Lā ilāha illallāh, Muhammad-ur-Rasūl-Allāh
"None has the right to be worshipped but Allāh Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala, and Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam is the
Messenger of Allāh Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala." has three aspects:
a, b and c.
A.
It is that, you have to pledge a covenant
with (Allāh Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala). the Creator of the heavens
and earth, The Ruler of all that exists, the Lord of Majesty and
Highness, on four points (or conditions):
Point I:
A confession with your heart that
the Creator (of everything) is Allāh Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala; it
is that you have to say: "I testify that the Creator of all the
universe including the stars, the planets, the sun, the moon, the
heavens, the earth with all it known and unknown forms of life, is
Allāh Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. He is the Organizer and Planner of
all its affairs. It is He Who gives life and death, and Allāh
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala alone is the Sustainer, and the Giver of
security." And this is called (your confession for the) "Oneness of
the Lordship of Allāh Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,". (Tauhīd
ar-Rubūbiyyah)
Point II:
A confession with your heart that:
"I testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala alone." The word "Worship" (i.e. 'Ibādah)
carries a great number of meanings in the Islāmic terminology: it
conveys that all kinds of worship are meant for Allāh Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala Alone and none else, whether it be an Angel
Alahi Wa
Salam. Messenger
Alahi Wa
Salam, Prophet Îsā Alahi Wa Salam the son of
Maryam, Uzair Alahi Wa Salam, Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi
Wa Sallam, saint, idol, the sun, the moon and all kinds of false
deities. So pray to none but Allāh Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
invoke none but Allāh Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, ask for help from
none (Unseen) but Allāh Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, swear by none
but Allāh Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, offer an animal as sacrifice
to none but Allāh Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, ... ect, and that
means, all that Allāh Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and His Messenger
Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam order you to do, (in the
Qur'ān Al Kareem and in the Sunnah (legal ways of Prophet Muhammad
Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) you must do, and that Allāh
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and His Messenger Muhammad Sallallahu
Alaihi Wa Sallam forbid you, you must not do. And this is called
(your confession for the) "Tauhīd (Oneness) of the worship of Allāh
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala," (Tauhīd-al-Ulūhiyyah). And
that you (mankind) worship none but Allāh Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Point III:
A confession with your heart that:
"O Allāh Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala! I testify that all the best of
names and the most perfect qualities with which You have named or
qualified Yourself in Your Book (i.e. the Qur'ān Al Kareem)
or as Your Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam has
named or qualified You with his statement, I believe that all those
(names and qualities) are for You without changing their meanings or
neglecting them completely or liking them (giving resemblance) to
others." As Allāh Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says:
