Session 2: Categories of Tawheed

Key Takeaways:

1. Tawheed ar-Rububiyyah (Oneness in Lordship):
   • Allah alone creates, sustains, and governs the universe.
   • Evidence: Surah Al-Furqan (25:2) highlights Allah’s unique control over all things.
2. Tawheed al-Uluhiyyah (Oneness in Worship):
   • Worship is exclusively for Allah; associating others with Him invalidates faith.
   • Evidence: Surah Al-Ankabut (29:65) rejects calling on others besides Allah.
3. Tawheed al-Asma wa-Sifaat (Oneness in Names and Attributes):
   • Allah’s names and attributes are unique, without comparison or distortion.
   • Evidence: Surah Al-Ikhlas affirms Allah’s incomparability.

Reflection: Understanding these categories is essential for protecting one’s faith from shirk and innovation.
