التوحيد

“The true reality of tawḥīd is that we worship Allah alone: none is invoked except Him, none is feared except Him, none is guarded against except Him, none is relied upon except Him, and the religion belongs exclusively to Him— not to any of His creation. We must not take angels or prophets as lords; so how could it be permissible to do so with imams, shaykhs, scholars, kings, or others besides them?!” — Minhāj al-Sunnah al-Nabawiyyah, vol. 3, p. 490
