Explanations from Mafuradat:Nature in Islamic traditions

In the previous discussion we discussed the positive aspects of the existence of God in various aspects and five good proofs were given and the natural path to the recognition of God was discussed. After discussing the real existence of belief we will now discuss the recognition of God and the foremost issue will be the Oneness of Tawhid of God. In one sense this discussion is the fountainhead of all attributes of God. In another sense, this issue is the base of all divine religion and the center of Qura’n. Most of the discussion of Qura’n is about the Oneness of God and some thinkers have opined that Qura’n has not discussed the actual existence of God but all its discussions on the oneness of God. We consider this statement to be out of context.

All the Islamic beliefs, commandments and laws collectively and individually as well as social and external problems revert to this Oneness. This is the reason that Qura’n gives a great importance to the issue of Oneness and polytheism and it is the most attentive to it. It can be said that no topic has been given the importance given to the issue of Oneness of God in the Qura’n. Not just the Last Messenger but all the apostles of God were busy enjoining the people to this Oneness of God and in defending against polytheism.

After this introduction we now highlight the importance of sins and polytheism in the Qura’n and then place some proofs that are connected with the certification of Oneness of God and the rejection of polytheism.

We begin by attending to the following verses.

1. Surah Nisaa Verse 48:

Verily God does not forgive that anything is associated with Him, but He forgives what is besides that to whomever he pleases, and whoever associates anything with God has committed a great sin

2. Surah Nisaa Verse 116:

Verily God does not forgive that (anything) be associated with Him, but He forgives anything besides this to whoever He pleases, and whoever associates any with God has indeed strayed far, far away (from the right path).

Surah Zumar verse 65:

Indeed it has been revealed to you and to those before you, “Verily if you associate others with God, your deeds would come to naught, and you would certainly be among the losers.

Surah Luqman Verse 13:

Luqman, exhorting his son said, “O son! Do not associate aught with God, for verily associating aught with God is a great inequity.

Surah Hajj Verse 31:

Being upright for God, not associating anyone with Him; whoever associates any with God, it is as though he has fallen from the heavens and birds snatched him away, or the wind wafted him to a different place.

Surah Anam Verse 151:

Say: Come I will recite what your Lord has prohibited for you: Do not join anything in worship with Him.

Surah Maida Verse 72:

Verily whoever sets partners in worship with God, and then God has forbidden Paradise for him. And the fire will be his abode. There are no protectors for the unjust.

Surah Taubah Verse 28:

O you who believe! Verily the polytheists are impure so do not let them come near the Holy mosque after this year.

Surah Taubah Verse 3:

A declaration from God and His Messenger to mankind on the greatest day, “God is free from (all) obligations to the polytheists and so is His Messenger.

Surah Nur Verse 3:

The adulterer marries not but an adulteress or a polytheist and the adulteress marries none but an adulterer or polytheist.

Surah Raad Verse 36:

Say: I am commanded to worship only God and not to join partners with Him. To Him I call and to Him is my return.

Surah HUD Verses 25 and 26:

Indeed We sent Noah to his people (saying) “I am a clear Warner for you, that you shall not worship (anyone) but God; verily I fear for you the chastisement of a painful Day. (1)

Surah Anbiya Verse 108:

Say: it has been revealed to me that your God is One God, will you then submit (to Him)?

Surah Mumtahena Verse 4:

Indeed, there is for you a good pattern of Abraham and those with him. They said to their people: “Verily we disassociate ourselves from you and what you worship other than God. We renounce you, and enmity and hatred have prevailed between us forever until you believe in God alone”





1. This issue has come in other verses of the Qura’n also like Hud2, Isra 23, Yasin 7, Fussilat 14, and other verses with different language but connected to ?Tawhid and criticize polytheism in all sense. If they are collected together then will take the shape of a large book . The above mentioned verses are just a few important examples.
