Tawhid ki kitab (Urdu) By Hafiz Imran Ayub Lahori

Tawhid Ki Kitabby Hafiz Imran Ayub Lahori is a simple and concise Urdu book that teaches the basic principle of Tawhid the unity of Allah learned and applied by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and the companions. The book is not scholarly but rather a practical guidebook for all Muslims who desire to rectify and enhance their belief in the Lordship, Worship, and Names and Attributes of Allah.
In a time when cultural practices, personal belief, and foreign thought have misled many about the nature of Islamic faith, this book returns the discussion to the root of Islam: Tawhid. It describes the concept in simple terms while providing direct quotations from the Qur’an and true Sunnah. For Muslims who speak Urdu particularly those who are new to the study of Islam or who want to correct prevailing misconceptions this book serves as an excellent place to start.
Understanding Tawhid: The Essence of Islam
Tawhid is Islam’s most fundamental belief. It means to testify that Allah is One in His Lordship (Tawhid ar-Rububiyyah), in His right to be worshipped (Tawhid al-Uluhiyyah), and in His Names and Attributes (Tawhid al-Asma wa Sifaat). Tawhid alone is required; without it, no other act of worship is acceptable, and no deed is worth anything in the eyes of Allah.
Hafiz Imran Ayub Lahori introduces the book by pointing out that all the Prophets from Adam (AS) to Muhammad ﷺ invited their nations towards Tawhid. He reminds us that Tawhid is not merely a heart’s belief it influences actions, character, and worldview. It is what differentiates real Islam from all other man-made ideologies and religions.
The book then describes the three types of Tawhid, explaining each thoroughly with the help of Qur’anic verses and sayings of the Prophet. The descriptions are easy to understand but precise, making the book accessible even to young readers and those who have never read about Islamic theology before.
Refuting Shirk and Popular Misconceptions
One. One of the plus points of Tawhid Ki Kitab is that it doesn’t just tell us what Tawhid is it tells us what it is not. The writer spends far too many sections on shirk (imputing partners to Allah) the greatest sin in Islam and the exact opposite of Tawhid. He illustrates the examples of shirk that are prevalent in society today. Especially in South Asian cultures. Such as:
Invoking Allah and then also invoking saints or the dead. Vowing in the name of other than Allah. Supposing that some peers, awliya, or spiritual leaders dominate life, death, or provision. Practicing superstitious acts or resorting to the aid of charms and amulets. Hafiz Imran Ayub Lahori takes Qur’anic proofs to demonstrate how even the Makkah polytheists believed Allah to be the Creator but committed shirk by attributing acts of worship to others.
He points out to the reader that all those Muslims today commit the same error not in denial of Allah, but by inserting intermediaries in worshiping, which is exactly against Tawhid. This section of the book is particularly significant as it clears long-standing cultural misconceptions and calls the reader back to untainted belief. It does this in a respectful but insistent way, always bringing one back to the Qur’an as the ultimate evidence.
Tawhid and Daily Life
The writer does not just leave Tawhid as a subject of theory. He describes its practical effect on the life of the believer how it should influence the manner in which we pray, have faith in Allah, seek assistance, and cope with trial. A Muslim who actually believes in Tawhid has faith only in Allah, fears only Him, and hopes only in His mercy.
The book indicates how Tawhid:
Forms a strong, firm heart. Eliminates fear of creation. Develops sincerity in worship. Liberates an individual from superstition and reliance on others. Boosts love for Allah and compliance with His commandments. This emphasis on application serves to make the book more than a lesson in theology it is a tool for spiritual growth and purification.
Simple Language, Powerful Message
One of the most striking aspects of the book is its easy-to-understand Urdu language. The author uses simple, common words and does not try to use too technical a vocabulary or complicated grammar. Therefore, the book can be easily accessed by students, housewives, young people, and elderly people alike. It can be taught in study circles, masjid classes, or home reading sessions.
In spite of the ease, the message is never watered down. Every chapter is supported by original sources, and references are provided for those interested in further reading. The tone is genuine and motivating, challenging the reader to think, correct, and improve.
A Help Tool for Da’wah and Education
Tawhid Ki Kitab is also an applicable pedagogical tool. Its format makes it simple to convert to lesson plans, khutbah material, or da’wah sessions. It is self-contained in each topic so that teachers or students may study one subject matter at a time whether it’s “Tawhid in Worship” or “The Dangers of Shirk in Practice.”
For those who are engaged in da’wah in communities, particularly in Urdu-speaking areas, this book offers a clear definition to present Tawhid without controversy or ambiguity. It presents the ideal mix of firmness and wisdom so that the message of pristine monotheism is communicated with both knowledge and empathy.
Final Thoughts
Tawhid Ki Kitab by Hafiz Imran Ayub Lahori is a short, powerful, and much-needed book in the realm of Islamic faith, particularly within Urdu literature. It reawakens the central message of Islam, the unity of Allah and presents it in a manner that is both authentic and comprehensible. By concentrating on the Qur’an and valid Hadith, the book invites the reader to the same path tread by the Prophets and followed by the righteous scholars of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama’ah.
Whether you are a student of knowledge, a parent educating your children, a da’wah volunteer, or simply someone looking for enlightenment in faith, this book does what its title advertises: a plain and reliable guide to the comprehension and practice of Tawhid.
