Tawhid

The Tawhid ( Arabic : monotheism, oneness) is the fundamental dogma of Islam , religion monotheistic. It is the belief in one god without mental representation. His term comes from the verb unify "Wahad (), which means to unify, make one or declare that it is the only one with this specificity in a more figurative sense.

The affirmation of the oneness of God (Allah tawhidou) is the first obligation of a Muslim when he utters the profession of faith ( shahada ): "I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship but God and Muhammad is the messenger of God. "

The tawhid opposes shirk or "sin of association," only sin that Allah does not forgive. It means that worship is exclusively devoted to Allah without any intermediary or partner ^{Different designs}

Viewpoint Salafi

In the Salafist the tawhid into three parts, this in order to make clear the `Aqeedah of which it owns a definition not common to other branches of Islam.

• The r-tawdu rubbiyya (uniqueness in his lordship): The Oneness of God as creator, master (owner) and director (manager) was created .
• The l-tawdu ulhiyya (unity in the worship): The dedication of all acts of worship to God alone in the tradition of the prophets Abraham .
• tawdu the l- i wa s asma-Sifat (uniqueness in his names and attributes): The acceptance and belief in God without attributes interpret them metaphorically or anthropomorphic .

These three branches of tawhid are grouped in one verse:

"He is Lord of heaven and earth and all that is between them. So worship, and persevere in His worship. Do you know of a namesake? " "

It may be noted that the Salafists are the only defining the Tawheed that way and are also the subject of criticism for that. However, even if the other streams do not adopt, they do not necessarily oppose it.
