π Let's journey through the chronicles of prophethood to witness the unbroken chain of Tawheed, the Oneness of Allah, that each Prophet called to. π
π Prophet Nuh (AS): "O my people! Worship Allah! You have No other god but Him. Will you not fear (Him)?"
- Prophet Nuh was one of the earliest messengers, and his call was simple yet profound: Worship only Allah. This sets the stage for all Prophets to come.
π₯ Prophet Ibrahim (AS): Known as the "Father of Monotheism," his life was a testament to Tawheed. He rejected idol worship and called his people to the worship of the One true God, challenged the people around him, and established the line of prophets through his lineage, Ismaaβeel and Is.haaq.
πΉ Prophet Musa (AS): He delivered the message of Tawheed to Pharaoh and led the Children of Israel to the worship of Allah alone, emphasising the first commandment, "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me."
π Prophet Isa (AS): Despite being misconstrued as divine by some, he himself clarified, "Worship Allah, my Lord, and your Lord."
π Prophet Muhammad (PBUH): "I testify that there is no god but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah."
- The final Prophet, Muhammad (PBUH), not only emphasised Tawheed but also lived it in every aspect of his life, providing a practical guide for us, fought battles due to it, and from his final words of advice before his death was to warn against Idolatry, forbidding taking his grave as a place of worship, a masjid.
π Why is this Chain Important?
This unbroken chain of Prophets calling to Tawheed serves as a powerful testament to its central role in our faith. It's not just a concept; it's the essence of all prophetic teachings.
May Allah grant us the Tawfiq to understand and implement this in everything we do, to call others to this and to sacrifice everything for this cause.
