And I have endeavored to mention the references from approved and pure books, but there are books in which the doctrine of the Ash'aris is established, or in their course there is a flaw in the creed, so it is necessary to draw attention that referencing does not mean acceptance of what is in them and submission to them, but rather the correct is taken, and what is other than it is left.

Perhaps the researcher finds chapters that he thinks are not related to Tawhid of worship at all, but in them are discussions and issues related to Tawhid, so do not hasten with blame, even in the issues of the chapter and its discussions, not in its title.

And from that, for example, is the chapter of (Arabian Peninsula). It may be thought that its inclusion is strange in a book like this; but in it are issues that necessitate its mention within the chapters of this book; as it relates to it, for example, the hadith: "Indeed Satan despaired that he be worshipped in the Arabian Peninsula."
وَحَدِيثُAnd the hadith::"أَخْرِجُوا"Expelالْيَهُودَthe Jewsوَالنَّصَارَىand the ChristiansمِنْfromجَزِيرَةِArabianالْعَرَبِPeninsula".."وَحَدِيثُAnd the hadith::"لَا"There will notيَبْقَىremainفِيهَاin itدِينَانِtwo religions".."
And the hadith: "Expel the Jews and the Christians from the Arabian Peninsula." And the hadith: "There will not remain in it two religions."

So we need to understand the meaning of "Satan despaired" and the sayings of the scholars in that, and we need to clarify the ruling of the existence of another religion in the Peninsula, and the ruling of bringing in disbelievers to this Peninsula.

And this, no doubt, has a relation with Tawhid, and the closest title to it is: Arabian Peninsula.

And from that is the chapter of (Waqf), as it is of the issues of Fiqh, but it has a relation with Tawhid from the aspect of the ruling of Waqf on building graves, and Waqf on lighting lamps on them, and what is similar to that.
