The Fundamentals of Tawheed : Islamic Monotheism

The Fundamentals of Tawheed : Islamic Monotheism 

Tawheed, the belief in the Oneness of ALLAH, is the fundamental pillar of the Islamic faith. As vicegerents of ALLAH on earth, humans are commanded to embody this belief in every aspect of their lives. Without tawheed, our actions and worship would be meaningless. This is a sobering reality that we must acknowledge in order to correct our thoughts, words, and deeds, so we may earn the rewards we seek and avoid the severe punishment. Dr. Philips provides essential guidance on recognizing practices that contradict tawheed, enabling us to correct any misguided patterns of thought or behavior and approach ALLAH in the manner that pleases Him

Literally Tawhid means "unification" (making something one) or "asserting oneness," and it comes from the Arabic verb wahḥada which itself means to unite, unify, or consolidate.' However, when the term Tawhid is used in reference to Allah (i.e. Tawhidullah2), it means realizing and maintaining of Allah's unity in all of man's actions which directly or indirectly relate to Him. It is the belief that Allah is One, without partner in His dominion (Rububiyah), One without similitude in His essence and attributes (Asma' was-Sifat), and One without rival in His divinity and in worship (Uluhiyah / 'Ibadah). These three aspects form the basis for the categories into which the science of Tawhid has been traditionally divided. The three overlap and are inseparable to

2 The word tawhid does not actually occur in either the Qur'an or in the statements (Hadiths) of the Prophet (). However, when the Prophet sent Mu'adh ibn Jabal as governor of Yemen in 9 AH, he told him, "You will be going to Christians and Jews (Ahl al-Kitab), so the first thing you should invite them to is the assertation of the oneness of Allah (Yuwahḥidoo Allah)."
