Linguistically, the word Tawheed, in Arabic, means unification (to make something one). Islamically, it is in reference to Allaah being singled out alone, in all that is particular to Him. The opposite of Tawheed is 'Shirk' which is to associate partners with Allaah by giving (or attributing) that which is exclusively His to others.
Traditionally, Tawheed has been divided into three categories which help us to understand why Allaah alone deserves to be singled out for worship. The division of Tawheed into these three categories is something which was not done by Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) or any of his companions (R.A). So, is this Bid'ah (i.e., something new that has been introduced into the religion)? The answer to this is no, because we find that the basis of these three categories are to be found in the verses of the Quran, Hadeeth [authenticated Prophetic reports] of the Prophet (S.A.W) and the statements of his companions.
The necessity for dividing up Tawheed into three categories first came about during the early days of Islam. After the death of the Prophet (S.A.W) Islam spread like wildfire and before long the empires of Africa,Byzantium, Persia and India all fell under Muslim rule. Many people from these areas became Muslims. However some of these converts to Islam also carried with them some of their old pagan beliefs. This caused much confusion amongst people, and the simple belief of Islam which the people had accepted started to become clouded. The task of opposing these new thoughts and ideas which were becoming prevalent, fell upon the shoulders of the Muslim scholars, who rose to meet this challenge intellectually. Amongst the first people to divide Tawheed into three categories was the famous scholar of Iraq, Abu Haneefah .
Before mentioning what these three categories are, it has to be stressed that the concept of Tawheed is in no way similar to the Christian concept of trinity. The division of Tawheed does not divide Allaah up into three separate parts (as does trinity), but rather it helps us to understand as to how our Creator is Unique and Alone in being singled out for worship and reverence. The three categories of Tawheed are:
1- The Unity of Allaah's Lordship
This first category of Tawheed is known as Tawheed-Ar Ruboobiyyah or the unity of Allaah's Lordship. Through this we understand that it is Allaah Who Alone created the universe, which is why one of His divine names is Al-Khaaliq (the Creator). Through this we know that it is Allaah Alone Who controls the universe and allows things to happen. This is why Allaah refers to Himself in the Quran as Al-Malik (The Sovereign). Hence, when something happens, it only happens with the permission of Allaah, as stated in the Quranic verse (which means):
"And no calamity strikes except with the permission of Allaah" [Quran 64:11]
The Prophet (S.A.W) further elaborated on this concept of Allaah's control over the universe by saying: "Be aware that if the whole of mankind gathered together in order to do something to help you they would only be able to do something for you which Allaah had already written for you. Likewise, if the whole of mankind gathered together to harm you, they would only be able to do something to harm you which Allaah had already written to happen to you". [At-Tirmithi]
We know that another name, which Allaah chooses to call Himself by, is Ar-Razzaaq (the Sustainer). It is Allaah who provides us with our food, shelter, clothing, families and friends. When our crops seem to be dying and there is not a cloud in sight, it is Allaah Who sends down His rain from the skies and sustains us. Allaah Says (what means):
"Allaah is the Creator of all things and He is, over all things, Disposer of affairs." [Quran 39:62]
From this you would expect that people would turn back to Allaah for good or bad fortune. However, this is not the case. Today we find some people relying on all kinds of good luck charms, which they believe will bring them good fortune and ward off evil.
