No Tawheed = No Value in Worship
Shaykh ʿUbayd bin ʿAbdillāh al-Jābirī رحمه الله said:
“Tawḥīd is the foundation of the religion and its basis, so without Tawḥīd there is no weight for any act of worship.”
Iṭḥāf al-ʿUqūl bi Sharḥ Thalāthah al-Uṣūl, p. 104
You can pray 1000 rakʿahs…
You can give gold in charity…
You can fast every other day…
But if your Tawḥīd is corrupt — it all crashes to the ground.
There is no Islam without Tawḥīd.
There is no salvation without Tawḥīd.
There is no Paradise without Tawḥīd.
The Mushrikūn of Quraysh did good deeds.
They gave to the poor.
They honored guests.
But they associated others with Allāh — and none of it counted.
Worship built on anything but Tawḥīd is like a palace built on sand.
This is why our scholars — from Ibn Taymiyyah to Ibn Bāz to Shaykh al-Jābirī — always began with the call to pure Tawḥīd.
Not unity.
Not social activism.
Not emotion.
But Lā ilāha illa Allāh — with understanding, love, and sincerity.
You want your actions to matter?
Root them in Tawḥīd. Strengthen your foundation.
May Allāh make our actions sincerely for Him, and grant us a sound heart upon pure Tawḥīd.
