Link Building Tips

There are many ways of building links and I’ve created a detailed list of all my favourite methods below. But firstly, you’re probably wondering…
Why build links?

Here are my reasons:

Reason #1: Links help your search engine rankings

In the past, search engines would base their rankings on on-page factors, like keyword density and information in your meta-tags. Of course, this was extremely open to abuse by internet marketers and spam artists who all wanted their websites to be at the top of the search engines. People would ‘keyword stuff’ their pages by putting in piles of irrelevant words at the bottoms of their sites (sometimes in white text on a white background) just to get a higher ranking on lots of search terms.

Since the sites with genuine content often weren’t bothered with search engine optimization, they sunk to the bottom of the results pages. This all presented a bad experience for the poor users, who might search for “dog training” and end up at a porn site.

Now search engines, and in particular Google, look at the number and quality of links to your site in order to establish the importance and relevance of your site. Each link to your site is considered a “vote” for your page. Sites with more votes, particularly votes from highly trusted websites, will have a greater potential to rank highly in the search engines.

Links play another important role in your rankings: They help to determine which words you will rank for. If another site links to you using the anchor (link) text, “pumpkin pie recipe”, then they’re saying that your page is relevant to “pumpkin pie recipe”. You have one vote for “pumpkin pie recipe”. If you get a lot of links/votes that use “pumpkin pie recipe” then the search engines will think your page is very relevant to that topic, and you’ll find yourself ranking well for “pumpkin pie recipe”.

Reason #2: Links can bring you more traffic to your website

A lot of website owners are struck by what I call “search engine tunnel-vision” when they start optimizing their websites. If a link isn’t going to help their search engine ranking for one reason or another, they don’t want to know about it.

It pays to remember what your goal is, though: You’re trying to get more traffic to your page. If you can get a link from another site that will give you more traffic to your site (even if it doesn’t help your search engine rankings) then it’s a good link! In some ways it can even be better traffic, particularly if the other site is relevant to your site.

Here are some commonly asked questions about link-building:

Q: Should I have all my links pointing at my homepage, or should I get links to other parts of my site?

A: If you only ever had links to your home page it might look a little suspect to the search engines. Usually if you’ve got interesting content on your site, people will link directly to that content, not to your home page. So when you’re building your links, try to get a good percentage of them (about 30%+) pointing to your internal pages. This is known as “deep linking”.

Q: Are all links equal? Is there something that makes some links better than others?

A: Not all links are created equal. Higher quality links give more benefit than low quality links. Link quality is determined by four main factors:

1. The status and trust factor of the domain that is linking to you (e.g. cnn.com vs. some random directory site).
2. The visibility of the link on the webpage (i.e. Is the link at the top of the page? In the middle? At the bottom? Is it one of 3 links on the page? Or is it one of 75 links?)
3. The relevancy of the anchor text (e.g. ‘Dog Training’ vs. ‘Click Here’)
4. The location of the link in the site structure (i.e. does the link come from a home page, a prominent inner page, or a deeply nested, hidden page? Are the links to your website always pointing to the home page, or are they often linking deeper page?)

Where do you find high quality links?

There are many places to gather links from and I’ve created a detailed list of all my favourite methods below:

#1: Find out which sites are linking to your competitors’ websites.

In my books this is the first and most obvious place to start. Sites that are linking to your competitors are probably going to be interested in linking to you as well, (provided your site is as good as your competitors’ sites, of course!).

Use Traffic Travis’s Backlink Checker tool on the top-ranked sites for your keywords. See who is linking to them, and then contact these sites to see if they’re interested in recommending your site to their readers too. Perhaps the links come from directories, in which case you can submit your site as well. Perhaps the link isn’t free, and you have to sell out a little cash to get your site linked to. In any case, you know that these links are helping your competitors get the top ranked spots in the search engines, so chances are good that the links will help you too.

#2: Build or provide top-quality content

One of the best and most effective ways of getting links from another website is to create some unique, high-quality content. Not only will you attract links naturally from other sites, it also makes it a lot easier to ask for a link if you can provide some sort of benefit for the other site’s visitors.

You might also try offering to write a unique article for the other website in return for a credit or a link. That way you’re offering them something valuable, and you get a valuable backlink. This kind of link is good because you’ll probably be one of just a few links on the page.

#3: Social Media Link Building

There are a lot of different social media sites on the internet these days. These sites are great for both click-thru traffic and helping your search engine rankings. Some of my favourites are:

• Squidoo.com
• Hubpages.com
• Twitter.com
• Digg.com
• Del.icio.us
• Wikipedia (very good if you can get links from here)
• 43things.com

There are many, many more of these sites out there. They don’t all work in the same way, but they can all help.

With Squidoo, for instance, you can build a page full of information on your chosen topic. These pages are typically well-received by the search engines. You can earn money directly off your lens, or use it to point to your main site.