These practices have absolutely no basis whatsoever in Islam, but rather the Prophet warned us by saying: "Whosoever brings something new into Islam (which does not belong to it) will have it rejected". [Al-Bukhaari]
2- The Unity of Allaah's names and Attributes
This category of Tawheed is known as Tawheed Al-Asmaa' Was-Siffaat or the unity of Allaah's Names and Attributes. Allaah Says in the Quran (what means):
"Allaah — there is no deity except Him. To Him belong the best names."[Quran 20:8]
This category of Tawheed helps us to understand Who our Creator is through His Names and Attributes. Through His Names and Attributes we know that Allaah is far beyond our imagination and bears no resemblance to human beings. In fact, it is this principle which makes Islam unique from all the other religions on the face of this earth. Allaah Says (what means):
"There is nothing like unto Him and He is the Hearing, the Seeing."[Quran 42:11]
3- The Unity of Allaah's Worship
This part of Tawheed is known as Tawheed Al-'Ibaadah, or the unity of Allaah's worship. It is this aspect of Tawheed which is the most important. It is through this that we learn how to worship our Creator alone. Allaah is not the kind of god who does not respond or hear your calls. He is not the kind of god who needs some sort of middleman to take our prayers up to Him. Rather, Allaah says (what means):
"And your Lord says, Call upon Me; I will respond to you.” [Quran 40:60]
There is nothing to prevent a person from calling directly upon Allaah and asking for His help and forgiveness. Unfortunately, this is violated by most of mankind who believe that other men can intercede for them and even grant them forgiveness because of their apparent special status! An example of this is the Catholic religion which holds that the celibate priests are purer than normal people. This allows for them to then hear the confessions of people's sins and subsequently grant them forgiveness. It is this kind of behaviour which takes a person away from the worship of Allaah to the worship of man.
As Muslims, we too should be careful of this, because it seems that many of our brothers and sisters are indulging in this kind of evil and are not even aware of it. How many Muslims are there today who call upon others besides Allaah? We find that in some countries, there are millions of Muslims who go to the graves of 'saints' and ask them for children, wealth, fame and more sadly, forgiveness. What makes this more ironic is the fact that many of these Muslims pray five times a day, and in every Rak'ah (unit) of their prayer they say the following to their Creator:
"It is You we worship and You we ask for help." [Quran 1:4]
Learning about the Tawheed of Allaah is the most important thing for the whole of humanity. For if we learn how to trust and worship our Creator with sincerity, then -and only then- will we escape from the slavery and captivity of this life. It is by worshipping Allaah alone does a man achieve true peace and success.

Allah’s relationship with His Messengers​
Question: From the Quranic passages you have studied about relationship between Allah and His Messengers? [10]
Answer: According to the Quranic passages we have studied about Allah and his Messengers we came to understand and belief that all the apostles and prophets sent by Allah were men, had wives and children and were mortal. According to a tradition of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W), their number is said to be 124,000. They are Allah’s vicegerents on earth they don’t do Shirk. They have been granted special favors, miracles and great knowledge by Allah as Allah says: “We did indeed send before you Messengers to their (respective) people, and they came to them with clear signs.” (30:47). they must follow His instructions and their focus is towards Allah only. The Quran says that Allah sent a Warner and guide to every nation. Number of surah gives narrations of His selected Messengers and many surahs are named after the messengers like They include Nuh (71), Ibrahim (14), Hud (11), Yusuf (12), Younus (10) and Muhammad (47)..
They are very intelligent they recognize Allah very well through His Signs like in surah Anam’s verses 75 to 79 Abraham was gradually guided to identify the real Creator and Lord by way of His creations such as the sun the moon and the stars.
In Surah Baqara verse 30 to 37 was about the beginning of the line is Hazrat Adam, who was also the first human being. Allah bestowed prophet hood on him and gave him guidance for himself and his descendants. We sent Noah to his People (with the Command): “Do warn your people before there come to them a grievous Penalty” (Quran). There is also a description of special Prophetic sign granted to them like Musa, Isa and others.

About Hazrat Musa the Quran states: “Move your hand into your bosom, and it will come forth white without stain.” (Surah al-Qasas) About Jesus the Quran says: “……….And behold! You make out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by my leave, and you breathe into it and it becomes a bird by my leave, and you heal those born blind, and the lepers, by my leave” (Surah Al-Maida). Most importantly, the Quran declares the finality of the Holy Prophet by terming him as the “seal of Prophets” in this verse: “Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but (he is) the Messenger of Allah, and the Seal of the Prophets: and Allah has full knowledge of all things” (Ahzab: 40)

Question: Write the characteristics of Makki and Madni Surahs? [4]
Answer:
· Upon analysis of the Holy Quran commentates have described certain attributes of various Surahs through which one can tell at a glance whether a particular Surah is Makki or Madni. Some of these are rigid rule while other holds valid most of the time.
