My Lord Nurtures Me

Tawheed – Oneness of Allah ﷻ

Having tried to gain a basic understanding of the word Rabb and what it actually means, we will now focus on the various ways in which Allah ﷻ nurtures us.

The one way in which we are in great desperation of, is Spiritual Nurturing, and thus over the next couple of days, we will endeavour to unpack how this nurturing takes place, in sha Allah.

Understanding how Allah nurtures us through Tawheed (the Oneness of Allah) is crucial to deepening our faith and our connection with Him. Tawheed is not just a theological concept; it is a living reality that shapes every aspect of our existence. It affects how we see the world, how we handle struggles, and how we find true peace.

  1. Tawheed and Rabb: Understanding the Connection

What is Tawheed? Tawheed means believing that Allah is One and has no partners in His Lordship, Worship and Names & Attributes.

What is Rabb?

The name “Rabb” means the One who creates, sustains, nurtures, and guides. It is closely linked to Tawheed because:

If Allah alone is Rabb, then only He nurtures, provides, and controls everything. Tawheed is not just about knowing that Allah exists; it’s about knowing how He takes care of every part of your life.

  1. How My Rabb Nurtures Me Through Tawheed

It is best to understand it through the three branches of Tawheed:

  1. Tawheed Ar-Ruboobiyyah (Oneness of Lordship) – My Rabb Controls Everything

This aspect of Tawheed means that Allah alone is the Creator, Sustainer, and Controller of the universe. No one else shares this power.

How does this nurture me?

  • It relieves my anxiety – Nothing happens without His wisdom. My Rabb is always in control.
  • It gives me confidence – My success does not depend on people but on my Rabb.
  • It makes me grateful – Every blessing I have is from Him alone.

Imagine a child who is afraid of the dark. If their parent holds their hand and says, “I am here, don’t be afraid,” the child feels safe. Similarly, knowing that Allah alone controls everything gives us peace in uncertain times.

  1. Tawheed Al-Uloohiyyah (Oneness of Worship) – My Rabb Teaches Me to Rely Only on Him

This aspect of Tawheed means that only Allah deserves our worship, love, and obedience.

How does this nurture me?

  • It frees me from seeking validation from others – I don’t need to please society; I need to please my Rabb.
  • It teaches me sincerity – My actions are for Allah, not for show.
  • It gives me inner peace – I trust only in Allah, not in people or material things.

Imagine a person who is always trying to impress others. They get stressed, anxious, and never feel satisfied. But when they shift their focus to pleasing only Allah, they feel relieved and at peace.

  1. Tawheed Al-Asmaa’ wa Sifaat (Oneness of Names & Attributes) – My Rabb Nurtures Me with His Perfect Qualities

This aspect of Tawheed means that Allah’s names and attributes are unique, perfect, and beyond human comparison.

How does this nurture me?

  • It gives me comfort – My Rabb is Ar-Rahman (The Most Merciful), so He forgives my mistakes.
  • It makes me feel valued – My Rabb is Al-Wadud (The Most Loving), so I am never unloved.
  • It gives me hope – My Rabb is Al-Fattah (The One Who Opens Doors), so I always have new opportunities.

Imagine someone who has been abandoned by people they trusted. They feel alone – until they remember Allah is Al-Wali (The Protective Friend), and He will never abandon them.

  1. What Happens If We Ignore Tawheed in Our Nurturing?

When people don’t properly recognize Tawheed, they lose the benefits of their Rabb’s nurturing:

❌ Without Tawheed people feel lost,

  • They believe in “luck” instead of trusting Allah.
  • They feel helpless when facing difficulties.

❌ Without Tawheed people become slaves to the world,

  • They constantly seek approval from others.
  • They worship money, fame, or power instead of Allah.

❌ Without Tawheed people feel alone and hopeless

  • They think no one understands them.
  • They doubt Allah’s mercy and lose hope in Him.

إِنَّ رَبِّى رَحِيمٌ وَدُودٌ

“My Rabb is Merciful and Loving.” (Hud 11: 90)

If we truly understand Tawheed, we will feel the love, guidance, and care of our Rabb in every moment of our lives.
