Chapter: Whoever actualizes tawḥīd (pure monotheism) will enter Paradise without reckoning.

Allah the Exalted says: “Indeed, Abraham was a community unto himself, devoutly obedient to Allah, wholly inclined to Him, and he was not one of the polytheists” (An-Naḥl 16:120).

And He says: “And those who, with their Lord, do not associate anything” (Al-Mu’minūn 23:59).

Relevance of this chapter to the Book of Tawḥīd: After the author—may Allah have mercy on him—explained tawḥīd and its virtue, it was appropriate that he clarify what it means to realize it, for its full merit is attained only through its perfect realization.

“Actualizes tawḥīd” means he purifies and refines it from every trace of shirk, innovation, and sin.

“Without reckoning” means he will not be brought to account at all.

“Ummatan” (a nation) here means a model, an imam who guides to goodness.

“Qanitan” (devout) indicates constant obedience.

“Ḥanīfan” describes one who turns wholly to Allah and turns away from everything else.

“Wa lam yak” is originally “yakun”; the nūn was omitted for ease of pronunciation.

“Of the polytheists” means he dissociated himself from them with heart, tongue, and body, rejecting what they followed.

“And those who do not associate partners with their Lord” means they worship none alongside Him.
