Chapter 1 - كتاب التوحيد (At-Tawheed)
The first chapter tells you that Tawheed is the purpose behind your creation.
Umar bin Abdul-Aziz said, "إنما خلقتم للأبد" (You were created for eternity).
Chapter 2 - باب فضل التوحيد و ما يكفر من الذنوب
This Chapter tells you about the virtues of Tawheed. If you come with basic Tawheed, what does it give you? It will save you from eternity in Hellfire. All the people of لا اله الا الله will eventually enter Paradise
Chapter 3 - باب من حقق التوحيد دخل الجنة بغير الحساب و لا عذاب
Whoever actualizes Tawheed will enter Paradise without reckoning. There are people who complete Tawheed, and they enter Paradise with no reckoning.
Chapter 4 - باب الخوف من الشرك
Fear of Shirk. This is the enemy of Tawheed. Major Shirk will remove it altogether, Minor Shirk will make it deficient.
Chapter 5 - باب الدعاء إلى شهادة أن لا إله إلا الله
Once you are safe; you know Tawheed and are afraid of Shirk, you have to save others. The first thing you need to call others to is the Tawheed of Allah.
Little work with a heart full of Tawheed goes a long way than a lot of work with a heart mixed with Shirk.
Chapter 6 - باب تفسير التوحيد و شهادة أن لا إله إلا الله (Explanation of Tawheed and the Testimony)
Your Tawheed will not be complete unless you remove yourself and disbelieve in anything that is worshipped other than Allah.
Chapter 7 - باب من الشرك لَبْس الحلقة و الخيط و نحوها ارفع البلاء أو دفعه
Chapter 8 - باب ما جاء في الرقى و التهائم
This talks about depending on the means. Understand the means Allah put in this world: Islamic and Universal means.
Chapter 9 - باب من تبرك بشجرة او حجرة أو نحوها
Seeking blessing of anybody or anything is not allowed, except from what Allah told us.
Chapter 10 and 11 - باب من جاء في الذبح لغير الله و باب لا يذبح لله بمكان يذبح فيه لغير الله
Slaughtering for other than Allah.
The meaning of Major Shirk which removes a person from the fold of Islam directing an act of worship to other than Allah. If sacrificing and vowing is an act of worship, then directing it to other than Allah is Major Shirk (الشرك الأكبر)
If you want to slaughter for Allah do not slaughter at a place where polytheists are slaughtering for their idols
Chapter 12 - باب من الشرك النذر لغير الله
Chapter 13 - باب من الشرك الإستعاذة لغير الله
Chapter 14 - باب من الشرك أن يستغيث بغير الله أو يدعو غيره
It is from Shirk to vow with other than Allah, to make Isti'aadah with other than Allah, to make Istighathah to other than Allah.
Worships of the Heart:
الإستعاذة (To seek the protection of Allah from something you are afraid of)
الإستغاثه (When you are in a desperate situation and beg Allah)
Chapter 15
From this chapter begin proofs why Allah deserves Tawheed; Who Allah is.
Two things will help you correct your Tawheed:
1) To know Allah
2) To know the qualities of creation which is worshipped besides Allah.
The Prophet ﷺ cannot help you.
Chapter 16
When Allah talks the Angels tremble with fear. Are these worthy of your worship, or Allah?
Chapter 17 - باب الشفاعة
The polytheists say that they just take their false deities as intercessors to come closer to Allah. Allah does not accept except what is pure for Him. He is Self-Sufficient and does not need Shirk. Anything you do with Shirk in it is not accepted.
Chapter 18
There is no interecession or guidance except in the Hands of Allah. هداية التوفيق is in the Hands of Allah alone. We seek guidance 17 times minimum every day.
With the importance of Tawheed, why are people becoming polytheists?
Chapter 19, 20, 21- Exaggeration of the good people, their graves, etc. This was the basis of Shirk.
Chapter 22 - باب ما جاء في حماية المصطفى جناب التوحيد و سده كل طريق إلى الشرك
The protection of Tawheed and the Prophet ﷺ closing the path to Shirk. Before the Prophet ﷺ passed away he for us from making his graveyard an Eid, and cursed the Jews and Christians who did that.
Chapter 23 - باب ما جاء آن بعض هذه الأمة تعبد الأوثان
Some people of this Ummah will worship idols. This will happen and happened. It does not matter if what they worship is a statue, or grave, etc.
Chapter 24,25,26,27,28,29,30
This talks about sorcery, fortune telling, astrology, omens, etc. These are all types of Shirk - either Major or Minor. We have to keep away and clear our hearts ands minds from all these things, from things we wear, hang, believe in, and read in the newspapers in order to protect our Tawheed.
Chapter 31, 32, 33, 34
These are worships of the heart. Fear of Allah, depending on Allah, Feeling secure from His plot, etc.
Do not think good of yourself, because it means you are feeling secure from the plot of Allah. Even if you are good now, you do not know what happen in the future. Maybe a Fitnah will come which will turn you upside down.
When someone takes off their Hijab it means there is something wrong with their heart; a weakness in faith. You do not focus on the importance of Hijab when talking to her, you focus on her faith.
Chapter 35 - باب من الإيمان بالله الصبر على أقدار الله
Patience is part of Tawheed
Chapter 36 - باب ما جاء في الرياء
Chapter 37 - باب من الشرك إرادة الإنسان بعمله الدنيا
This is all about Riyaa and wanting worldly gain.
Chapter 38 and 39
Who has the authority to tell you what is Halal and Haraam? Allah
Chapter 49
Part of Tawheed is to affirm the Names and Attributes of Allah
Chapter 41 to 45
The blessings of Allah, statements we say such as swearing by Allah, cursing time, etc affects our Tawheed. Our tongue should be purified from Shirk.
Chapter 46 and 47
Respecting the Names of Allah
Chapter 48
Whoever mocks Allah, the Quran, the Prophet ﷺ
Chapter 49 and 50
You can perform Riyaa even if you are alone in the desert, just by feeling amazed with yourself. You either attribute good to yourself, or believe that because Allah knows that you are good He gave you. The reality is that if Allah judged us with justice and not by His mercy, we will all be thrown into the Hellfire. This blemishes your Tawheed.
Attribute whatever you have to the Mercy of Allah. Our deeds are full of negligence, laziness, etc.
Chapter 51,52,53,54
We have to glorify the Names of Allah.
You cannot say, "O Allah forgive me if you wish". It is permissible to ask Allah for something saying, "If you know it is good for me"

Do not take Allah as an intercessor, He is the ultimate goal. He should not be used to reach anyone low. Everything you want is in the Hands of Allah, what more do you want?
