Contents > Imaan and Tawheed > Monotheism

Al-Tawheed - You must believe Allah is One and Unique. He has no partner in His Essence, Names, Attributes, or Actions or right to be worshipped and obeyed exclusively. He is the Possessor of Almighty Power, Will, Knowledge, Life, Hearing, Sight, Speech, such that He is Almighty, and Wills,
Knows, Lives, Hears, Sees, and Speaks. Allah تعالى says,

“So know that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah.” al-Qur’an, Surah Muhammad, 47:19

And,

“There is no compulsion in the Deen, the right way has become distinct from the wrong way, so whoever rejects Taghoot (anything worshipped instead of Allah) and believes in Allah has grasped al-‘Urwatul Wuthqaa (the firmest handhold i.e. al-Tawheed).” al-Qur’an, Surah al-Baqarah, 2: 256

And,

‘There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the All Hearing, the All Seeing.’al-Qur’an, Surah al-Shura, 42: 11

And,

“And do not put forward any similitude for Allah. Indeed, Allah knows and you do not know.” al-Qur’an, Surah al-Nahl, 16: 74
