Answer:

Tawheed is the fundamental concept of Islamic monotheism, which means the absolute oneness of Allah. It is divided into three primary categories: 1. Tawheed Ar-Rububiyyah (Oneness of Lordship) - Believing that Allah is the sole creator, sustainer, and controller of everything - Recognizing that no one shares divine power with Allah 2. Tawheed Al-Uluhiyyah (Oneness of Worship) - Directing all forms of worship exclusively to Allah - Rejecting any form of worship directed to other than Allah - Ensuring complete devotion and submission to Allah alone 3. Tawheed Al-Asma was-Sifat (Oneness of Allah's Names and Attributes) - Affirming the perfect names and attributes of Allah as mentioned in the Quran - Believing in them without distortion, comparison, or negation The concept of Tawheed is the core of Islamic belief, distinguishing it from polytheistic beliefs and emphasizing the absolute unity of Allah.
