Islamic Monotheism

The monotheism preached by Islam is called ‘Tauheed’, which says that ‘there is no God but Allah’ and He is then Creator and Sustainer of the worlds. The Islamic way of life has been framed on the basis of one principle i.e. ‘there is no God
but Allah’ so that this monotheism is reflected in worship, thought, conduct, activities etc. of its followers and Al-Qur’an is the Holy Book where this way of life has been described.
The Islamic monotheism is uncompromising and absolute and forbids attributing even the slightest divinity on any object, nor does it allow unification of the Creator and creation under any circumstances.
This book compiled by Dr. A. Rahman entitled Islamic Monotheism (Tauheed) is pleasantly readable because he has elucidated many difficult concepts of Tauheed contained in the Holy Qur’an. The book is divided into seven chapters. While
the first two chapters are introductory, the author goes deeper into the faith of monotheism in the third and fourth chapters and seeks to assert monotheism by discussing ‘Shirk’ i.e. commission of the utmost blasphemy of associating creation
with the Creator. In the fourth chapter he has effectively dealt with even such common human weaknesses as belief in astrology, talisman, spells of charm, etc. The fifth chapter deals with Mysticism and Sufism in the context of monotheism. This is an area that has been probed widely and in depth by the scholars both in the oriental and western worlds because of the mystic ideas it holds out. The sixth and seventh chapters have elaborated some more topics on Islamic Monotheism. Dr. Rahman has collected views and theories from different sources and presented them systematically to make them easy to understand. Besides, he has drawn conclusions on them from the Islamic point of view.
The author’s effort is an onerous one. He has deliberated upon the topics with such scholarship, that those who want to know the essence of Islamic monotheism will surely benefit.