If you can create some interesting or timely content on your site and submit it to Digg, you might find yourself facing more traffic than you know how to handle when your site makes the front page.
With 43things you can tap into targeted niche markets full of people who want to do or learn something. Start up a blog on this site and join in conversations with other people, then watch the traffic begin to flow.

The key is to provide useful content to these places. Spamming social networking sites is usually a pretty bad idea.

One tool I really like is Twitter. Google loves Twitter as well, and if you set up a Twitter profile and begin “twittering” (posting mini-blogs or status updates) then you’ll find the Googlebot crawling all over it. This is great for getting your sites indexed in the search engines, or letting the search engines know when you add new content to your page or your other social networking sites. Just Twitter it, and they will come!

#4: Link building with blogs and feed directories

It’s a really good idea to submit your site to all relevant RSS feed and blog directories. It is a great way of getting more exposure.
Popular directories include:

• Technorati
• Google Blog Search
• Bloglines

#5: Building content to get links (Link baiting)

You could call this the “if you build it, they will come” method for building links. Simply create a good site with useful content, or an interesting tool, and people will naturally want to link to it.
If this seems like hard work, think about the amount of time and money you’ll spend buying or trading links. What if you could put that time and money into building a tool, and then got all your links for free?

Content that is created purely to attract links is often called “link bait”. Here’s a list of types of “link bait” from Wikipedia:

• Informational hooks – Provide information that a reader may find very useful. Some rare tips and tricks or any personal experience through which readers can benefit.
• News hooks – Provide fresh information and garner citations and links as the news spreads.
• Humor hooks – Tell a funny story or a joke. A bizarre picture of your subject or mocking cartoons can also prove to be link bait.
• Evil hooks – Saying something unpopular or mean may also yield a lot of attention. Writing about something that is not appealing about a product or a popular blogger. Provide strong reasons for it.
• Tool hooks – Create some sort of tool that is useful enough that people link to it.
• Widgets hooks – A badge or tool, that can be placed or embedded on other websites, with a link included.

Don’t underestimate this method, it’s a VERY good way of gaining one-way links.

#6: Directory submissions

Submitting your site to directories is an easy way of getting links. The links aren’t usually very good quality, but it’s a good place to start.

How to submit to directories:

You can pay someone to submit your site to 100+ directories (manually) for as little as $15 if you use a source such as Submit2Edge.com, or do it yourself with Directory Submitter Gold. This software drastically streamlines what can be a very tedious process, and I highly recommend it.
The reason you need to do it manually (as opposed to using the automatic submission services and software that you’ll see around) is because most good directories won’t accept automatic submissions.

What to write in your directory listings:

Keep in mind that it’s the anchor text that matters for your search engine rankings, and that directories will usually create the anchor text out of whatever you give as your website name or title. So if I wanted to add my SitStayFetch dog training website to a directory, I might submit the following:

Directories often ask that you don’t just list a bunch of keywords as your title, since it’s not particularly meaningful. In this example I’ve managed to work my “dog training” keyword into the title, but I’ve also included my product name so that it doesn’t look spammy.
I recommend that you vary your directory submission anchor text a little to make it seem natural to the search engines. I also recommend that you use your keywords in the title field as naturally as you can — Don’t just stuff your titles with keywords!

How much does it cost to submit to a directory?

It varies. Some are free, some require a small payment, some require a large payment, and others ask that you include a reciprocal link. I don’t really recommend going with reciprocal linking directories (you don’t get as much benefit as a one-way link, and if the directory engages in behaviour the search engines deem to be “unseemly”, you might end up getting penalized by association), but some of the most valuable directories require payment and (if you can afford it) can be very good investments if you’re going after some particularly competitive search terms.

Here are some of my favorites:

• Yahoo.com—$299/year, but many sites I submit to Yahoo end up getting top-3 results in Yahoo over time.
• Business.com—$199/year
• ExactSeek.com—$12 you can get a top 10 listing.
• Dmoz.org (free) — DMOZ is in an open content directory project that organizes Website listings across the Internet. Its name derives form directory.mozilla.org, which was once its original URL. The directory is maintained by volunteer editors and serves directories of the leading search engines, including Google, Yahoo! Overture, Alexa and more who use its titles, descriptions and category metadata.
• Stpt.com—$99 submission, another good directory to be linked from.

If this looks expensive, don’t worry — there are many free directories you can submit to as well. Even if you just stick with the free sites, you’ll still get a lot of backlinks. Often it isn’t really necessary to fork out for paid directory links when you’re going after less competitive terms. (For instance, if I tried to tackle “dog training” head-on, it’s pretty competitive. If I step sideways and go after “how to train a German Shepherd”, however, I would find it much easier to rank highly.)

#7: Article Writing & Submission

Article sites like ezinearticles.com are another good place to get backlinks. You can submit your own articles to these directories, with links either inside your article or at the bottom of the article in what’s called an “author box” or a “bio box”.

