An example of another Tawhid is “Tawhid Al-'Afāl”: that is, God is the real Creator of all actions and consequences as explained by scholars like explained by Imam Muhammad Nafis al- Banjari (b. 1148 AH/1735 AD).
The Mu’tazila had denied that Allah creates man’s actions and believed instead that man has his own will and power within himself to control the action. Thus they negated this form of Tawhid.
The point is that to say it's ONLY 3 is a reprehensible bida.
The other problem is that most Salafis "SPLIT" Tawhid. So they will claim that you can have parts of Tawhid and not others. This is absurd. Tawhid is One. If you are a Mushrik, you are a Mushrik *in totality*.
You can't have "some" Tawhid.

This is an absolutely brilliant thread to prove the traditional Sunni position that seeking assistance through unseen beings is no more ‘shirk’ than seeking help through present humans. NEITHER any have power. No human, no angel, no jinn, seen or unseen: Power is ONLY with Allah.
To make a DISTINCTION in the assistance you might receive from a seen being compared to an unseen being is actually closer to SHIRK. Since this entails that you think the one in front of you, who is present, has some kind of intrinsic ability/power over the one that is not.
As Imam M. Ash-Shatti Al-Hanbali [d. 1929] said: “There is no difference between the state of life or death. Those who make a difference are actually much closer to idolatry... because their position is that the living have some sort of influence or intrinsic effect on things.”
There are various ways in which the Salafi Sect manipulates our classical literature:
- Corrupt translations
- Adding footnotes to negate what’s in the actual text
- Changing words in their “edition”
- Completely omitting certain sections
This thread will be added to overtime to provide examples with scanned prints to show how manipulative the Salafi movement is in seeking to alter the religion of Islam.
They do this to IMPOSE their 18th century (khariji) ideology onto our classical texts.
SALAFI TEXTUAL DISTORTION: CASE 1
IMAM ABU HANIFA رَحِمَهُ الله ALLEGEDLY AFFIRMS "3 TAWHIDS" ?
NO SUCH THING AS TOO MUCH RESPECT AND LOVE FOR THE PROPHET ﷺ
Short story of Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari and his wife, Umm Ayyub, may Allah be pleased with them.

When the Prophet ﷺ emigrated to Madinah, he was without a home. Joyous crowds of elders and children gathered for his arrival, each anticipating to receive him; how wonderful to be the Prophet's ﷺ host/neighbour. Even the trees of the city would become lovingly attached to him.
It was never the etiquette of the Prophet ﷺ to make anyone feel left out. So in choosing the location of his future abode, he allowed his camel, Qaswa, to roam the city - guided by God - and where the camel would decide to sit, would be where he ﷺ would build his home & mosque.
