Tawheed is indispensable for the entire mankind

Tawheed is indispensable for the entire mankind
It is a human need to have firm belief in Tawheed, which stands for having faith in Allah, accepting that He alone is the Creator and Sustainer of mankind and thus have, trust in Him. Further, such an undiluted faith caters to his nature as well as his intellect. According to one of the greatest think tanks of the Islamic World on the current century, Hazrat Maulana Syed Abul Hasan Ali Nadvi said: Man has always been dependent on others for the fulfillment of his needs. His needs and requirements have gradually exceeded the limits. Also, he has innumerable enemies in this world. Thus, He cannot live depending on someone whose strength, power, information capacity and awareness is limited despite being enormous. He needs someone who can protect him in every way, at every juncture, fulfill his gargantuan needs, which keep on augmenting, one who has absolute control and supremacy over the universe, one who can create and create everything and one who loves His creations more than an affectionate mother does. Such an entity belongs to none other than Allah, the Almighty. Unfortunately, man’s perception and cognitive power takes a beating in such matters and he accepts powerless and helpless entities as his saviours or masters, despite all their shortcomings.
