1- Introduction
Allah has created human beings, bestowed with discernment, provided knowledge about His existence and creation and gave them clear hints for the veracity of His words. Even that many people are still heedless and deny the concept of Tawheed. Tawheed/ Monotheism/ Unity of God is the fundamental believe of Islam. This prescribes that Allah is only one God and He does not share, His authorities with human beings or other creatures. Every Muslim believes that there is only one God who is sole sustainer and creator of the universe. Allah is self-sufficient so no one is His companion, partner or helper. Islam condemns the concept of Polytheism and Atheism. Almost all religions, revealed or unrevealed, accept that there is someone who has created this universe but they seek partners with Him. In Christianity there is concept of Trinity; God the father, God the son and God the Holy Ghost. In Hinduism there are many gods and goddesses.
But In Islam it is unpardonable sin. While whole Quran revolve around a single theme_______ Oneness of God.

2- According to the Quran

In the Holy Quran Almighty Allah says:
“Say: He is the God,
The one and only,
God, the Eternal, Absolute,
He begotten not, nor is He begotten,
And there is none like unto Him.”

3-Significance of Tawheed in Quran and Islam:
The religion of Islam is based on one core of belief; there is no god worthy of worship but Allah. When a person embraces Islam or a Muslim wants to renew his or her faith they profess their belief that;
“There is no god but Allah and Muhammad (P.B.U.H) is His Prophet”. The Quran urges us to look at wonders of creation and understand Allah’s power and greatness:
“And I have created not the jinn and humankind except they should worship Me (alone)”.
In order to explain the complexity of Unity of God and of the divine nature, the Quran uses ninety nine terms referred to an “Excellent Names of Allah” (7:150). Aside from the supreme “Allah” and “Al-Rehman” (referring to the divine beneficence that created and maintains the universe), other names may be shared by both Allah and human beings. The later is meant to serve as reminder of Allah’s immanence rather than being a sign of one’s divinity or alternatively imposing a limitation God’s transcendent nature. According to the Islamic teachings attributions of divinity to a created entity, shirk, is considered as a denial of the Word of Allah and thus a major and unpardonable sin. Quran commands us to reject anything that is worshipped instead of, or along with Allah.
4-Effects of Tawheed in the life of common man:
The concept of Tawheed has profound effects in the life of common man. He knows that there is one Allah who is omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient and this thing restrains him from evil or shameful deeds.
a- Firmness upon religion:
Excellence in this world and salvation in the hereafter is built upon Tawheed. Because a Muslim knows what Allah loves and is pleased with or angered and displeased with, he will rush to fulfill what He loves and what He hates.
b- Reliance on Allah:
At the time of adversity he does not call other human beings or other gods for his help. A true Muslim has trust on Allah that He will solve his problems or make resources for his convenience. In Quran Allah says: “And enough is Allah as a disposer of affairs” and verses of Quran make him sanguine even in hardships.
c- Tolerance and fraternity:
Every Muslim knows that Allah does not like cruelty and tyrannical acts. So he tries to develop fraternal relations with his relatives, neighbor and other Muslims. He knows that Allah loves His creatures so he dares not to hurt human beings either by hand or tongue. Thus Tawheed give a tolerant and compassionate system.
5-Polythism and Atheism:
Islam condemns the concept of polytheism and atheism. As there cannot be two kings in one kingdom and two presidents in one country in the same way there cannot two creators of this universe. Everything that Allah has created is in pairs: man and woman, fire and water, paradise and hell and good and evil. Now it is against the rules of nature to believe that one part of pair has been created by one being and other by someone else. In this regard Allah says:
“Had there been any gods in the heaven and earth apart from Allah, the order of both the heaven and earth would have gone to ruin” (23:22).
The way in which sun is followed by moon and day is followed by night, compel a mind to accept the existence of a supreme being who had created this universe. But Atheists believe that there is no god and this universe is an eternal fact.
Once Imam Abu Hanifa met a group of atheists and they argued on existence of god. Imam Abu Hanifa told them a strange experience that one day he was walking along the bank of river and he saw a tree which cut into pieces itself, then these pieces assumed the shape of a boat itself started shifting passengers from one side to the another side of river. The atheists denied him and said that it is not possible that some pieces of wood assume a shape of boat without a maker. Imam Abu Hanifa said; “If you cannot think of a single boat without a maker than how is it possible to think of this whole universe without a creator”.
Allah said: “Can there be any doubt about Allah, the creator of the heaven and the earth” (Al-Quran).
6- Conclusion:
Allah is one, though He is capable of doing of all kind of things without a helper or supporter. Allah is not only a creator but also a master of all things. Nothing can move or assume another shape without His knowledge and permission. The Quran also elaborate that Allah has created everything, without any helper, in a perfect way. Allah has created us and has power to create us again, after death. He is the only God who helps us in the time of adversity, Who gives us punishment when we transgress our limits, Who forgives us when we repent and finally to whom we all have to return.

Jugni, according to my humble opinion, your work is quite composed and nicely laid down. but add more dimensions or aspects to it. For example, the Tauheed is contrary to Shirk. Discuss both of them in relation to each other in a little more details in which you can describe the types of shirk and then relate that in the presence of any one type of Shirk in the belief set of a man, the belief of Tauheed is incomplete.


Conclusion wrote put more emphasis on Allah, but not the belief of Tauheed itself and its other aspects or implications in real life.

Overall, it's a well-organized effort.