· Every such Surah in which the word ‘Kalla’- Certainly not! In it is a Makkan Surah. This word has been 33 times in 15 Surah and all such occur in the second half of Quran.
· Every such Surah containing verses of prostration is a Makkan Surah.
· Every Surah with the exception of Surah Baqra which relates Adam with Satan is a Makkan Surah.
· Every Surah in which a permission of Jihad and its rules and injunctions are given is Madni Surah.
· Every Surah is Madni where there is a mention of Hypocrites. The following characteristics are frequent and general but do not hold all the time.
· In Makkan Surahs people are generally addressed as “Ya ayyuhan-nas”-O mankind where as in Madni Surah the address is “Ya ayyuhal-ladhina-amanu”.
· Makki Surahs are generally short, powerful and the tone is very harsh. While Madni verses are long and detailed with bit softness in tone.
· Makkan Surahs generally deal with the oneness of Allah, Prophet Hood, and the Hereafter, the depiction of hereafter, words of comfort for Holy Prophet (S.A.W), and events of previous nations. There are very few injunctions and rules to be found in Madni Surahs that deals with social and family laws, injunctions related to war, punishment and other duties of life.
· Makkan Surahs speaks of confrontation with idolaters while Madni Surahs deal with the people of the book and the hypocrites among the Muslims.

· The style of the Makkan Surah is more allegiant. They contain more similes, metaphors, allegories, parables, semi colon and a large vocabulary is used. The Madni Surahs have a comparatively simply and straight forward style.

Question: Write brief account on the two following incident of the life of Holy Prophet (S.A.W)
1) His attempt to preach the people of Taif
2) Conquest of Makkah
1) Is attempt to preach the people of Taif
Answer:
1) His attempt to preach the people of Taif
Muhammad (S.A.W) his wife Hazrat Bibi Khadija (R.A) and his uncle Abu Talib died in the year of ‘grief’. The persecution and opposition of the Quraish became intensified as there is no protection left for the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) and after the death of Abu Talib Abu Lahb became the leader of Quraish.
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) then looked for a place where He might have been accepted as the Messenger of God and people might be able to accept message of God. The nearest place was 60miles from Makah which is called Taif it was When the social boycott which was implemented by the Quraish on Banu Hashim was lifted the two dearest people in the life of Prophet ruled by Banu Taqif. So Holy Prophet (S.A.W) walked all the way to Taif. The three chieftains of Banu Taqif were ruling Taif and they met the Holy Prophet (S.A.W). The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) preached them the message of Allah, the three chiefs of Banu Taqif laughed and rejected the message of Holy Prophet (S.A.W) further more they sent the mean elements like teenage boys, small kids, and womens they all pelted stones at the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) the pelting of the stones was so intense that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) “bled from head to toe “and the sandals of Holy Prophet (S.A.W) socked in his own blood. The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) left Taif unconsciously without knowing where He is going because of the torture done to him by the people of the Taif. He came to a place called Qarn Sa'alib. And set under a tree with all these injuries and the blood still fllowing the Prophet (S.A.W) prayed “O ALLAH if you are not angry with me then I don’t care about these people……..”(Sahih Bukhari)(Seerah Ibne-Hisham). At this time Hazrat Jibrael (A.S) came along with the Angel of Mountain. Hazrat Jibrael (A.S) asked Holy Prophet (S.A.W) that Allah has given you the authority of whatever you wanted to do with the people of Taif you can do it.
