A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
0:08
Regarding the effects of Tawhid al-Uluhiyyah (the Oneness of Worship).
0:13
Tawhid al-Uluhiyyah has profound effects upon the believing servant and their heart.
0:18
Among the most important of these, firstly:
0:21
A profound love for Allah.
0:24
This love takes precedence over the love of one’s own self, family, and children.
0:28
And all other beloved things in this world and the Hereafter.
0:32
This is because Allah, the One worshipped and adored,
0:35
Is alone the Bestower and the One who grants all these beloved things.
0:40
He is the source and origin of all love.
0:43
This necessitates loving Him with the greatest love.
0:47
It also necessitates loving those whom He loves and what He loves.
0:51
And hating those whom He hates and what He hates.
0:54
It entails showing loyalty and enmity for the sake of Allah.
0:57
Through this, a person tastes the sweetness of faith.
1:01
As the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
1:04
"There are three qualities which, if found in anyone, will cause them to taste the sweetness of faith:
1:08
That Allah and His Messenger are more beloved to them
1:12
Than anything else besides them;
1:14
That they love a person only for the sake of Allah;
1:18
And that they would hate to return to disbelief
1:21
Just as they would hate to be cast into the Fire."
1:24
Agreed upon.
1:27
Secondly: Magnifying Allah, the Almighty and Majestic.
1:30
And dedicating worship sincerely to Him alone,
1:33
Such as prayer and fasting,
1:35
And animal sacrifice, vows, and supplication,
1:38
Along with other acts of worship of the heart.
1:41
For no act of worship may be directed
1:45
To anyone other than Allah, the Almighty and Majestic.
1:47
Thirdly: Finding honor in being attributed to Him,
1:51
And relying upon Him.
1:53
This leads to the disappearance of fear and awe
1:55
Of the creation and of becoming attached to them.
1:57
The believer finds no honor and seeks no protection
2:00
Except in Allah, the Magnificent.
2:02
And they rely upon no one but Him alone.
2:05
As the Almighty says:
2:07
“And trust thou in the Living One Who dieth not, and hymn His praise. He sufficeth as the Knower of His bondmen's sins,” (25:58)
2:11
Fourthly:
2:13
The tranquility of the heart and its intimacy with Allah, the Almighty and Majestic.
2:17
The Almighty says:
2:19
“Who have believed and whose hearts have rest in the remembrance of Allah. Verily in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest!” (13:28)
2:23
Fifthly:
2:25
Since the name of Majesty,
2:27
Allah,
2:28
Necessitates all His other names and attributes,
2:32
Every effect resulting from the names and attributes of Allah
2:36
Is but an effect of this magnificent name.
2:39
And among its requirements:
2:41
Sixthly:
2:43
Singling out Allah, the Exalted, in judgment and seeking His verdict.
2:47
As the Almighty says:
2:49
“Shall I seek other than Allah for judge, when He it is Who hath revealed unto you (this) Scripture, fully explained? Those unto whom We gave the Scripture (aforetime) know that it is revealed from thy Lord in truth. So be not thou (O Muhammad) of the waverers.” (6:114)
2:52
“Shall I seek other than Allah for judge, when He it is Who hath revealed unto you (this) Scripture, fully explained? Those unto whom We gave the Scripture (aforetime) know that it is revealed from thy Lord in truth. So be not thou (O Muhammad) of the waverers.” (6:114)
