Praise be to Allah. Tawheed (Arabic word) means attributing Oness to Allah and describing him as being one and unique, with no partner in his attributes. Allah created man and settled him on the earth.Allah has kept an unceasing watch over him. Life and death are equally in his hands, whatever a man gains or losses it is all a matter of will of God. He(God) nether slumbers nor sleep takes over him.
ย Let us introspect ourselves whether we are following oneness or we attribute to his majesty. In the contemporary times I myself have seen many so called well educated people visiting shrines and paying their obeisance not in a proper way, which is quite disheartening. How long shall we dwell in this darkness. Don’t we remember the time when prophet Ibrahim (AS) propagated the Oneness,even he didn’t accept his father’s saying who was fallen in worshiping idols. The whole incident is revealed in Holy , “O my father there has come to me a knowledge that which came not unto you, so follow me i will guide to a straight pathpath, his father said, do you reject my gods O Ibrahim? If you don’t stop, I will indeed stone you. So get away from me before I punish you. Ibrahim said, Peace be upon you I will ask forgiveness of my Lord for you. I will turn away those whom you invoke besides Allah. So tawheed is indispensable part of your Imaan.
ย The strong belief of tawheed gives you mental peace. All the Messengers from time to time began their call with tawheed which they were commanded by Allah to convey it to the people. Keeping in mind the teachings of Holy Quran we must not bow or seek wishes to fulfill before any one except Allah. Let each and every thing hands over Almighty to do good for us. Looking at our surroundings people are discussing and debating over the things, that don’t have any relevance in Holy Quran and Hadith, but proclaiming an unnecessary justification. I am composing this write up without targeting any sect but just got perception in my mind where we are heading towards. We must be enough vigilant while teaching our kids whether in schools, colleges, universities and abroad. The concept of tawheed and it’s teachings is dwindling gradually in younger generation which is serious cause of concern. We shouldn’t rely upon unorthodox mental setup by not sending our wards to different schools prevailing in our state or other but the responsibility that everyone should have in this regard is strong idea of Tawheed(Oneness).A believer can never be narrow in outlook. He believes in God who is creator of this universe, after this belief he/she doesn’t regard anything in the world as a stranger to himself. He looks on everything in the world belongs to Almighty none can can even make a dust particle. Let me share the story of a couple whom I met before years and they don’t have child of their own, and they been running from pillar to the post/medical consultation, peers and so on. As soon as they put everything aside and prayed and lamented before Almighty the got their own child in their family. Look what Holy Quran says, It is me and my will I give someone only sons, someone only daughters, someone both sons and daughters, someone neither daughters nor sons, then why should we attend the wordly peers, and others and others. This is prima facia from the sacred book to every human being. So having strong belief in Tawheed in the contemporary times is just walking on the edge of the knife.
ย ย The believer never becomes despondent. He has a firm faith in Allah who is master of all the treasures of the earth and heavens, whose grace, mercy have no limit and whose powers are infinite. This faith imparts to his heart extraordinary consolation, fills it with satisfaction and keeps it filled with hope, although he may meet rejection from all sides in this worldworld, faith in and dependence on Allah never leave him . Strong belief produces in man a very strong determination , patient preservance, and trust in God. When an individual makes up his mind and devotes his resources in fulfilling the divine commands inorder to secure Allahs pleasure he is sure that he has support and backing from Almighty. The believer understands that everything is subjected to His will, if He wills to give no power in the world can prevent Him from doing soso, and if He doesn’t will no power can force Him to. One who has a belief that Allah knows everything hidden or open is true belief in Him. People at the helm of affairs must ensure that the education they provide their children is going under the umbrella of Tawheed Or not, if they show lackadaisical approach at this juncture then it surely the matter of grave concern. Let Almighty Allah’s blessing be upon us and shadow of Tawheed to remain forever there. Then we will be among the successful unit of Ummah here and hereafter.