The Angel of Mountains who was with Gibril (A.S) asked Holy Prophet (S.A.W) if thy wish is command me and I will crushed the people of Taif between the two mountains. Holy Prophet (S.A.W) bleeding, tired and in such a pain that we can’t even imagine. Holy Prophet (S.A.W) said that “O Jibrael let them go “I am sent as a blessing to this world” let them go may be someday they will be Muslims. Once Hazrat Bibi Ayesha (R.A) asked the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) “O Prophet of ALLAH was there any day difficult then the day of Uhad? The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) replied “yes, the day of Taif was more difficult than the day of Uhad.
2) Conquest of Mecca
In 630 A.D, 8th year of Hijra the Quraish broke the treaty of Hudaibiya (6th year of Hijra) when Banu Bakr ally of Quraish attacked and killed few men of Banu Khuza the allies of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W). One man of Banu Khuza who was injured very badly escaped and went to the holy Prophet (S.A.W) and informed him about the incident at Nakhla. The holy Prophet (S.A.W) sent three alternatives to the Quraish:
1: to pay blood money of the killed men of Banu Khuza.
2: to dissolve the alliance with Banu Bakr.
3: to dissolve the treaty of Hudaibiya.
The Quraish accepted the third alternative which is to dissolve the treaty of Hudaibiya but soon realized that they were no match for the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) so they sent Abu Sufyan to Madina to resolve the situation. Abu Sufyan came to Madina and he was taken to Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W). Abu Sufyan said to the Prophet (S.A.W) to renew the treaty of Hudaibiya but the holy Prophet (S.A.W) refused and said to Abu Sufyan to go back to Makkah. Abu Sufyan came back to Makkah and informed his people that Prophet (S.A.W) is coming to take Makkah.
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) set out from Medinah on the tenth of Ramazan with an army of Ten Thousand strong men.The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) reached the valley of Marr-az-Zahraan near Makkah and camped for the night, The HolyProphet (S.A.W) ordered that every soldier must lit up the fire when the night fell. The guards of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) captured Abu Sufyan and two other men with him and they brought them to Holy Prophet (S.A.W). Abu Sufyan and the two other men accepted Islam and the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) said to Abu Sufyan that “those who will take refuge in his house will be safe, those who will not resist will be safe and the holy Prophet (S.A.W) granted peace and protection to those who will be in the Kaabaa.”
In the morning Holy Prophet (S.A.W) divided his army into 4 flanks, one was under the leadership of Zubair bin al-Awam (R.A) second was under the command of the sword of Allah Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed (R.A) third wing was under Hazrat Abu Ubaidah bin Jahra (R.A) and the major column was under the leader ship of Holy Prophet (S.A.W) Hazrat Ali (R.A) holding the banner of Islam. It is recorded, when entering his beloved city; Prophet (S.A.W)’s head was so low while riding his mount; that his beard was touching the back of his mount in complete humbleness and humility in praise and respectfulness of his Creator, to thank Him for this peaceful victory. And he recited a verse from the holy Qur’an, “Indeed, We have given you, [O Muhammad], a clear conquest that Allah may forgive………”[48:1-4]
The only resistance was when Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed (R.A) entered Makkah, Ikrama bin Abu Jahl along with few unbelievers attacked Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed (R.A)’s flank, twelve of the non believers were killed and two mujahedeen were martyred. Ikrama bin Abu Jahl and the resisting unbelievers were captured and taken to Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W).
The holy Prophet (S.A.W) circumcised seven times around the holy Kaabah after that he went inside the Kaabah; there were images of the false gods. The holy Prophet (S.A.W) holding a staf in his hand destroyed all the 360 idols, while doing so the holy Prophet (S.A.W) was reciting “and say: Truth has (now) arrived, Falsehood perished: for falsehood is (by its nature) bound to perish.” (17:81) after that the holy Prophet (S.A.W) said: “O Quraish! What do you think I am going to do with you?” they said, “good, for you are a noble brother, son of a noble brother”. The messenger of Allah (S.A.W) said “today I say to you what my brother Yusuf (A.S) said before me: ‘he said : ‘no reproach on you this day ; may Allah forgive you, and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy!”(12:92) go, you are free.