Not only do you get one backlink then and there from the article directory itself, these sites are also places where website owners come to find free content for their own sites. The website owners can take your article from the article site and publish it on their own site, so long as they keep your bio box (and all its links) intact.

What does this mean for you?
It means that by submitting one article to an article directory, you could end up getting hundreds of backlinks when your article is picked up by other websites.

IMPORTANT: Write quality articles!

It’s important that you write relevant, good-quality articles for these directories. Firstly, the article site moderators might reject your article outright if it’s particularly poor. Secondly, other webmasters won’t use your article if it’s terrible, so you won’t get many backlinks. Thirdly, by creating good, unique content, you give your article a chance for ranking highly in the search engines. Yes that’s right…. your article can be picked up by the search engines. You might even find that it outranks your real site! This is great because people will click through to your site from the article, but only if they’re interested in what you have to say — another reason to write good, interesting articles!

There are hundreds of article sites out there, here are some of my favorites:

• www.goarticles.com
• www.ezinearticles.com
• www.articlecity.com
• http://www.thewhir.com/find/articlecentral/suggest.asp
• www.amazines.com
• http://www.netterweb.com/articles
• http://www.articleinsider.com

I strongly recommend that you submit your articles to these article sites manually with a tool like Article Submitter (which also comes with hundreds of article sites pre-loaded, so you just have to plug in your article and go), or pay someone like Submit2Edge to submit them for you.
Much like with directory submissions, automated software might not work very well because many article directories block these tools. (Article Submitter isn’t an automated software… it just streamlines the process!)

#8: Local Link Opportunities

Submitting your site to any relevant local directories can provide valuable links and may help you to rank higher in regional searches.
For example, if your business is located in New Zealand, you should submit your site to http://www.nzs.co.nz

Or if you are in the US, you might submit your site to your local Chambers of Commerce, or to the Better Business Bureau.

#9 Link brokers and purchasing links

It is possible to rent links from other websites, but be careful: Google is starting to clamp down on people caught buying links. The red flag is often raised when you rent a link for a period, and then your link disappears when you stop renting it.

I personally prefer to purchase permanent one-way links rather than renting.
You might also try this new angle on link purchasing: Paying a blogger to write about your product or website. This can be a great way to get relevant links. Sites like ReviewMe can arrange these deals for you.

You may come across link brokers at forums.digitalpoint.com, or sites like www.textlinkbrokers.com. Even if brokers don’t explicitly offer permanent one-way links, you can often negotiate something.

#10 Forum & community links

Interacting in public forums and communities can be a great way to get links to your site. Many people engaging in forums and blogs will post links to their website in their footer or profile. So long as you’re contributing to the community in a positive way and not just spamming… these links are usually well tolerated.

Unfortunately these links aren’t the best for improving your search rankings. Many sites implement “nofollow” tags on their links, which effectively blocks the search engine spiders from counting the link as a vote, or passing on PR. (Note that this is true for Google, but other search engines might not pay much attention to “nofollow” tags, so the links might still help your rankings in those search engines.)

The real benefit with forums and communities lies in getting targeted traffic actually clicking through on your links. If you’re a genuine contributor to the community, people will be interested in what else you have to say. You might find that this offers your business a bigger boost than slogging away on your search engine optimization.

#11 Press releases

If you have something very newsworthy going on on your website, then you may wish to consider submitting a press release about it. If it gets picked up by major news organizations like cnn.com, this can be a very powerful source of links and visitors.

#12 Donations to charity

Some charity websites have extremely high PR in Google, and many of them will give you a link from their home page or another high PR page in exchange for a generous donation.

#13 Social media and Web 2.0 links

We’ll look at this strategy in more detail tomorrow, but in short you can gain a large number of links from sites like www.squidoo.com, simply by setting up your own presence there and linking back to your main site. As with most things, you need to create some good quality content for your Squidoo (or similar) site, but this can be a very powerful tactic since these sites are often highly regarded by the search engines.

#14 Private blog and article networks

I really like this method of gaining high quality relevant links because you have the ability to access sites and links that very few of your competitors will bother with.

There are some good quality blog networks out there: Portal Feeder, for instance, has over 50 blogs in its Blog Network. If you’re a Portal Feeder member you can write a relevant blog post and submit it to the appropriate blog(s) in their network. You can get some really good backlinks to your site through these posts. It’s a particularly good way of getting deep links to your content.

#15 Blog/article networks that I recommend:

• PLR Pro—A private label article site that also comes with a blog network.
• PortalFeeder—A site packed full of tools to help you gain higher search engine rankings.
• Article Underground—Another private label article site that comes with a great blog network. (I actually don’t use the articles in this site and feel that their blog network is more the value here.)
• Linkvana
• Unique Article Wizard—I’ve only just recently started using this resource and it seems to be producing great benefits.

Making money with Google Adsense is one of the easiest ways to make money online. You don’t have to own any products. All you have to do is to setup websites, learn how to drive targeted traffic, and you can start making money almost instantly.

