Action Plan

1. The meaning of “Tauheed” is to believe that there is no Partner to Allah in His Being and in His Attributes. In other words, how Almighty Allah is, we do not believe that there is another being like Him. If any person believes on the contrary, then his belief would constitute Shirk.

2. Believe in the magnificence of Allah, His Power and Might.

3. Reflect on Quranic ayah, hadith and 99 names that talk about Allah and His Attributes.

3. Have Taqwa – Be God conscious. Know that Allah is watching you all the time. Love Allah for his bounties and fear Allah if you intend doing evil deeds.

4. Obey and worship Allah’s commands.

5. Stay away from what Allah has forbidden for us.
