tawhid
God is one
Tawhid is the Islamic doctrine of the oneness of God—the fundamental principle that Allah is singular, unique, and indivisible.
It forms the theological core of Islam, rejecting polytheism and any division of the divine nature.
The concept encompasses God's oneness in lordship, worship, and attributes: Tawhid is the first pillar of Islamic faith.
Also spelled tawheed or tauhid. (Capitalized Tawhid is the same term in formal or titular use.)
