Kitaab At-Tawheed, Chapter: 3
The Call to Testify That None is Worthy of Worship Except Allah
Allah says:
" Say (O Muhammad) : "This is my way; I invite unto Allah with sure knowledge, I and whosoever follows me. And Glorified and Exalted is Allah. And I am not of the Mushrikeen (Polytheists)." (Qur'an 12:108)
Allah commands His Prophet in this verse to teach the people and make clear to them his Religion and his Sunnah and his way of life and that of those who follow the call to Allah's Religion, and practice Tawheed (Monotheism), and that by so doing, he and those who obey him and believe in him are following Divine Guidance and acting upon knowledge and clear evidence; and they exalt their Lord and glorify Him above any association of partners, in His Lordship, in worship and in His Divine Names and Attributes; and that he (the Prophet) is free of the polytheists and their Shirk (associating partners with Allah).
