SHAHADA (The Declaration of Faith) – Part -1 Oneness of Allah

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم


Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem "In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful”


السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ


As salaam alaykum ramatullahi wa barakthu "May the peace of Allah be upon you, and His mercy and blessings"


Dear friends, 

Today I would like to introduce you about the first part of Shahadath Kalima. That is oneness of Allah. It is also called as Tawheed. The Arabic phrase, shahadtha kalima, is a simple statement; sincerely believing in the meanings of it and the faith behind it can change one's life forever.

It consists of two parts: first half is tawheed the unity and oneness of Allah. This fundamental concept of Islam is expressed by Allah himself in His book Qur'an: "He, Allah is one. Allah is He on Whom all depend. He begets not, nor is He begotten, And none is like Him."
The second part of kalima is risalah: the acceptance of Prophethood. Muslims accept that all Prophets were chosen by Allah to lead people in the right way, the basic message of His oneness to all nations and society, in their own languages, at different times. Adam was the first Prophet and Muhammed the final of all messengers to mankind. There were so many prophets were came for different community and different time but Muhammed is not for particular society or time. He is special and entrusted to all community & world till the dooms day

ONENESS OF GOD
Muslims believe in one God, Allah. None has the right to be worshiped but Allah; there is no partner unto Him. He has power over everything. Islam is based on this concept which Allah has expressed in The Qur'an.
Before Nuh Nabi (AS), there was no shirk and prophets were mainly sent to teach and give warning for their life style. They were wrong in the sense of doing sin and uncontrolled life method. But at the time of Nuh (AS), people were started to do worship to some great personalities of that time. They created the idol of those persons and they considered these idols represent those great personalities which can help them. They considered these idols are partners of Allah and it can bring goodness and badness to them. So Nuh (AS) gave them clear direction and warning to throw these idols and worship Allah only. Few of them believed him and others vanished by big flood which was the calamity from Allah on them. From Nuh(AS) era onwards shirk (worshiping others ) has started.
After that society, some kings also proclaimed that they are the representative of GOD or themselves as GOD like Farova at the time of Moosa (AS). But Allah gave right answer to them through Moosa (AS). Still Farova’s dead body has kept as the warning for all human being till doomsday.
Some society believed that Allah has kids like Christian believes, Isa (AS) is the son of Allah,the angels are the daughters of GOD or Uzar is the son of Allah like that. But Allah gave very clear answer to them by Surathul Ikhlas as  : "He, Allah is one. Allah is He on Whom all depend. He begets not, nor is He begotten, And none is like Him."
Allah is one:- He is the one and no partners or kids for HIM
Allah is He on Whom all depend:- Allah depends to none. But all others are depends to Him. He is the source of power and ability. Others are enjoying these ability as a blessings from Him. As other religion believes trinity of GOD and dependency of GOD is wrong. Our God Allah is independent to all.
He begets not, nor is He begotten: - He has no children and he is beyond the imagination of man. It is human thought that the god has organs like human and we human have a tendency to preview all according to our own wish. But Allah is not like anything which he has created.  
None is like Him: - He is the creator and we are created by him. It is a deficiency that the creator and created has same shape, dependency and ability. So Allah is free from all defects and he is the only one Perfect. None of created is same like him and He is not like any created one also.
He is Allah, besides whom there is no other God, the All-Knower of the unseen and the seen. Allah is the Most Benficent, the Most Merciful. He is Allah, the King, the Holy, the One, Free from all defects, the Giver of security, the Guardian, the All-Mighty, the Compeller, the Supreme. Exalted be Allah from all that they associate as partner with Him. He is Allah, the Creator, the Originator of all things, the Bestower of forms. His are the most Gracious Names. All that is in the heavens and the earth glorify Him. And He is the All-Mighty and the Wise One. 
Blessed be He in Whose hand is the sovereignty, and He has power over all things. Who has created life and death, that He may test you which of you is best in conduct; and He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving. 
There is no god but He. It is He Who gives life and causes death, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers. No, but they (unbelievers) divert themselves with doubts. 

Allah; there is no god but Allah, the Ever Living, the Eternal One. Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. He is the Most Exalted, the Most Great. 

To Him belongs all what is in the heavens and the earth. And those (angels) who are near Him do not disdain to worship Him, nor they ever weary of His service. They glorify Him night and day, tirelessly never intermit. Have they (people) chosen earthly gods who (they think) can restore the dead (to life)? If there had been either in the heavens or the earth other gods than Allah, both (heaven and earth) would have been ruined. So glorified be Allah, the Lord of the Throne, far above what they attribute to Him. He cannot be questioned as to what He does, but they shall be questioned.

Have they chosen other gods besides Him? Say: “Bring forth your proof. This is the Message (the Quran) of those with me, and the Message (the previous Scriptures) of those before me.” But, most of them do not know the truth, and so they turn away. And We did not send any Messenger before you without inspiration to him: “There is no god but I; so worship Me (alone).” And yet they say, “The Compassionate God has begotten offspring.” Exalted is He! No, those (whom they so designate) are only His honoured servants. They do not speak before He speaks, and they only perform His commands. He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they cannot intercede for none, except for those whom He approves, and they tremble in awe of Him. And if any of them declares: “I am a god beside Him,” We shall requite such a one with Hell. Thus do We requite the wrongdoers.

I hope you could understand the message furnished above and Insha Allah we can discuss the the Prophet hood of Muhammed (SAW) later. Please pray for me.
