T

Taaghout (pl. Tawaagheet)    الطاغوت
The Sharee'ah definition of Taaghout is: “Anyone (or anything) that is worshipped, obeyed or followed other than Allah”. In other words, Taaghout is a false deity (god).
If someone worships a person, and that person accepts to be worshipped then he is Taaghout. Likewise, if a person makes legislation he too is Taaghout, as only Allah has the right to legislate.
Taaghout can be a ruler (who does not rule by Islam), police (who do not enforce Islam), a stone, constitution, animal, scholar (who does not judge by the Sharee'ah), celebrity etc.
Whoever follows or worships the Taaghout, he will become one himself.

Tauhîd           التوحيد
: It has three aspects; A, B and C:
(A)     Oneness of the Lordship of Allah; Tauhîd-ar-Rububiyya: To believe that there is only one Lord for all the universe, its Creator, Organizer, Planner, Sustainer, and the Giver of Security, etc., and that is Allah.
(B)     Oneness of the worship of Allah; Tauhîd-al-Uluhiyya: To believe that none has the right to be worshipped [e.g. praying, invoking, asking for help (from the unseen), swearing, slaughtering sacrifices, giving charity, fasting, pilgrimage, etc.], but Allah.
(C)     Oneness of the Names and the Qualities of Allah;

Tauhîd-al-Asmâ was-Sifat:          توحيد الأسماء والصفات
To believe that: (i) we must not name or qualify Allah except with what He or His Messenger saw has named or qualified Him; (ii) none can be named or qualified with the Names or Qualifications of Allah; e.g. Al-Karim; (iii) we must confirm Allah's all qualifications which Allah has stated in His Book (the Qur'ân) or mentioned through His Messenger (Muhammad saw ) without changing them or ignoring them completely or twisting the meanings or giving resemblance to any of the created things; e.g. Allah is present over His Throne as mentioned in the Qur'ân. (V. 20: 5): "The Most Beneficent (i.e. Allah) Istawa (rose over) the (Mighty) Throne" over the seventh heaven; and He only comes down over the first (nearest) heaven (to us) during the day of 'Arafât (Hajj, i.e. 9th Dhul-Hijja) and also during the last third part of the night, as mentioned by the Prophet saw, but He is with us by His Knowledge only, not by His Personal Self (Bi-Dhatihi), "There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer." (The Qur'ân, V. 42:11).
This holy Verse confirms the quality of hearing and the quality of sight for Allah without resemblance to others; and likewise He also said:
"To one whom I have created with Both My Hands," (V. 38:75); and He also said:
"The Hand of Allah is over their hands.": (V. 48:10, The Qur'ân). This confirms two Hands for Allah, but there is no similarity for them.
This is the Faith of all true believers, and was the Faith of all the Prophets of Allah from Noah, Abraham, Moses and Christ till the last of the Prophets, Muhammad saw . It is not like as some people think that Allah is present every-where, here, there and even inside the breasts of men.
These three aspects of Tauhîd are included in the meanings of Lâ ilâha ill Allâh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah).
It is also essential to follow Allah's Messenger Muhammad saw: Wajûb Al-Itteba' and it is a part of Tauhîd-al-Uluhiyya. This is included in the meaning: "I testify that Muhammad saw is the Messenger of Allah" and this means, "None has the right to be followed after Allah's Book (the Qur'ân), but Allah's Messenger saw ". [See the Qur'ân (V. 59:7) and (V. 3:31)].

Tawheed (Al)   Monotheism The Divine Unity    التوحيد
The Divine Unity, Unity in its most profound sense. Allah is One in His Essence and His Attributes and His Acts. The whole universe and what it contains is One unified event which in itself has no lasting reality. Allah is the Real, AI-Haqq.
Although Allah is indivisible and beyond conception, Tawheed can be viewed from four distinct perspectives:
1.    Tawheed aI-Rububiyah: Unity of Lordship.
To perceive that there is only one Lord, the Master and Creator of the Universe, Who oversees and orders it in every moment, and that He is Allah Subhana wa Ta'ala.
2.    Tawheed aI-Uluhiyah: Unity of Worship.
To realise that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah "Wahdahu Ia shareeka'lah" ("Alone without partner").
3.    Tawheed al-Asma wa Sifaat:
Unity of Names and Attributes of Allah Ta'ala. To comprehend that:
o    None can qualify or name Allah except as He or Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, have named or qualified Him.
o    None can be named or qualified with the Names or the Attributes that belong only to Allah Subhana wa Ta'ala. For example, none maybe called "AI-Muhyee" ("the Giver of Life") except Allah Subhana wa Ta'ala Himself.
o    We must accept all the Ayat and Ahadeeth (Sahih)regarding the Attributes of Allah without altering their meaning in any way whatsoever. For a full list of the Attributes of Allah Ta'ala.
4.    Tawheed al-Itabaa:
Unity in following the Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. To believe in and recite the words "Ashadu anna Muhammadar-Rasoolullah" ("I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah") and to follow the way of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, as much as one is able, in life and worship. It is only by following the way of Islam that the true nature of Tawhid becomes apparent.
