in tawhid, they are not considered a Muslim. It is the oneness of Allah.

THE IMPORTANCE OF TAWHID.

Tawhid is a main part of Islam and it is taught in the Quran, which is the word of Allah. And it comes from the

Shahadah(La ilaha ilalah- there is no God but Allah) If a Muslim does not believe in tawhid they will be punished in

the Akhirah. It reminds Muslims that all their actions should be done sincerely for the sake of Allah.

THE 3 TYPES OF TAWHID.

Tawhid Rububiyah is the oneness of Allah in Lordship. It is that Allah is the Lord.