What exactly is Google Adsense? Google Adsense is Google’s Pay Per Click (PPC) publisher program. Advertisers use the Adwords program to promote their websites. They create Ads in the Adwords program. These ads are then displayed across the partner network. The partners are publishers who are participating in the Adsense program.

To join the Adsense program, you need to be the owner of at least one website. Your website should be content driven. You will join the program as a publisher and once accepted, you will be able to copy and paste some code snippets into your website. Ads will start to display shortly. Whenever someone visits your website and clicks on an ad, you get paid a portion of the advertising revenue.

So how can you become a successful Adsense publisher? Here are some tips and tricks.

Tip 1: Learn how to drive targeted traffic.
You must learn how to drive targeted traffic. Don’t just drive traffic from any source. If the traffic doesn’t convert well for the advertisers, your Adsense account may be terminated. Targeted traffic includes traffic from forums, communities, blogs, and search engines. As long as the traffic has been pre-qualified, you have a higher chance of success.

Tip 2: Increase click through rate by using blue links.
When the Internet first started, links are blue by default. So most people recognize blue underlined text as links. Just by using blue links, you can increase click through rate by as much as 5%. Remember, you don’t get paid when a visitor lands on your website. You only get paid if the visitor clicks on an Ad. So don’t be shy about implementing anything that helps to improve CTR.

Tip 3: Place your ads in a highly visible area.
Don’t hide your ads at the bottom of your posts if you want to increase your CTR. Place the ads above the fold. If possible, place them right in the middle of the content so that you are sure the web visitors won’t miss the ad. If they decide not to click, that’s fine. As long as the ads are visible, you will get a reasonable CTR.

Tip 4: Write expert articles.
Don’t publish low quality content. Your content must generate value for the site visitor. For instance, you can write reviews about the products in the niche that you are targeting. Reviews will help potential customers make buying decisions quickly. That’s great for the advertisers because advertisers always want traffic that can convert well. Besides, you always get higher search engine rankings if you can write good articles.

Tip 5: Obey all the rules.
Be sure to read the Adsense program policies and obey all the rules. The rules state that you cannot click on your own ads. So make sure that you don’t do that!

Google adsense can be a good source of online income. Tweak your adsense ads color and placement, and keep track of the click conversion. Host your adsense website with justhost hosting, and use the Justhost Coupon for discount. The best justhost coupon found at our Justhost Review blogging site.

To busy to update my seo mini course with traffictravis, now I’m posting part 2 of the mini course. If you would like to try traffictravis you can get it for free here.

Welcome to part 2 of the 5-part Traffic Travis Search Engine Optimization Mini-Course. Just a reminder, in this course we are covering:

• Part 1. The 6 critically essential on-the-page SEO factors
• Part 2. The 4 critically essential off-the-page SEO factors
• Part 3. Link building tips
• Part 4. Web 2.0 SEO secrets
• Part 5. How to boost your conversion rates (Ranking highly is not enough, here’s how to convert your visitors into sales!)

Today we’re looking at Part 2…

Part 2: The 4 Critically Essential Off-The-Page Search Engine Optimization Factors

In our last lesson we talked about the things you can do on your website to help it rank well in the search engines — in other words, the “on the page” factors. In this lesson we’re going to talk about the external factors that can influence your rankings — the “off the page” factors.

Your Google PageRank

Before we get into the “hows”, it’s important that you understand a little bit about Google’s PageRank. PageRank is Google’s way of indexing all content and websites based on importance in the internet community. It’s an important factor in Google’s ranking algorithm, and by understanding a little of how it works, you’ll have a better idea about how to boost your rankings in the world’s most popular search engine.

To establish the “importance” of your page, Google looks at how many other websites are linking to your page. These links are like “votes”, and the more “votes” you have, the greater your online “importance” and the higher your PageRank.

And higher PageRank is an important contributor to higher search engine rankings.

It’s not as democratic as it sounds, however: Not every page that links to you is given equal “voting power”. Pages that have a high PageRank have more voting power than pages with low PageRank. This means that the “boost” a link gives to your own PageRank is closely related to the PageRank of the site that’s linking to you.

For instance… receiving just ONE link from a PR5 page might well give you more benefit than receiving 20 links from PR0 pages. It’s quality not quantity that’s important.

The equation for working out how much PR value you’ll get from a link looks something like this:

• PR = 0.15 + 0.85 x (your share of the link PR)
• By “your share of the link PR” I mean that every site only has a certain amount of PR “juice” to give out. Let’s say a page has 100 votes. Lets say it has 20 outgoing links on that page. Then each link is sending 5 votes to the other site. (100 / 20 = 5) That is a simple way of looking at the share of the PR of the link. In reality the higher-placed links get higher voting power, (e.g. 10 votes each) while the lower-placed ones will get less, (e.g. 2 votes each).

