General Practices Which Are Incompatible With Islamic principles of Tawhid
Muhtasari
One of the fundamental concepts in Islamic theology is Tawhid, which is the belief in the Oneness of Allah. Tawhid encompasses the unity, uniqueness, and sovereignty of Allah in all aspects. It is essential for every Muslim to understand and uphold the principles of Tawhid in their beliefs and actions.
As part of our course material on 'General Practices Which Are Incompatible With Islamic principles of Tawhid,' we delve into identifying and understanding practices that contradict the core tenets of Tawhid. These practices, if engaged in, can lead to shirk, the gravest sin in Islam which involves associating partners with Allah.
Superstition is one such practice that goes against Tawhid. Allah is the ultimate controller of all affairs, and believing in superstitions detracts from this belief in His absolute power and knowledge. The Quran in Surah Al-Furqan (Q.25:43) and Surah Al-Jinn (Q.72:6) warns against succumbing to superstitions and divinations.
Another incompatible practice is engaging in fortune-telling. Seeking knowledge of the unseen through fortune-tellers contradicts the belief in Allah's exclusive knowledge of the future. Surah Al-Hijr (Q.15:16-18) and Surah As-Saaffat (Q.37:6-10) explicitly prohibit fortune-telling as it leads to deviation from Tawhid.
Magic and witchcraft are forms of disbelief that directly violate the Oneness of Allah. Surah Al-Baqarah (Q.2:102), Surah Ta Ha (Q.20:69, 73), and Surah Ash-Shu'ara (Q.26:46) caution against engaging in these practices, emphasizing reliance on Allah alone.
Cult worship, involving the veneration of beings other than Allah, is a clear contradiction to Tawhid. Surah Al-Isra (Q.17:23) and Surah An-Nisa (Q.4:48) emphasize monotheism and the worship of Allah alone, rejecting all forms of polytheism.
Furthermore, the introduction of innovations (Bid'ah) in religious practices poses a threat to the pure monotheistic belief of Tawhid. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) warned against Bid'ah in Hadith 5 and 28 of an-Nawawi, highlighting the importance of adhering to the established teachings without alteration.
By studying and internalizing these prohibitions and teachings, we aim to not only identify but also actively avoid practices that are incompatible with the Islamic principles of Tawhid. It is crucial to shun off such actions and demonstrate a firm belief in the Oneness of Allah in our daily lives, aligning our thoughts and deeds with the divine guidance provided in the Quran and Sunnah.
