    Study Notes

    Lord and Creator

    • Allah is the Lord who has raised me and the whole worlds with His favor.
    • The evidence for this is in the Quranic verse: "All praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds." (Surat al-Fātihah: 2)

    Religion

    • The religion is Islam, which is about submitting to Allah through monotheism.
    • Islam involves yielding to Allah through obedience and dissociating oneself from Shirk (polytheism) and its people.
    • The evidence for this is in the Quranic verse: "The true religion with Allah is Islam..." (Surat Āl ‘Imrān: 19)

    Prophet

    • The prophet is Muhammad (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).
    • The evidence for this is in the Quranic verse: "Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah..." (Surat al-Fat-h: 29)

    Tawhīd (Monotheism)

    • The words of Tawhīd are "Lā ilāha illallāh", which means none is worthy of worship except Allah.
    • The evidence for this is in the Quranic verse: "Then know [O Prophet] that none has the right to be worshiped except Allah..." (Surat Muhammad: 19)
    • Tawhīd is the core of Islam, emphasizing the oneness of Allah.

    Allah's Location

    • Allah is above the Throne and above all creation.
    • This is mentioned in Surat Taha: 5, where Allah says, "The Most Compassionate rose over the Throne."
    • Allah is also described as the Vanquisher over His slaves, and He is the All-Wise, the All-Aware (Surat al-An‘ām: 18).

    The Meaning of the Testimony of Faith

    • The testimony that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah means that Allah sent him as a bringer of glad tidings and a warner.
    • It implies that one must:
      • Obey his commands
      • Believe his reports
      • Refrain from disobeying him
      • Worship Allah only in compliance with his Sharia, which requires following the Sunnah and abandoning religious innovations
    • This is supported by Surat an-Nisā’: 80, where Allah says, "Whoever obeys the Messenger has indeed obeyed Allah."
    • The Quran also states that Muhammad's words are a revelation sent down to him, and not his own desires (Surat an-Najm: 3-4).
    • Muhammad is an excellent example for those who look forward to Allah and the Last Day, and remember Allah much (Surat al-Ahzāb: 21).
