Aqeedha Lesson - Belief In Thawheedh - Part 2

Actions and beliefs against the belief in Thawheedh Ar Rububiyah condemned in Qur’an & Sunnah

1)      To wear a Ring, Twine or anything similar to them for prevention, remove harm or affliction is an act of Shirk.

The Prophet (sal) once saw a man with a brass ring on his hand and asked him, "What is this?" The man replied, "To overcome the weakness of old age." He said, "Remove it, for, it can only add to your weakness. Should death overtake you
while you are wearing it, you would never succeed."
[Musnad  Ahmad]

Ahmad also recorded a Marfu’ Hadith; Uqbah bin Aamir (ra), narrated that Prophet Muhammad (sal) said: "Whoever wears talisman or an amulet would never see his wish fulfilled by Allah. And whoever hangs a sea shell would never get peace and rest."

In an another version the Prophet (sal) is reported to have said: "Whoever wears a talisman has committed Shirk."


2)       Concerning Bad omens, predicting events through certain objects and arts, etc..........

"They believe in Al-Jibt and At-Taghut (all false deities)." [Qur'an 4:51]

The following hadeeth explain what Al Jibt means:

Prophet (sal) said: "Verily, Al-'lyafah (letting birds fly to foretell events) and At-Tarq (drawing lines on earth to predict events) and At-Tiyarah (taking sight on some object as a bad omen) are Al-Jibt"
[Musnad Ahmad]

reported that Uqbah bin Aamir (ra) said: At-Tiyarah (bad omens) was once mentioned before Allah's Messenger (sal) and he (sal) said, "The best form of it is Al-Fa'l (optimism or the expectation that a event will occur by Allah's Permission). It does not prevent a Muslim from his object. Whenever any of you sees something he dislikes he should pray: 'O Lord, none but You bring good things! None but you prevent evil things! There is no power and no strength except in You.' "
[Abu Dawood]


 3)       Concerning believing the words of a soothsayer or like

"Whoever visited a soothsayer and believed in his words, has denied the Revelation to Muhammad (sal) (i.e. Qur'an)."
[Abu Dawood]


 4)       Concernig belief in Astrology (Believing the constellations to be the cause to happen something, etc....

"And instead (of thanking Allah) for the provision He gives you, on the contrary, you deny Him (by disbelief)" [Qur'an 56:82]

Allah's Messenger (sal) led us in the Fair prayer at Hudaibiyah after a rainy night. On completion of the Salat (prayer), he faced the people and said, "Do you know what your Lord (swt) has said (revealed)?"
The people replied, "Allah and His Messenger know better." He said, "Allah has said, 'In this morning, some of Ibadi (My slaves) remained as true believers and some became disbelievers; whoever said that the rain was due to the blessings and the mercy of Allah is the one who believes in Me and he disbelieves in the star, and whoever said that it rained because of a particular star, is a disbeliever in Me and believer in the star.' "
[Saheeh Bukhari & Saheeh Muslim]

Note: Astrology and Astronomy are not the same, they are two different Sciences


5)       Concerning Saying what Allah wills and so and so wills

Once a man carne to the Prophet (sal) and said, "With the Will of Allah and (also) with your will", he (sal) then said, "Have you made me an associate with Allah? Rather it is 'what Allah Alone wills.' "
[Nasa''i]


6)       Concerning cursing/blaming the time

Narrated Abu Hurairah (ra) that the Prophet (sal) said: "Allah said, 'The son of Adam wrongs me for he curses Ad-Dahr (the time); though I am Ad- Dahr (the Time), in My Hands are all things, and I cause the revolution of day and night."
[Saheeh Bukhari]


 7)       Concerning the title "king of kings"

Abu Hurairah (ra) narrated that the Prophet (sal) said: "The most perfidious (awful/meanest) name to Allah is (that of) a man calling himself Malik Al-Amlak (the king of kings). In fact, there is no king but Allah".
[Bukhari]


8)       Concerning addressing "My slave"

Abu Hurairah (ra) narrated that Allah's Messenger (sal) said: "One of you should not say, 'Feed your Lord (Rabbaka), help your lord in performing ablution, but he should say, 'My master (e.g. Feed your master instead of lord, etc.) (Saiyidi)'. or 'My guardian' (Maulai), and one should not say, 'My slave ('Abdi), or 'My slave girl ('Amati), but he should say 'My lad (Fatai)', 'My lass (Fatati)' and 'My boy (Ghulami)' ".
[Saheeh Muslim]


9)       On saying "If only such and such ...."

Narrated Abu Hurairah (ra) that Allah's Messenger (sal) said: "Seek carefully what benefits you (in the Hereafter) and seek help only from Allah and neither lose heart. If any adversity (misfortune) comes to you don't say: 'If I had only acted in such and such way, it would have been such and such' but instead say: 'Allah has decreed it and what He willed is done.' Verily 'It opens the way for the work of Satan."
[Saheeh Muslim]


10)    Concerning making pictures

Abu Hurairah (ra) narrated that Allah's Messenger (sal) said: "Allah said: 'Who would be more unjust than the one who tries to create the like of my creatures? Let them create an atom, or let them create a grain, or let them create a barley corn.' "
[Saheeh Bukhari & Saheeh Muslim]


There may be more, but this is all I could find