There are many other factors at play that determine the PageRank of a page:

1. The amount of PageRank flowing in to your page. PageRank can come from other sites linking to your page, but also from other pages on your website linking to your page.
2. Your internal linking: As I just mentioned, PageRank can also come from other pages on your website, trickling from one page to another through your internal linking, menus and such. The trick is to “sculpt” the flow of your PageRank so that it “pools” in your most important pages. (In other words, don’t waste your PageRank by linking to your “contact us” page and site-map all over the show… add rel=”nofollow” to those links to stop the PageRank leaking through to them.)
3. The number of pages in your website: the more pages your website has, the higher your PageRank will be.
4. The number of external sites you link to. Again, think of PageRank as being something that “flows”. By linking to lots of other websites you’re letting your PageRank flow out of your page, rather than allowing it to pool. Try to have reciprocal links wherever possible, so that the PageRank flows back to you.

The best piece of advice is to keep these points in mind when building your site and try to avoid any on-page factors which might be detrimental to the “flow” of your PageRank through your site. Once you’ve done that, work on getting quality links from quality websites. The easiest way to do this is to fill your website with useful, relevant information that makes people want to link to you!

And remember: PageRank is just part of Google’s ranking algorithm. You’ll often see pages with high PageRank being outranked by pages with lower PageRank, which shows that there’s much more at play here!

#1: Build lots of 1-way incoming links

Do this through article submissions, directory submissions, submitting articles to blog networks (such as the PLRPro blog network), buying links (e.g. from digital point forums), and so on.
But be careful…

Purchased links can sometimes be more powerful than links you get by more natural methods… but Google will penalize you if they know that you are buying links. One way they’ll nab you is if you buy a link on a monthly lease and then end up canceling it. One link might not be enough to send up the red flags, but some people buy and cancel hundreds of links in this manner.
A better idea is to buy lifetime links from places like forums.digitalpoint.com, and to try to find links from websites that are on topics relevant to your own.

#2: Get some links from good sites

By “good sites” I mean websites that have a high PageRank, or sites with a high “trust” factor (such as Yahoo, Dmoz or sites with a .edu suffix. If you can get good links to the pages on your site that generate the most income for you, even better — if you can improve the ranking of these pages you’ll get more traffic, more conversions, and more money!

#3: Make sure that pages you gain links from are, in fact, indexed.

A link to your site won’t count for anything if the page that is linking to you hasn’t actually been indexed by the search engines. The search engines won’t see the link, and they won’t give you any credit for it. I see a lot of people submitting their sites to article directories and search directories, and then ending up on a page that the search engines don’t visit. This is pointless!

The good news is that it’s pretty simple to get all these pages indexed. All you have to do is let the search engines know about the page yourself. To do this you need to set up a webpage outside of your main site, such as a free blog or a Twitter.com profile. Make sure that the search engines are indexing this page, of course, and then every time you get a new link to your main site, write about it in your blog or Twitter profile! The search engines will see this and visit the other site — hey presto! The page is now indexed, and you’ll get credit for your link.

Important: Don’t link to this blog or Twitter profile from your main money website. Doing this will create a reciprocal link loop…

#4: Don’t loop your links

Reciprocal links aren’t as powerful as one-way links. This is why you want to receive one-way links from other websites whereever possible.

But there are also things called “reciprocal link loops” which are like bigger versions of this. I mentioned one in the last tip… A links to B, B links to C and C links to A. That’s a loop… it eventually comes full circle back to the first site. A “link loop” can get pretty large, but if it eventually ends up back at the start, it’s still a loop, and all links within the loop become less powerful. Small loops are the worst, but try to avoid loops wherever possible.

That brings us to the end of our critical off-page factors for search engine optimization. In part three of this five-part mini-course I’ll talk link building strategies: Keep an eye out for it!

Panel Penyelidikan Yayasan Sofa telah mengeluarkan artikel terbaru di Utusan Malaysia dalam mengupas isu kekeliruan pemahaman Tauhid Rububiah dan Uluhiah. Aku dah membacanya, seperti mana komen aku kat blog Dr. Asmadi mengenai isu ini, aku tersangat-sangatlah tidak bersetuju dengan pengajaran Tauhid 3 ni.

Sejak dari sekolah menengah lagi aku dah keliru gile ngn konsep tauhid tiga, manakan tidak, orang musyrik yang menyembah berhala tu pon dikatakan bertauhid, sendangkan pengertian tauhid itu sendiri adalah untuk mengesakan Zat, Sifat, Asma’ dan Af’al Allah, dan orang musyrik yang menyembah berbilangg-bilang berbahagi-bahagi tuhan dikatakan bertauhid dengan tauhid rububiah?

Seolah-oleh mereka beriman kepada Allah dan mengakui Allah tetapi dalam masa yang sama mereka meyembah tuhan selain Allah dalam erti kata lain beriman tetapi bersyirik.

