The Oneness of Allah (Tawheed)

2025-01-22T21:15:00.007+01:00

Tawhid refers to the belief in Allah as the sole God and Lord, attributing to Him alone all the qualities of Lordship and divinity. It is the essence of Islamic monotheism and is categorized into three key aspects:

Tawhid al-Rububiyyah (Oneness of Divine Lordship): Recognizing Allah as the sole Creator, Sustainer, and Controller of the universe.
Tawhid al-Uluhiyyah (Oneness of Divinity): Worshiping Allah alone without associating any partners with Him.
Tawhid al-Asma wa’l-Sifat (Oneness of the Divine Names and Attributes): Affirming that Allah's names and attributes are unique and unparalleled, as revealed in the Quran and Sunnah.

This word (Tawhid) and its derivatives are used with this meaning in the Quran and Sunnah. For example:

Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Say (O Muhammad): He is Allah, (the) One [Ahad]. Allah-us-Samad [Allah — the Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, (He neither eats nor drinks)]. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him” [al-Ikhlas 112:1-4]

“And your Ilah (God) is One Ilah [ilahun wahidun] (God — Allah), La Ilaha illa Huwa (there is none who has the right to be worshipped but He), the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful” [al-Baqarah 2:163]

“Surely, disbelievers are those who said: ‘Allah is the third of the three (in a Trinity).’ But there is no Ilah (god) (none who has the right to be worshipped) but One Ilah [ilahun wahidun] (God —Allah). And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall on the disbelievers among them” [al-Maidah 5:73]

In Sahih al-Bukhari (7372) and Sahih Muslim (19) it is narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sent Mu’adh ibn Jabal to Yemen, he said to him: “You are going to people from among the People of the Book, so let the first thing to which you call them be belief in Allah alone (Tawhid). If they accept that, then tell them that Allah has enjoined on them five prayers every day and night. If they pray then tell them that Allah has enjoined on them zakah from their wealth to be taken from their rich and given to their poor. If they agree to that then take it from them but avoid the best of people’s wealth.”

In Sahih Muslim it is narrated from Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Islam is builton five (pillars) : belief that Allah is One, establishing regular prayer, paying zakah, fasting Ramadan and Hajj.”

Tawhid is the core of the testimony that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. It represents the foundation of Islam, the faith Allah sent with His Prophet to guide both humankind and jinn. No other religion or belief system will be accepted by Allah apart from this.

And Allah knows best.

The Benefits of Tahajjud Prayer

2024-12-31T01:48:00.003+01:00

The Tahajjud prayer is a highly recommended voluntary (Nafl) act of worship in Islam. Performed during the last third of the night, it offers immense spiritual, psychological, and physical benefits. It is a profound means to strengthen one’s connection with Allah and attain blessings in both this life and the Hereafter. Below are the key benefits:

1. Spiritual Benefits

a. Closeness to Allah

Tahajjud allows believers to draw closer to Allah and earn His pleasure. It is highlighted in the Quran:

"And during a part of the night, pray Tahajjud beyond what is incumbent on you; perhaps your Lord will raise you to a position of great glory."
(Surah Al-Isra, 17:79)

b. Forgiveness of Sins

Tahajjud serves as a gateway for seeking forgiveness. In the last third of the night, Allah descends to the lowest heaven and proclaims:

"Is there anyone invoking Me that I may respond to their invocation? Is there anyone asking Me for something that I may grant them? Is there anyone seeking My forgiveness that I may forgive them?"
(Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim)

c. Acceptance of Supplications (Duas)

Prayers made during Tahajjud are more likely to be accepted due to the sincerity and effort involved in waking up solely for Allah’s worship.

d. Strengthens Faith (Iman)

Regularly praying Tahajjud deepens one’s reliance on Allah, strengthening faith and fostering spiritual growth.

2. Psychological and Emotional Benefits

a. Inner Peace

The calm and tranquility of the night enhance focus and mindfulness, bringing peace to the heart.

b. Stress Relief

Tahajjud offers a time to reflect, express gratitude, and seek Allah’s assistance, helping to alleviate stress and anxiety.

c. Builds Discipline

Consistently waking up for Tahajjud develops self-discipline and improves time management skills.

d. Emotional Healing

In the solitude of the night, one can share personal struggles with Allah, fostering emotional healing and relief.

3. Physical Benefits

a. Boosts Energy

Despite involving early waking, many people find Tahajjud revitalizing, providing renewed energy for the day ahead.

b. Improves Health

Night prayers and mindfulness have been linked to reduced stress, improved mental health, and better sleep quality.

c. Enhances Productivity

Waking up for Tahajjud fosters a productive routine, allowing one to maximize the blessings of the early morning hours.

4. Social and Ethical Benefits

a. Cultivates Humility

Through Tahajjud, believers demonstrate humility and gratitude, submitting to Allah in the most private and sincere manner.

b. Strengthens Willpower

Waking up for night prayers instills resilience, helping individuals overcome laziness and distractions.

c. Inspires Good Deeds

The blessings (barakah) gained from Tahajjud motivate a person to engage in more righteous actions throughout the day.

Prophetic Teachings on Tahajjud

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) consistently performed Tahajjud and encouraged his followers to do so.

