However, what the people of realization, like Al-Junayd and his peers, mean is that this tawhid becomes for the servant a disposition and a station.
Such that it gives him reliance on Allah the Exalted, entrusting matters to Him, patience with His ruling, and contentment with His decree.
As long as it does not lead him to dismiss command and prohibition, reward and punishment, promise and warning.
As happens with some groups of Sufis.
Rather, he intended to realize tawhid al-rububiyyah (unity of lordship) and tawhid al-uluhiyyah (unity of worship).
And it means to worship Allah alone, associating nothing with Him.
This is the monotheism with which the messengers were sent.
It brings happiness to its holder and he will enter Paradise without a doubt, and he will have a supplication that is answered.
And whoever misses this monotheism, indeed Allah does not forgive associating others with Him.
So the supplication does not benefit him.
And this is the monotheism mentioned in the statement of Al-Maraghi.
The purity of worship is attained only through the purity of monotheism.
As for the statement of Al-Nuri
Monotheism is every thought that points to Allah, encompassing all of that.
He says that every orientation to Allah alone, whether by word or action, is monotheism.
If there is no likening of the Creator to the creation or the creation to the Creator.
As in the statements of the Jahmiyyah, the Mushabbihah, and the Qadariyyah and their likes.
And what the shaykhs have mentioned regarding the negation of likening and nullification has already been addressed.
