The Taaghoot are many, and their heads are five Allaah made it obligatory upon all the servants to reject and disbelieve in at-taaghoot, and to believe in Allaah. Shaykh ul-Islam Imam Ibn ul-Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah (May Allaah have mercy upon him) said: “At-taaghoot is anyone whom the servants go beyond the due bounds, whether it is someone worshipped, obeyed or followed.” The taaghoot are many, and their heads are five: 1. Iblees (Satan), may Allaah’s curse be upon him. 2. Whoever is worshipped and is pleased with that. 3. Whoever calls the people to worship them. 4. Whoever claims to possess anything from the knowledge of the affairs of the hidden and unseen. 5. Whoever judges by other than what Allaah sent down. The proof is the saying of Allaah, the Most High: “No one is to be compelled to enter the religion; true guidance has been made clear and distinct from falsehood. So whoever rejects at- taaghoot and truly believes and worships Allaah alone, then has grasped the firmest handhold that will never break.” This is the meaning of ‘laa ilaha illa Allaah’. This is pointing to the fact that it is obligatory to worship Allaah alone and sincerely without any partners, because the first thing that Allaah commanded the servants with was to believe in Allaah and disbelieve in at-taaghoot. Moreover, they are many but their heads are five. It means their leaders and those who a blindly followed by them. BY: al-Allaamah Ubayd Al-Jaabiree (hafidahullah)
