Tauhid
We know Allah through Tauhid, which means that we worship only Allah and don't assign partners to him (Shirk شرك).
The Three Aspects of Tawhid
1. Tawhid ar-Rububiyyah: Allah alone is the Lord
(Tawḥīd ar-Rubūbiyya توحيد الربوبية)
Allah alone is the Lord of everything, he is the giver of life and death and he controls everything.
2. Tawhid al-Uluhiyyah: We worship Allah alone without associating partners to him
(Tawḥīd al-ʾUlūhiyya توحيد الألوهية)
All types of worship like prayer, fasting, pilgrimage, supplication (Du'a دعاء) must be directed exclusively to Allah.
“And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.” (Surah 51:56)
3. Tawhid al-Asma wa Sifat: Believing in Allah's Names and Attributes
(Tawḥīd al-ʾAsmāʾ wa-ṣ-Ṣifāt توحيد الأسماء والصفات)
We believe in Allahs names and attributes exactly as he described himself in the Quran and Sunnah
“Vision does not perceive Him, but He perceives [all] vision.” (Surah 6:103)
