What Is Tawhid? The Oneness of Allah in Islam

Tawhid is the conviction that Allah is one. It is central to Islamic belief and the meaning of the Shahada.

Why it matters

Belief in one God shapes worship, prayer and the understanding of divine attributes in Islam.

How to study it

Start with the Shahada and Quran passages about the oneness of Allah, including Surah al-Ikhlas (Quran 112). More detailed theological discussions should be studied with appropriate context.

How does this belief shape worship?

Belief in the oneness of Allah shapes the direction and purpose of worship in Islam. It is closely connected to the first affirmation of the Shahada.

Where can a beginner read more?
