Tawheed which has been demanded from mankind.Tawheed al-Uloohiyyah is the
Tawheed which has been demanded, and this is why all of the Messengers started
their call to their people with their statement "O my people! Worship
Allâh! You have no other Ilâh (God) but Him." Al-A'raf 7:59,
calling to Tawheed al-Uloohiyyah as the Qur'an informs us about them. And
that is because Tawheed al-Uloohiyyah is the one that has been disguised for
mankind by the shayateen. And as for Tawheed ar-Ruboohiyyah, then it is something
which has been achieved and it is present and established in the souls. And
confinement to it and being content with only that does not make the slave
successful, and it does not enter him in the circle of al-Muwahhideen al-Mu'mineen
(the believers who actualize tawheed), and because of this the Messenger (saw)
killed the disbelievers of Quraish, and they acknowledged that indeed Allah
was their creator, the provider, the disposer of Affaris, the ever living
who never dies; he killed them and he made the spilling of their blood lawful
until they acknowledged Tawheed al-Uloohiyyah. He (saw) said, "I have
been ordered to fight against people until they testify that there is no god
but Allah and there is nothing worthy of worship other than Allah,and if they
say that thier lives and property will be protected from me, unless (they
do acts that are punishable) in accordance with Islam, and their reckoning
will be with Allah the Almighty."[2] So this is proof that the great
demand from the creation is Tawheed al-Uloohiyyah and because of this he (saw)
never said, "I've been ordered to fight the people unless they establish
that Allah is the creator, provider, the ever living that never dies"
because they already acknowldge that, but he said: "until they say Laa
ilaaha illallaa (nothing is worthy of worship other than Allah)"...
