed
In monotheism, he transformed from chaos to order
Belief in God and His monotheism is the turning point in human life
From slavery to the pull of forces, things and considerations
To one servitude to the one transcendent God
A servitude that elevates the soul above everything and every worldly consideration
It moves him from chaos and dispersion to order and unifies purpose and purpose
Without monotheism, humanity does not know for itself a straight purpose or a steady goal
It does not know a fulcrum around which it can gather in seriousness and equality
All existence is gathered together and organized by submission to the will of the One Almighty God
According to His constant laws and Sunnahs
God Almighty said: If there were gods in them except God, they would be corrupted
Glory be to God, Lord of the Throne, for what they describe
The word “There is no god but God” is a complete way of life that includes the belief aspect
The devotional aspect and the practical behavioral aspect of Murr's life
The heart cannot be stable or reassured except with monotheism
Where he realizes that there is no one to be loved for his own sake except God
There is no purpose for itself except God
And everything that loves and wants other than God should be subordinate to God’s will and love
In reality, everything ends with God Almighty
As God Almighty said, “And to your Lord is the end.”
There is no goal behind Him, Glory be to Him, that seeks or leads to an end
The word “There is no god but God” and its meaning
The word “There is no god but God” is a complete way of life
It includes the belief aspect and the devotional aspect
And the practical behavioral aspect of Murr's life
It is the greatest word ever revealed from God
Because it included the religion that all the messengers brought from God Almighty
It is the greatest truth by which people become believers and unbelievers
Good guys and bad guys
It is a testimony to God’s uniqueness in oneness and innocence from polytheism
As God Almighty said, Say, “He is but one God.”
And I am innocent of what you associate
Methods that lead to the knowledge that there is no god but God
God Almighty says, “Know that there is no god but God.”
This knowledge of this great word has methods and means, the most important of which are
First, consider the names and attributes of God Almighty that indicate His perfection and greatness
It produces good deification and devotion to God
To Him belongs all praise, glory, majesty and beauty
Secondly, knowledge of God’s lordship and uniqueness in creation and management
This results in realizing his uniqueness and deserving of divinity
Thirdly, the knowledge that he is gifted with religious and worldly blessings on an equal basis
The apparent and the hidden
This results in the heart’s attachment to God and love for Him
Fourth, knowing the descriptions of idols and equals other than God
Realizing that she is incomplete in all aspects and poor in essence
It has neither benefit nor harm for itself or for its worshipers
No death, no life, no resurrection
Knowing all of this results in realizing that there is no god but God
And everything else is invalid
Fifthly, it is necessary to contemplate the Book of God Almighty
This results in complete knowledge of the oneness of God and His uniqueness in worship
Sixth: Consider the guidance of the messengers and prophets
And their sincerity in uniting God and worshiping Him
Seventh, consider the signs of God seen in souls and horizons
They all indicate monotheism with the greatest significance
It bears witness to the oneness of the Maker and the marvelous work he made in the universe
Each of these paths leads to the knowledge that there is no god but God
So what if they come together and collude?
Then faith becomes firmly established in the heart of the believing servant
Knowledge of the meaning of the word monotheism
The purity, accuracy and purity of monotheism
Monotheism is the purest, most accurate, and purest thing
The slightest thing scratches it, affects it, and takes away its beauty
But there are people whose monotheism is great and great
He is immersed in a lot that confuses him
From a word, a moment, or a hidden desire
Like plenty of water that does not carry impurity
Thus, he is considered to be one whose monotheism is lower than the one who possessed great monotheism
His monotheism is disturbed by such distortions and distortions
This affects him greatly
He is also the owner of pure monotheism
He pays attention early to what defiles his monotheism, even if it is small
He treats this quickly and comes back from what happened
This was the case with the Companions, may God be pleased with them
And the righteous predecessors after them
It has been said about them that the people's sins were reduced
So they knew where they came from
An example of this was demonstrated by Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him
When he opposed the peace treaty of Hudaybiyyah
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, reviewed it
Then he quickly regretted it deeply
He continued to give alms, fast, pray, and free himself
Fear of this opposition and atonement for it
While the weak in faith and monotheism does not realize such awareness
He should not go back on what he does, which would undermine his monotheism
He is also the owner of strong monotheism and many virtues
He forgives what he does not forgive someone who does not have such monotheism and these good deeds
Let one pay attention to his monotheism
And to protect it from everything that scratches it
Until he achieves the greatest fruit of monotheism
It is salvation from hellfire and victory in paradise
Whoever prefers this world has spoiled his goal and his behavior violates the requirements of monotheism
Unfortunately, some people may inherit the knowledge of their predecessors
Their faith is believed theoretically
But his focus was on the world
And any of its adornments and embellishments
He takes him out of what he inherited
It leads to misguidance in perceptions and deviation in behavior
He felt it or not
While he mourns the people of heretical beliefs for their heresies
Satan leads him into heresies of another kind
Such as being loyal to the people of falsehood and belittling their falsehood
It becomes a ladder and a ladder for the rise of tyrants and those with desires
Everyone who prefers this world over the afterlife is among the people of knowledge
He must say something other than the truth about God in his fatwa and ruling
Because the rulings of the Lord Almighty often come contrary to people’s purposes
Especially the people of leadership among them
Those who achieve their goals only by violating the right and pushing it away
He falls in love with the world among the people of knowledge who are tempted by it
In denying, distorting and concealing the truth
Compliance with those with leadership and desires
And for fear of missing out on his share of the world
As God Almighty said about the People of the Book
They take this lowest offer
They say we will be forgiven
If an offer like it comes to them, they will take it
Was not the covenant of the book taken from them?