Didalam masalah keiman terhadap Allah tiada kompromi, dan dibawah ini aku sertakan artikel tersebut yang dicopy pastekan dari Utusan Malaysia

Dalil sanggah beza tauhid uluhiah dan rububiah

MENYAMBUNG persoalan minggu lepas tentang tauhid uluhiah dan rububiah yang dibezakan oleh pereka tauhid ini, adakah terdapat perbezaan di antara kedua-duanya? Maka minggu ini kami memaparkan pula dalil aqal dan naqal yang menafikan sama sekali perbezaan ini.

Kami tegaskan sekali lagi, bahawa dengan membezakan di antara kedua-dua tauhid ini, mereka menganggap orang musyrik sebagai ahli tauhid dengan tauhid rububiah.

Dalam erti kata lain, melalui konsep tauhid rekaan Ibnu Taimiyyah ini, orang musyrik atau orang yang tidak mengucapkan kalimah syahadah dianggap sebagai ahli tauhid atau orang yang mengesakan Allah.
Ini kerana, kononnya mereka percaya dan mengakui bahawa Allah yang mencipta segala sesuatu dan mentadbir segala urusan alam ini, tetapi mereka tidak bertauhid dengan tauhid uluhiah kerana menyekutukan Allah dalam sembahannya.

Maknanya juga, dalam satu masa seseorang itu boleh dikira sebagai ahli tauhid dan musyrik. Inilah salah satu kepincangan tauhid ini yang mendapat sanggahan yang hebat daripada ulama Ahli Sunnah.
Sebagai menjelaskan lagi kepincangan dan kebatilan tauhid ini, marilah sama-sama kita merujuk kepada dalil-dalil ulama dari sudut akal dan naqal.

Dari sudut aqal
Sekiranya orang-orang musyrik termasuk di dalam golongan ahli tauhid rububiah (sebagaimana yang mereka percayai), bermakna mereka ini beriktikad dengan iktikad yang jazam (teguh dan tidak berbelah bahagi).

Dengan iktikad ini, sudah pasti mereka tidak akan meragui bahawa Allah itu Esa pada ciptaan, kekuasaan, pentadbiran, takdir dan perbuatan-Nya serta dalam mendatangkan suatu kesan sama ada manfaat atau pun mudarat, yang kesemuanya ini adalah komponen bagi tauhid rububiah.
Jika inilah keadaannya, bolehkah diterima akal, dengan iktikad sedemikian mereka boleh pula mengambil tuhan selain Allah untuk disembah, sedangkan tuhan yang lain itu tidak berkuasa mendatangkan sebarang manfaat atau mudarat kepada mereka?

Orang-orang musyrik pada setiap zaman dan tempat menyembah pelbagai sembahan selain Allah. Mereka mempercayai bahawa sembahan-sembahan mereka itu boleh melakukan sesuatu perbuatan, mendatangkan kesan, manfaat dan mudarat.

Boleh mendekatkan mereka kepada Allah, boleh mendatangkan sesuatu kebaikan bagi setiap orang yang datang meminta pertolongan kepada tuhan-tuhan mereka dan boleh mendatangkan mudarat kepada setiap orang yang berpaling daripadanya.

Semua kepercayaan ini menafikan tauhid rububiah.

Dari sudut naqal
Nas-nas syariat telah menetapkan secara jelas, terang dan qatie (pasti) bahawa orang-orang musyrik pada setiap masa dan tempat tidak akan mampu bertauhid dengan tauhid rububiah semata-mata dan menafikan uluhiah, tetapi mereka semua adalah orang-orang musyrik pada uluhiah dan rububiah sekali gus kerana kedua-duanya adalah perkara yang satu.

Sebagai contoh, kami sebutkan di sini dalil-dalilnya:
1. Firman Allah SWT dalam menceritakan tentang orang-orang musyrik ketika ditanya tentang rahsia sebenar mereka menyembah berhala selain Allah: Tidaklah kami (orang musyrik) menyembah atau memuja mereka (sembahan-sembahan mereka), melainkan supaya mereka mendampingkan kami kepada Allah dengan sedamping-dampingnya. (al-Zumar: 3)

Ayat ini jelas menunjukkan, orang-orang kafir beriktikad bahawa patung-patung mereka mempunyai kekuasaan untuk memberikan hidayah kepada mereka dan mendekatkan diri mereka kepada Allah. Maksudnya sembahan mereka itu mampu memberi kesan dengan sendirinya.
Maka di manakah letaknya tauhid mereka bagi tauhid rububiah?!.

2. Nabi Hud a.s ketika berdialog dengan orang musyrikin tentang patung-patung sembahan mereka dan ketika diterangkan kepada mereka bahawa sembahan mereka itu tidak berkuasa untuk mendatangkan sesuatu kepada mereka melainkan Allah, mereka berkata: Kami hanya boleh berkata bahawa setengah daripada tuhan-tuhan kami telah mengenakanmu sesuatu penyakit gila (disebabkan engkau selalu mencaci penyembahan kami itu). (Hud: 54)

Kepercayaan bahawa sembahan-sembahan mereka boleh mendatangkan kesan yang buruk, jelas menunjukkan bahawa orang musyrik mempercayai pada sembahan-sembahan mereka ada kekuasaan yang boleh melakukan sesuatu perbuatan dan mendatangkan kesan mudarat atau manfaat.
Ini menunjukkan bahawa orang musyrikin tidakpun mengesakan Allah pada rububiah tetapi menyekutukan Allah dengan tuhan-tuhan yang lain pada tauhid uluhiah. Iktikad mereka ini ternyata berbeza dengan apa yang dipercayai oleh pendokong bidaah pembahagian tauhid.

