Imam Ibn al-Qayyim (رحمه الله) said regarding the Qur’an:

“All of the Qur’an is regarding Tawhīd. This is because the Qur’an is either:

1. Information regarding Allaah (the Most High), His names, His attributes, His actions and His statements. This is Tawhīd in knowledge and information [regarding Him].

2. A call to worship Him alone, He has not partners; and abandoning anything which is worshipped besides Him. This is Tawhīd of one’s intent and seeking.

3. A command or a prohibition, and [an order to] maintain His obedience in His commands and prohibitions. This is from the rights of the Tawhīd and its perfection.

4. Information regarding the honouring the people of Tawhīd, and what happened to them in the Worldly life and what they will be hon- oured with in the Hereafter. This is the reward of Tawhīd.

5. Information regarding the people of Shirk, and what happened to them in the Worldly Life from punishments; and what will happen to them in the final abode of punishment. This is the recompense of those who leave the command of Tawhīd.

So the Qur’an, all of it, is regarding Tawhīd, its rights and rewards, as well as regarding the state of Shirk, its people and their recompense.”
