CHAPTER No: 2 The superiority of Tauhid And what it removes of sins Allah the Most Exalted said: It is those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah and worship none but Him Alone) and confuse not their belief with Zulm (wrong i.e. by worshipping other besides Allah), for them (only) there is security and they are guided ones. (6:82) Narrated Ubadah bin As-Samit (May Allah be pleased with him), that Allahs Messenger (May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said: Whoever testifies that there is nothing worthy of worship in truth (no God) except Allah Alone, Who is without (peer or) partner, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger, and that Iesa (Jesus) is the slave of Allah, His Messenger, and His Word which He bestowed in Maryam (Mary) and a spirit (created) from Him, and that Paradise & Hell-fire are realities, Allah will admit him into Paradise, whatever his deeds might be. (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Hadith No. 3252) Itban (May Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said: Indeed Allah has forbidden for Hell the person who testifies: There is nothing worthy of worship in truth (no true God) but Allah, seeking thereby nothing but Allahs Face (pleasure). (Al-Bukhari, Muslim). Abu Said Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) narrated that Allahs Messenger (May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said: Musa (Moses) (May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said: O my Rabb, teach me something through which I can remember You and supplicate to You. Allah answered: Say, O Musa, La ilaha ilIa-Allah. Musa said: O my Rabb, all your slaves say these words. Allah said: O Musa, if the seven heavens and all they contain other than Me1 (Ghairy) and the seven earths as well, were all put in one side of a scale and La ilaha ilIa-Allah put in the other the latter would overweigh them. [This Hadith has been reported by Ibn Hibban, and Al-Hakim declared it Sahih]. 1 This phrase (Ghairy) is the exception from what is in the heavens. It should not be misunderstood that Allah is contained within the heavens or earth since He has described Himself in the Quran as the Transcendent, Most High, Above All, i.e. in 2:255, 20:5, 25:59 and many places elsewhere in His Book. Indeed the statement is another proof that Allah cannot be considered within the creation. [Detailed explanation can be seen in Fath-ul-Majid Sharh Kitab-ut-Tauhid -Translator].
