Ash-Shaikh Zaid Muhammad Al-Madkhalee

 (حفظه اللّه)

Q:  What is Tawheed, how may types are there, and what is the reward for the one who realizes (and actualizes) it in this life and the next?

 A:  Tawheed is singling out Allâh in worship and  the freeing of Allâh from shirk, major and minor, meager and abundant, and being free from it and it’s people as He said, glory be to Him the Most High:

(قُلْ إِنَّ صَلاَتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَبِذَلِكَ أُمِرْتُ وَأَنَاْ أَوَّلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ) “Say (O Muhammad ): ‘Verily, my Salât (prayer), my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allâh, the Lord of the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