That they say nothing about God except the truth
And they studied what was in it
The Hereafter is better for those who fear
Do you not understand?
So God Almighty told us that they would take the lowest offer
It is a worldly offer
Knowing that it is forbidden to them
They say we will be forgiven
They insist on what they are and repeat it
If an offer like it comes to them, they will take it
This causes them to go against the truth
And they say there is something different about God
Instead of speaking out and defending it
Conditions for using the word monotheism
There is no god but God
The word monotheism is the first condition
The main reason for entering Paradise
As he, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
I bear witness that there is no god but God
And I am the Messenger of God
No servant will meet God with them without doubting them
Unless he enters heaven
Narrated by Muslim
But its conditions must be met
Until the woman enters heaven
It was said to Wahb bin Munabbih
Isn't the key to heaven there is no god but God?
He said yes
There is no key without teeth
Whoever comes to the door with his teeth, it will be opened for him
And whoever does not bring it with his teeth, it will not be opened for him
The teeth of the key are the terms of this word
She is first
Knowledge in its sense
Contrary to ignorance of this
God Almighty said
He knew that there is no god but God
He, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
Whoever dies knowing that there is no god but God
He entered heaven
Narrated by Muslim
Secondly
Certainty that contradicts doubt and uncertainty
God Almighty said
The believers are only those who believe in God and His Messenger
Then they were not suspicious
And he, may God bless him and grant him peace, said to Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him
Who did you find behind this wall?
He bears witness that there is no god but God
His heart is certain of it
So give him good news of Paradise
Narrated by Muslim
As for the doubter
He is one of the people of hypocrisy
As God Almighty said
Only those who do not believe in God and the Last Day will seek you as hosts
And their hearts doubted
In their doubt, they hesitate
Third
Acceptance of the heart and tongue of this word and what it requires
Its opposite is denial, shunning, and arrogance
It is the action of the unbelievers
They denied it and said
Make the gods one God
This is amazing
They were too arrogant to accept it
As God Almighty said
When they were told, “There is no god but God,” they would become arrogant
Fourth
Submitting to what the word indicates and what it requires
It is Islam
Which means surrender to God Almighty
And his orders
God Almighty said
And repent to your Lord and submit to Him
And God Almighty said
And whoever submits his face to God and is a doer of good
He held on to the firmest handhold
The strongest link is the word monotheism
And contemplation of leadership and its purpose
Offering what God loves, even if it contradicts one’s desires
And he hates what God hates, even if his desires incline towards him
Fifth
Honesty in what she says contradicts lying
That is when he says it sincerely from his heart
His heart obeys his tongue
Lying is a supplication that deceives God and the believers
This is the case of hypocrites
As God Almighty said
And some people say
We believed in God and the Last Day
And they are not believers
They deceive God and those who believe
They only deceive themselves
And what they feel
There is a disease in their hearts
So God made them sicker
And for them is a painful punishment
Because they were lying
He, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
There is no one who bears witness that there is no god but God
And I am the Messenger of God
Honesty from his heart
Unless God forbids him to Hell
Agreed
VI
Sincerity
It is to filter her words with good intentions and remove the impurities of polytheism
And that there is no purpose behind uttering it other than the intention of the one who said it to his Lord
God Almighty said
They were commanded only to worship God, sincerely in religion and upright with Him
He, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
God forbids Hellfire from anyone who says there is no god but God
By doing so he seeks the face of God
Agreed
Seventh
Loving this word and what it indicates and requires
And the love of its people who work there
And hating what contradicts it
God Almighty said
Among the people are those who take others besides God as equals, loving them as they love God
And those who believe have greater love for God
A good ending is the one who concludes his words in this world with the word of monotheism
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
Whoever says his last words in this world, “There is no god but God,” will enter Paradise
Narrated by Abu Dawud and Al-Hakim, authenticated by Al-Dhahabi
The secret of that, and God knows best
This is a testimony that there is no god but God at the time of death
It has a great effect in expiating and preventing bad deeds
Because it is a testimony from a servant who is confident in it and knows its content
Desires have died from him
His rebellious soul softened and came back after turning away
Her interest in the world and her curiosity came out of her
She surrendered herself in the hands of her Lord, her Creator, and his True Master
He humiliated what was his and hoped for what was his pardon
This pure testimony to God was the conclusion of his work
So she cleansed him of his sins and brought him before his Lord and Master
With the apparent agreement of his inner self and his secret to his openness
The meaning of the names Al-Wahid and Al-Ahad and the difference between them
One of the most beautiful names of God
They are mentioned in the Qur’an and Sunnah
The name of one is mentioned in the Holy Quran more than twenty times
An example of this is the saying of God Almighty
Say: God is the Creator of everything and He is the One, the All-Powerful
As for the name Sunday, it is only mentioned in the words of God Almighty
Say: He is God, one. The two great names indicate the oneness of God Almighty
But there are the following two differences between them
First in the case of denial
The name one is more general than the name one
If it is said that what is in the house is one
It may mean that there are two or more
But if it is said that there is no one in the house
This indicates that sex is completely denied
Secondly, in the case of proof
It is not permissible to describe anything by name except God Almighty
It is not said that anyone's leg or anyone's clothing
While one word makes it a description of anything I want
It is said that one man and one dress
The bottom line is that God is one and the same
He is the one who is unique in his lordship and divinity
Also, the name Sunday indicates the denial of any partner with God Almighty
