Tawheed-Sovereignty

Mohammad Bayazeed Khan Panni

It is indisputable that the Din-ul-Huq is founded on Tawheed. As there is no Islam without Tawheed, it is of the utmost importance. Unfortunately this Tawheed is now misunderstood by the populace known as Muslims - Tawheed is now understood as belief and faith in Oneness of Allah and worshipping Him. Though the words Tawheed and Wahdaniyat (Oneness, unity of Allah) both originates from the same root, they don’t mean the same thing. Wahdaniyat means Oneness of Allah and Tawheed means sovereignty and unconditional obedience to that one Allah and Allah only. The Mushriq, polytheist Arabs among whom the last Messenger of Allah was sent had believed in only one Allah but did not obey Him, they conducted their personal, social and collective lives by laws, rules and regulations made by themselves and overseen by the Qurayesh, the priests of the House of Allah, the Qaba. Their Faith in One Allah, one Creator was no less strong than that of the present populace that claims and believes themselves as Mo’men and Muslim though they worshiped idols. But since obedience to that Creator was absent among the then Arabs the faith was useless, and consequently their lives were full of injustices, unrest, turmoil, insecurity and blood shed, the Fasad and Safaqutdima[1] and hence the Messenger was sent to make them obedient to the Creator Allah which he did, and as inevitable result the society transformed into a society full of security, justice happiness and peace (Islam). Even to-day Christians, Jews and Hindus believe in One Creator, in spite of worshipping Trinity, son of God and idols. They believe in One Creator but do not obey Him, do not conduct their collective lives according to His orders and laws, so they are de-facto Moshreqs (Polytheists) and Kafers (disbelievers). Present day Muslims do not understand and realize that the pre-Islamic stone and wooden idols have transformed into Democracy, Socialism, Fascism, Monarchy etc. and they are obeying these instead of Allah. Each of these ‘cracies’ and ‘isms’ is a way, a system of life, a Din, as against Islam, Din ul Huq. The only difference between these and Islam is these manmade Dins cover only parts of human life, some with emphasis on political, some on economic, some on social aspects, but not the whole life while the Din-ul-Huque covers every aspect of human life from very personal to collective life even to the extend of whole mankind. Present day Muslims are obeying the dictates of these ‘craceis’ and ‘isms’ in their collective lives along with the Christians, Jews, Hindus and Buddhists, as the pre-Islamic Arabs obeyed their Qurayesh leaders representing the idols. Present day Muslims do not realise that Democracy has taken the place of the idol Hubal, Socialism place of Laat, Communism place of Manah, Nationalism place of Uzza, Dul kaffayan in place of Monarchy etc. and by doing so they have become as Moshreqs and Kafers as the Arabs among whom the last Messenger of Allah was sent to re-establish the Tawheed (sovereignty) and not Wahdanyat (unity, oneness) only which those Arabs already believed in. No, this so-called Muslim populace is worse Moshreq and Kafer than those Arabs because those Arabs did not believe any of their idols as their Allah, the Creator and Sustainer but they worshipped those believing that by worshipping those they will attain nearness (Qurbiyah) of Allah [As for those who choose other guardians besides Him, (saying): We worship them only because that they may bring us nearer to

Allah.’ (Qur’an, Sura Zumar-3)] and those idols will solicit to Allah for them [They worship besides that which can neither harm nor help them, they say: They will intercede with Allah.” (Qur’an Sura Yunus-18)] That means that the ultimate purpose of their idols worshipping was Allah Himself. But the present day idols do not have even that- there is no place of Allah in any cracies or isms, in fact these are completely oblivious to the existence of Allah. So the present day Shirk (Polytheism) and Kufr (Disbelief) practiced by the populace claiming to be Mo’men and Muslim is much worse than the Shirk (polytheism) and Kufr (Disbelief) of the Arabs among whom the last Messenger of Allah was sent. It is very important to fully understand how and why this present populace, which claims to be Mo’men, Muslim and Ummat-e-Mohammadi is not any of these and is de-facto Moshreq (Polytheist) and Kafer (disbeliever). I am fully aware of the gravity of calling the present one and a half billion people de-facto Moshreq and Kafer. But I would request my readers to react only after reading and thinking about the reasons I am putting forward for such opinion. Here I would only submit that if this populace is really Mo’men etc. then many Ayats (verses) of the Qur’an including the no. 55 of Sura Noor [Allah has promised those among you who believe and do righteous good deeds, that He will certainly grant them succession in the land as He granted it to those before them.] are rendered wrong, which, of course, is impossible and absurd
