TAWHÎD ADH-DHÂHIRΠ -  TAWHÎD AL-‘ÂMÎ

 توحيد العامي - توحيد الظاهري

 

The tawhîd of an ordinary and ignorant person. The external and common affirmation of tawhîd.

 

There are two sorts of tawhîd:

First is tawhîd al-‘âmî that it says: “There is no sharik of Allah; the universe does not belong to someone else.” In the thought of the owner of such tawhîd, ghaflah and dhalâlah can penetrate.

Second is tawhîd al-haqîqî that it says: “Allah is One. Sovereignty, dominion, universe and everything belong to Him.” and sees His seal on everything and reads His stamp on all things. This sort of tawhîd establishes a confirmation with hudhur in that man. Dhalâlah and wahm cannot penetrate in this sort of tawhîd.