He said:

“The best prayer after the obligatory prayers is the night prayer.”
(Sahih Muslim)

Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated:

"The Prophet would stand (in prayer) at night until his feet would swell. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, why do you do this when Allah has forgiven your past and future sins?' He replied, 'Should I not be a grateful servant?'"
(Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim)

How to Perform Tahajjud

Time: The most recommended time is the last third of the night, just before Fajr.
Rakats: Perform at least two rakats; there is no fixed limit.
Supplication: After completing the prayer, make sincere duas for personal needs and forgiveness.
Intention: Pray solely for Allah’s pleasure and nearness.

Tahajjud is a remarkable act of worship that yields countless blessings. It fosters a stronger relationship with Allah, promotes peace of mind, and encourages self-reflection and growth. By embracing Tahajjud, believers not only enrich their spiritual lives but also experience physical and emotional benefits, leading to a more fulfilled and purposeful existence.

Islam has not only permitted Nikah but encouraged it. Islam emphasised its importance on Muslim society, All Muslim are commanded by Allah (SWT) to engage in Nikah and actively support each other in this endeavour: In Quran 24:32; Arrange the marriage of the spouseless among you, and the capable from among your bondmen and bondwomen. If they are poor, Allah will enrich them out of His grace. Allah is All- Encompassing, All-Knowing. Muslim women also commanded by Allah (SWT) to choose a suitable spouse: Quran 2:232; When you have divorced women, and they have reached (the end of) their waiting period, do not prevent them from marrying their husbands when they mutually agree with fairness. Thus the advice is given to everyone of you who believes in Allah and in the Hereafter. This is more pure and clean for you. Allah knows and you do not know. In fact, Allah (SWT) describes his special blessings to Prophets (AS) having granted them wives and children: [Quran 13:38] We have sent messengers before you, and gave them wives and children. It is not for a messenger to bring a verse without the will of Allah. For every age there are some rules prescribed. Our beloved Rasul-ullah (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) also commanded Muslims to engage in Nikah as it is best for their character and modesty and helps them with guarding their gaze. Narrated 'Abdullah (RA): We were with the Prophet (S.A.W) while we were young and had no wealth whatever. So Allah's Apostle (S.A.W) said, "O young people! Whoever among you can marry, should marry, because it helps him lower his gaze and guard his modesty (i.e. his private parts from committing illegal sexual intercourse etc.), and whoever is not able to marry, should fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power." [Bukhari]. May Allah make easy for all Muslim Brothers and Sisters in the World.

Getting Married

2016-05-21T11:34:00.001+01:00

Getting married isn’t going to solve our inabilities to wake up for Fajr or get up for qiyam. We need to develop our own selves without expecting marriage to somehow magically change our lives. Marriage can be a great tool of self-improvement and can help us change for the best, with Allah’s will. Marriage is amongst the greatest blessings that Allah (swt) can bestow on a person; and the creation of a family, and taking care of that family, is amongst the greatest acts of worship. But if we are not personally working on ourselves now, how can we expect that it will be easier with the additional baggage of another individual who is also imperfect?

Ibn Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: After the battle of Hunain, Messenger of Allah (PBUH) favoured some people in the distribution of spoils (for consolation). He gave Al-Aqra` bin Habis and `Uyainah bin Hisn a hundred camels each and showed favour also to some more honourable persons among the Arabs. Someone said: "This division is not based on justice and it was not intended to win the Pleasure of Allah.'' I said to myself: "By Allah! I will inform Messenger of Allah (PBUH) of this.'' I went to him and informed him. His face became red and he said, "Who will do justice if Allah and His Messenger do not?'' Then he said, "May Allah have mercy on (Prophet) Musa (Moses); he was caused more distress than this but he remained patient.'' Having heard this I said to myself: "I shall never convey anything of this kind to him in future".

Hadith by Khabbab bin Al-Aratt

Khabbab bin Al-Aratt (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: We complained to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) regarding the persecution inflicted upon us by the disbelievers while he was lying in the shade of the Ka`bah, having made a pillow of his cloak. We submitted: "Why do you not supplicate for our prevalence (over the opponents)?''. He (PBUH) replied, "Among those people before you, a man would be seized and held in a pit dug for him in the ground and he would be sawed into two halves from his head, and his flesh torn away from his bones with an iron comb; but, in spite of this, he would not wean away from his Faith. By Allah, Allah will bring this matter to its consummation until a rider will travel from San`a' to Hadramout fearing none except Allah, and except the wolf for his sheep, but you are in too much of a hurry".
[Al-Bukhari].
Another narration is: He (PBUH) had placed his cloak under his head and we had been tortured by the polytheists.

Commentary:
1. Difficulties in the path of Faith do not come in any particular period. People devoted to their Deen have passed through trials and tribulations everywhere and in every age and have emerged purified as does the gold after passing through the furnace. So, it is unbecoming for a Muslim to be disturbed by hardships.

Hadith by Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying, "Allah, the Glorious and Exalted said: `When I afflict my slave in his two dear things (i.e., his eyes), and he endures patiently, I shall compensate him for them with Jannah.".
[Al-Bukhari].

Commentary: Blindness is the greatest deprivation in the world and Allah grants its reward according to His Pleasure. For this reason patience in this case is highly meritorious. Its reward is Jannah provided the blind is enormously rich in Faith.
