Surah Al- Ikhlas). Meanwhile, oneness or unity of Allah (tawhid) is the foundation stone of Islamic faith. Tawhid
(unity of God) means tha
none has the right to be worshipped except Allah. Tawhid(unity of God) also provides the basis upon which the
Islamic worldview is built. According to this worldview, Allah is the originator, Fosterer and sustainer of the
universe and He is the only power deserved to be worshipped. He is the only power that can really help and
guide us to the right path and righteous actions. Indeed, Tawhid(unity of God) also means the unity of the creation
which is testified by the harmony seen throughout the universe. It also teaches how a person should relate and
deal with others in the light of his relationship with Allah(swt).Finally, Tawhid can be categorized into three
namely; Tawhid al-Rububiyyah( unity of lordship), Tawhid al- Uluhiyyah(unity of worship) and Tawhid al-
‘Asma wa al-Sifat (unity of names and attributes of Allah).These three kinds of Tawhid are very interrelated; as
such, a Muslim should affirm all of them without denial any of them.In short, we can conclude that the concept
of God( Allah) and the unity of God(Tawhid) are very interrelated in Islamic worldview.
