Three Types/Categrisation of TAWHEED and Tableeghi Jamaat
Some ......................group make an accusation/ Spread a Rumour that tablighi jamaat does not tells about Tawhid Al-Uluhiyyah (The unity of God the oneness of His Godhead, that Allah alone is to be worshiped),
CATEGORISATION OF TAWHEED???????
NOTE : It is important to be clarified that these term of classification is not from Quran and Hadith.Although meaning is fully established from Quran and Hadith.Categorisation has been done by Scholars. And there is no controversy in the use of these term. It has been done only for understanding purpose One must not get confused about there being three categories, essentially all categories fall within the term of Tawheed.
Rather all the categories are all connected to Allah.And simple word Tawheed also encompass all these. So understanding of meaning and responsibilities is important rather than the term.So if someone doesnot Uses these classification/ categorization of Tawheed and terms their is no Harm in it, Although these term make the understanding better. Imam Tahawi one of the Imam of Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat in Aqeedah has not used any classification at all.
Ibne Abi Al Izz in His Sharah Aqeedatut Tahawihas classified into two
1. Tawheed al-ilahiyyah, or the belief in the unity of God the oneness of His Godhead, that Allah alone is to be worshiped, and no one else is to be worshiped.and matters concerning to attributes of Allah .
2. Tawheedar-rububiyyah (the oneness of His Lordship), which states thatAllah alone create everything; and hold everything.
Some Other cholars has divided into three categories.
Some Other cholars has divided into three categories.
1. Tawheed ul-Uluhiyyah/Ibaadah (Tawheed of Worship)
Tawheed of Lordship means that you believe that there is only one God, namely Allah, and that there are no other gods or goddesses. It also means that all power, creation, and such things belong to Allah alone, for instance Allah alone is the creator of everything we see around us, and it is he who is in full control of them, and it is he who controls life and death and all such matters, and not anyone including our money/Position/ materialistic resources/worldpowers or any human or devine help other than Allah else.
2. Tawheed al-Rubbubiyyah (Tawheed of Lordship)
Tawheed of Worship means that all acts of worship belong to Allah alone, and no one else, all acts of worship are purely and sincerely for Allah, not for idols, not for any Prophet, not for the universe, not for anything except the one Allah.
3. Tawheed al-Asmaat wa-Sifaat (Tawheed of Allah's names and Attributes).
Tawheed al-Asmaat wa-Sifaat is the Tawheed of Allah's unique and exclusive Names and Attributes, this means a Muslim affirms a Name of Allah, and affirms that this Name is unique and exclusive to Allah alone, not for anyone else, and not for anyone else to be named with.
For example one of Allah's names is the All Knowing, this Name is unique for him alone because Allah is the only one who is All Knowing, and perfect in his knowledge, there is no created being who has such an attribute. The same applies to all of Allah's names, they are unique for him alone, and not for others.
DISCUSSION ON Rumour of neglect of Tawheed Al-Uluhiyyah ............
It is true that Tabligh Jamaat do not use these term of Rububiyyah,Al-Uluhiyyah and Asma o Sifat and the classification of three types of tawheed
1. But Tablighi Jamaat tells Tawheed in most emphatic term
2. Includes all three types and
3. They tell everything about tauheed.
They always talk referring about
the power of Allah and
that only Allah has to be prayed and worshiped,
He is unique in his quality.
He is seeing everything.He is free from any help.
All are his creation No one is like him.
Help and benefit only Allah can give.
...............................So they donot use the term Rububiyyah,Al-Uluhiyyah and Asma o Sifat and the classification of three types of tawheed

...............................So they donot use the term Rububiyyah,Al-Uluhiyyah and Asma o Sifat and the classification of three types of tawheed
but they mention everything about it.
Fazilatus Sheikh Yusuf Malahi the Saudi Arab Scholar while replying to doubts of Salafi Brothers on Tablighi Jamaat has also clarified this.....
This division of Tawheed into three is not from
The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم or from Sahba .. .....These teminologies are from scholars for understanding purpose.......Some Scholars has divided into two some as Three
So saying that if someone is not using these
term that means his tauheed is weak is not
CORRECT and acceptable.
In Tabligh there are People of different
caliber............as it is a mass movement
Ranging from Mufti and Alim scholars like Mufti Mahmoodul Hasan and Maulana Yusuf kandhalvi but also simple people who even learn Attahiyat and four Surah and start from Tajweed and kalima or may be learning reading Quran.
So depending on this their level of knowledge scholary talk and refrence to quranic ayats and ahadith will certainly differ.
And this is normal in sahaba also some were very big Alim like Hazrat Abukar,Umar,Ali ,abdullah ibne massod,abdullah ibne abbas and others RAZIALLAH ANHUMA AJMAEEN but
MOST OTHER sahaba were ordinary muslim not Master of knowledge.
Terminologies role is there but the faith and Emaan should be strong and correct that is foremost.

PRACTICAL EXAMPLE in India Pakistan and Bangladesh///////////////
More to emphasise that we see in India and pakistan that where tableegh work is strong grave worship is weak.
Where Tabligh work is weak Grave worship and bidats are strong. I have seen it not only in cities but even among families and friends families.

This gives live and practical example that tablighi Jamaat is for tauheed correct Aqeeda and Strong Emaan.
All are requested to co operate.We should be kind for our muslim fellows.(Allah knows the best).
