The meaning of Tawheed:

بـسـم الله والحـمـد لله والـصلاة والـسـلام عــلى رسـول الله، وبـعـد

Shaikh al-Islaam, Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said:

“The reality of Tawheed is that we should worship Allaah Alone. So none should be called [1] upon except Him; none should be feared [2] except Him; none should be revered [3] except Him; none should be relied [4] upon except Him; and Religion (worship) should be to none except Him – not to anyone from the creation. And when we are not suppose to take the Angels and the Prophets as our lords (and gods); then how can (we take) the Imaams, the Shuyookh, the scholars, the kings and other than them (as our lords)?!”
