Verily, the foremost matter individuals should put to effect is:
To learn the purpose for which Allah created them, took the covenant upon them, sent His Messengers to them, sent down His divine scriptures. For this purpose, the worldly life, the Hereafter, the paradise and the hell-fire were created. Additionally, owing to this purpose, the Day of Judgement will be established, the scales of deeds will be set, the sheets of deeds will be scattered, and sorrow and happiness will be on that Day and on which light will be distributed.
Allah says,
“And he for whom Allah has not appointed light, for him there is no light.”
Allah instructs us that we are created to worship Him. The backbone and foundation of worship is Tawheed; with which all the Messengers had been missioned to proclaim, The simple profession that comprises Tawheed in its entirety is very short, copious of implications, and critically significant; it is:
“La ilaha ill Allah”

This remembrance has merits and virtues none but Allah fully encompasses – the meanings and implications of which, lead to certainty and solace through strengthening ones’ faith and connection with Allah. This special dhikr is of such importance that the author (may Allah preserve him) saw the need to single it out in this short treatise, entitling it, “The Hawqala: Its meanings, virtues, and creedal implications”. It is hoped Muslims will focus their efforts in meaningfully utilising this phrase and making it a regular feature of their every day lives, along with other types of remembrances of Allah.
We believe in Allah the Exalted, by His beautiful names and lofty attributes, which are affirmed in the Quran and the authentic Sunnah in a way which are befitting to His majesty; without Tahreef (distortion) or ta’teel (negating) or takyeef (saying how) and tamtheel (likeness to creation). Rather we say: All of his attributes are true and all of His names are beautiful. We affirm for Allah, what He has affirmed for Himself, what His prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam), has affirmed for Him, and what the companions of the prophet,(Radiallahu anhum), have affirmed for Him; in what which is befitting to His majesty. His attributes do not resemble the attributes of the creation, and His names do not resemble the names of His creation. He has beautiful names, and they have great meanings.
