In the oneness of Allah lies liberation from everything other than Him.
0:16
For no human can be truly free while they remain beholden to anyone other than Allah in any aspect of their inner self,
0:23
or in the unfolding events of their life,
0:25
or in the values, laws, and ordinances that govern existence.
0:30
There is no liberation as long as the human heart remains in servitude to any of the aforementioned things,
0:35
or maintains an attachment, aspiration, or state of worship toward anything other than Allah.
0:40
This is why Tawhid is the only form of true human liberation in this life.
0:48
For Tawhid prevents polytheism and the multiplicity of deities.
0:52
And Tawhid eradicates the following of any customs, habits, or traditions,
0:58
or any rulings that contradict what Allah has revealed.
