Why Did ALLAH Create Us

 Taghut: 

The word Taghut is derived from ‘Tugyan’. The literal meaning of this word is ‘crossing the border or to pass the limit’.

The definition of TAGHUT in the Shariah is ‘anyone who exceeds the proper limits by ascribing to himself any of the rights of Allah (Subhana wa ta‘ala) and makes himself a partner with Allah (Subhana wa ta‘ala)’.

Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) defined Taghut as:

« Anything or anyone worshipped apart from Allah (Subhana wa ta‘ala)

Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahab (may Allah’s mercy be upon him) Said:

“The TAWAGHIT are many and their heads are five.

1. Satan who invites people to worship other than Allah (Subhana wa ta‘ala).

Allah (Subhana wa ta’ala) Says:

“Did I not command you Children of Adam, that you should not worship Shaitan. Verily he is a plain enemy to you.” 

(Surah 36 verse 60)

2.The oppressive ruler who changes the laws of Allah (Subhana wa ta‘ala).

Allah Azawajal says:

“Have you seen those (hypocrites) who claim that they believe in that which has been sent down to you, and that which was sent down before you, and they wish to go for judgment (in their disputes) to the Taghut (false judges) while they have been ORDERED to REJECT them. But Shaitan wishes to lead them far astray.” 

(Surah An- Nisaa Ayah 60)

3.The one who does not govern by what Allah(Subhana wa ta‘ala) has revealed.

Allah (Subhana wa ta‘ala) says:

“Verily, We did send down the Taurat, therein was guidance and light, by which the Prophets, who submitted themselves to Allah’s Will, judged for the Jews. And the rabbis and the priests, for to them was entrusted the protection of Allah’s Book. Therefore fear not men but fear Me and sell not My Verses for a miserable price. And whosoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed are the Kafir in (disbelievers).” 

(Surah Al Maidah Ayah 44)

4.The who claims knowledge of the unseen.

Allah (Subhana wa ta‘ala) states:

“The All-Knower of the Ghaib(Unseen), and He reveals to none His Ghaib.” 

(Surah Al-Jinn verse 26)

5.The one who is worshipped and pleased with it.

Allah (Subhana wa ta‘ala) Says:

“And if any of them should say: “Verily I am an ilah (god) besides Him” such a one We should recompense with Hell. Thus We should recompense the Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoers).”

(Surah Al-Anbiya verse 29)

**And know that man will never become a believer in Allah unless he rejects and disbelieves in the Taghut. And he can’t reject the taghut if he doesn’t know what a taghut is.

The ‘disbelief in the taghut is the First pillar of Tawheed.**