3. Allah SWT berfirman: Tidakkah engkau pelik memikirkan (wahai Muhammad) tentang orang yang berhujah membantah Nabi Ibrahim (dengan sombongnya) mengenai tuhannya (Rabb) kerana Allah memberikan orang itu kuasa pemerintahan? Ketika Nabi Ibrahim berkata: Tuhanku (Rabbi) ialah Yang Menghidupkan dan Yang Mematikan. Ia (Namrud) menjawab: Aku juga boleh menghidupkan dan mematikan. (al-Baqarah: 258)

Berdasarkan ayat di atas jelas dapat dilihat, Namrud telah mendakwa dirinya dengan perkara yang berkaitan tentang rububiah seperti mempunyai kerajaan, kekuasaan dan pemerintahan.
Dia juga mempercayai mempunyai keistimewaan rububiah yang boleh menghidupkan dan mematikan. Kemudian selepas itu, dia berdebat dengan Nabi Ibrahim a.s tentang Rabbnya (tuhan yang menjadikan) dan bukan tentang Ilahnya (tuhan yang disembah) sebagaimana penggunaan istilah dalam ayat tersebut.
Adakah selepas penjelasan ini, masih ada yang mendakwa: Sesungguhnya Namrud adalah ahli tauhid dengan tauhid rububiah dan Nabi Ibrahim a.s telah datang kepadanya untuk mengajak kepada tauhid uluhiah sahaja?

4. Allah SWT telah berfirman dalam menceritakan tentang Nabi Yusuf a.s yang mengajak sahabat-sahabat sepenjaranya kepada akidah tauhid yang suci:
Wahai sahabat sepenjaraku berdua! Memuja dan menyembah berbilang-bilang tuhan (Arbaab – jama’ kepada Rabb) yang bercerai-berai itukah yang lebih baik atau menyembah Allah Tuhan yang Maha Esa lagi Maha Berkuasa? (Yusuf: 39)

Marilah bersama saya memerhatikan perkataan Nabi Yusof a.s ketika mempersoalkan tentang Tuhan yang lebih baik disembah: “Adakah Tuhan-tuhan (Arbab) yang bercerai-berai. Beliau tidak berkata: “Tuhan-tuhan (Aalihah – jamak kepada Ilah).”

Adalah jelas bahawa penghuni penjara menyembah lebih daripada satu Rabb dan lebih daripada satu Ilah.
Adakah masih boleh diterima oleh akal yang sejahtera, jika dikatakan: Orang-orang musyrikin bertauhid dengan tauhid rububiah dan Nabi Yusuf datang kepada mereka dengan membawa tauhid uluhiah sahaja? Maha Suci Allah, ini adalah suatu pembohongan yang besar!.

5. Allah SWT berfirman menceritakan tentang Firaun yang berkata ketika menakut-nakutkan kaumnya agar mereka mentaatinya. Firaun berkata: Akulah tuhan kamu (Rabbukum) yang tertinggi. (al-Naazi’aat: 24)

Demikianlah dakwaan rububiah Firaun bagi dirinya dan dia cuba mengagamakan kaumnya dengan rububiah ini. Maka dari sini, tidakkah ada langsung sebesar zarah perasaan salah bagi mereka yang mendakwa bahawa Firaun dan kaumnya bertauhid dengan tauhid rububiah dan telah datang kepada mereka Musa Kalimullah a.s dengan tauhid uluhiah sahaja?

Di ketika yang lain, Firaun juga mendakwa uluhiah bagi dirinya ketika dia berkata: Wahai orang-orangku, aku tidak mengetahui adanya bagi kamu sebarang tuhan (ilah) selain daripadaku. (al-Qasas: 38)
Ini menunjukkan bahawa tidak ada perbezaan di antara rububiah dan uluhiah. Oleh kerana itu, sesiapa yang mendakwa dirinya dengan rububiah, maka dia telah menjadikan dirinya Ilah (sebagai tuhan yang patut disembah).

Sesiapa yang mendakwa dirinya dengan uluhiah pula, maka dia telah menjadikan dirinya sebagai Rabb (tuhan yang menciptakan, mentadbir dan sebagainya) bagi orang lain.

