Praise to be Allah. I Thank Him, seek His Help and Forgiveness. I seek refuge in Allah from the evil of my bad deeds and myself. Whomsoever Allah guides, is truly guided, and whomsoever Allah leaves to stray, none can guide him. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is the Seal of His Prophets.

Islamic monotheism is the most significant branch of knowledge to be studied. It is very important to a Muslim's life. For the sake of this knowledge man was created:
and I {Allah} created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me(Alone).(Adh-Dhariyat, 56) Through this knowledge man can get out of darkness to brightness of light, and can be rightly guided to the Straight Path. Through this branch of knowledge, man knoe his Lord, His Creator, and knows that none has the right to be worship but Him. Through this branch of knowledge one knows the conditions and real meaning of the statement: "There is no Ilah (god) but Allah".

All prise is due to Allah and much peace and many blessings be upon the Messanger of Allah, his family, his companions, his follower and those who dissemenat his call until the day of Judgment.

Q1 : What is the First (religious) obligation on worshippers ?

A : The first religious obligation on worshippers is to realize the purpose for which Allah the Almighty created them; and for which He took their convenant and sent them His Messangers and Books; and for which he created this present life, the Hereafter, Paradise and Hell-Fire; and for which the Inevitable would come true; and the Event would befall; and for which the balance is set and the Records fly; and for which there would be either happiness or misery; and according to which the lights would be devided, for any to whom Allah gives not light, the will be no light him!


Q2 : What is that thing for which Allah innovated the Creation?

A : Allah the Almighty says: {And We created not the heavens and
the earth, and all that is between them, for mere play. We created
them not except with truth (i.e. to examine and test those who
are obedient and those who are disobedient and then reward the
obedient ones and punish the disobedient ones), but most of them
know not}. (Ad-Dukhan, 38-39)

He says also: {And We created not the heaven and the earth and
all that is between them without purpose! That is the
consideration of those who disbelieve!}. (Sad. 27)

He says also: {And Allah has created the heavens and the earth
with truth, in order that each person may be recompensed what
he has earned, and they will not be wronged}.(Al-Jathiyah, 22)

He says also: {And I (Allah) created not the jinn and mankind
except that they should worship Me (Alone). I seek not any
provision from them (i.e. provision for themselves or for My
creatures) nor do I ask that they should feed Me (i.e. feed themselves or My creatures). Verily, Allah is the All-Provider, owner of Power, the Most Strong}. (Ad-Dhariyat, 56-58).

Q3 : What does the word `Abd (worshipper) mean?

A : The word Abd means the subdued or subjugated. This meaning
encompasses all sorts of creation: higher and lower, rational and
reasonless, animate and inanimate, dynamic and static, apparent and
hidden, believing and disbelieving, and pious and dissolute, etc.; all of
which are created by Allah he Almighty. They are subjected to Him, and
managed by Him Alone. Moreover, all of them have a limit and
destination and each one runs (its course) or an appointed term. Such is
the judgment and ordering of (Him), the Exalted in Power, the
Omniscient. And if the intended sense is the modest God-loving
worshiper), in this case it refers only to the believing men and women
who are Allah's honorable slaves and pious godly ones; on them shall be
no fear, nor shall they grieve.
