LESSON 1: Oneness of Allahazwj:
(Teacher to explain to children)
- Our First Imam Aliasws, says, It is impossible to Describe Allahazwj, who is Oneazwj but that Oneazwj which cannot be divided.
- Allahazwj is the First for whom there was no ‘before’ so that there could not be anything before Himazwj. Allahazwj is the Last for whom there is no ‘after’ so that there could not be anything after Himazwj.
- Allahazwj stops the pupils of the eyes from seeing Himazwj or (imagination) to (visualise) Himazwj. Time does not affect Himazwj. Heazwj is not in a place so as to allow Himazwj movement (from one place to another).
- There is no one Like Allahazwj, for example, Allahazwj is extremely close to something but at the same time is extremely far away from it,
- Mola Aliasws says (about hisasws Lordazwj): Allahazwj is higher than any qualities that you could come up with, and Allahazwj is higher than what can be imagined by Hisazwj servants. Also, Hisazwj unique qualities must be the ones Heazwj is pleased with and accepts with pleasure. I witness that there is no god But Allahazwj, Heazwj is undivisible and there is no one equivalent to Himazw.j.. I state that Mohammedsaww is created by Himazwj to be Hisazwj Prophet.
- The reciting of the ‘Salawat’ makes one worthy of countless blessings. So you should send ‘Salawat’ on your Prophetsaww, and join the angels in doing so. (As Allahazwj Says in Quran) O believers! Send Salawat on your Prophet, his pious and pure descendants and submit to his rights as they deserve to be:
إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَ مَلائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيماً اللهم صل على محمد و ذريته
(In allaha wa malaikatahoo yas aloona al anabi ya ay yoo halazeena amanoo salloo al-ey he wa salimoo thaslyma Allah homa sali Allah Mohammed wa zu ree thhe)