6. Mayat-mayat yang berada di dalam kubur, masing-masing tidak ditanya tentang uluhiah dan tauhidnya, tetapi malaikat akan bertanya kepadanya: Man Rabbuka? (Siapakah rab (tuhan) kamu?”
Sekiranya tauhid itu seperti yang dipercayai oleh Ibnu Taimiyyah, yang mana semua manusia di sisinya beriktikad dengan tauhid rububiah, kenapakah soalan malaikat ini masih diperlukan dan bermanfaat?
Ini menunjukkan bahawa dakwaan Ibnu Taimiyyah adalah tidak benar dan palsu semata-mata.

Kesimpulannya, orang yang syirik pada uluhiahnya dikira sebagai syirik pada rububiahnya juga. Sesiapa yang syirik pada rububiah maka dia juga adalah syirik pada uluhiah.

Minggu hadapan kami akan mengemukakan dalil-dalil mereka dan jawapan ulama tentang kesamaran dakwaan mereka. Benarlah perumpamaan Quraniy bahawa, sesungguhnya rumah yang paling rapuh ialah rumah labah-labah. (al-Ankabut: 41). Wallahu a’lam.

Seorang sahabat Nabi s.a.w bernama Anas b. Malik telah meriwayatkan satu hadis Nabi s.a.w yg menceritakan mengenai pertanyaan-pertanya an iblis kepada Allah s.w.t tentang banyak perkara.

1. Iblis bertanya kepada Allah s.w.t: ” Ya Tuhanku! Engkau telah memberikan kepada anak Adam itu tempat tinggal, iaitu rumah untuk berzikir kepadaMu.Tunjukkanl ah kepadaku tempat kediamanku.” Firman Allah s.w.t yang bermaksud: “Wahai iblis! tempat kediamanmu ialah bilik air(tandas). “

2. Iblis berkata:”Ya Tuhanku! Engkau telah memberikan kepada anak adam itu tempat mereka berkumpul (masjid,surau) , dimanakah tempat bagiku berkumpul?.” Firman Allah s.w.t yg bermaksud: “Wahai iblis! tempatmu berkumpul ialah di pasar-pasar, tampat-tempat hiburan ( pusat membelibelah, kelab malam, pesta-pesta, majlis maksiat) dan sebagainya.”

3. Iblis berkata lagi:”Ya Tuhanku! Engkau telah memberikan mereka anak Adam itu kitab untuk mereka membacanya. Tunjukkanlah padaku apakah bahan bacaanku?” Firman Allah s.w.t yang bermaksud:” Wahai Iblis, bahan bacaanmu ialah syair (sajak/lagu/ puisi yang melalaikan manusia dari mengingati Tuhan).

4. Iblis berkata:”Wahai Tuhanku! Engkau telah memberikan mereka cerita-cerita (kata-kata benar), apakah cerita-cerita bagiku?”. Firman Allah s.w.t yang bermaksud: ” cerita-cerita bagimu adalah kata-kata dusta ( bohong atau yng berkaitan dengannya)”

5. Iblis bertanya lagi: “Wahai Tuhanku! Engkau telah memberikan azan kepada anak Adam untuk mengajak atau mengumpulkan orang datang bersembahyang berjemaah, apakah azanku untuk mengumpul orang?”. Firman Allah s.w.t yang bermaksud: “wahai iblis, azan untuk mu ialah seruling.”

6. Tanya iblis lagi:”Ya Tuhanku! Engkau telah mengutus para utusanmu (para nabi dan rasul) kepada anak Adam, siapakah yang menjadi utusan bagiku?”. Firman Allah s.w.t yang bermaksud:” Wahai iblis para utusanmu ialah terdiri dari dukun (peramal nasib), ataupun yang lebihkurang sama dengannya.”

7. Kata iblis:”Ya Tuhanku! Engkau telah berikan kitab bertulis (ayat-ayat Al Quran)kepada anak Adam. Apakah tulisanbagiku? .” Firman Allah s.w.t yang bermaksud:”wahai iblis, tulisanmu adalah tulisan gincu yang palsu dibadan, (seperti gincu,tatu, tahilalat yang diada-adakan dan yang lebih kurang sama dengannya)

8. kata iblis:”Wahai Tuhanku! Engkau telah memberikankepada anak Adam itu perangkap-perangkap . Apakah perangkap bagiku?.” Allah s.w.t berfirman yang bermaksud:”wahai iblis, perangkap untukmu ialah wanita-wanita. “

9. Kata iblis:”Wahai Tuhanku! Engkau telah memberikan makanan kepada anak-anak Adam (yang disebutkan namaMu), apakah makanan untukku?.”Firman Allah s.w.t yang bermaksud: “wahai iblis, makanan untukmu ialah sesuatu yang tidak disebutnama Allah.”

10. Kata iblis:”Wahai Tuhanku! Engkau telah memberikan minuman kepada anak-anak Adam, apakah minuman untukku?” Firman Allah s.w.t yang bermaksud:” Wahai iblis, minuman untukmu ialah sesuatu yang memabukkan dan yang tidak dimulakan denhan nama Allah.”
