The people of innovation say that dividing Tawheed into three categories is a newly invented matter. What is the response to them?
📜 Answer:
The response to them is that this is mentioned in the Book of Allah: "To Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them" (Quran 7:180), "And those whom you invoke other than Him do not possess even as much as the membrane of a date seed. If you invoke them, they do not hear your supplication" (Quran 35:13-14), and "If you ask them who created the heavens and the earth, they will surely say, 'Allah'" (Quran 31:25). This is mentioned in the Book of Allah.
Furthermore, as I recall, Abdul-Razzaq ibn Abdul-Muhsin al-Abbad has written a valuable treatise refuting this claim and has provided the evidence. If you look into the Book of Tawheed in Sahih Bukhari, you will find it mentions Tawhid ar-Rububiyyah, Tawhid al-Uluhiyyah, and Tawhid al-Asma wa-Sifat. This is also how our early scholars approached it, such as Ubaydullah ibn Battah, may Allah have mercy on him, who divided Tawheed into three categories.
One can argue with them by saying: classifying words into nouns, verbs, and particles could be considered an innovation, and so could other classifications. However, this categorisation is supported by the Quran and Sunnah. Our scholars, may Allah have mercy on them, have authored numerous works on this subject. And Allah is the one whose help is sought.
