The Fundamentals of Tawheed (Islamic Monotheism)

Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips


This is only chapters (1, 2, and 10) from the book "The Fundamentals of Tawheed (Islamic Monotheism)". This book is highly recommended reading for those who would like to learn about the basis of Islam: there is no being worthy of worship except Allah (God), and Allah is Absolutely One and Absolutely Unique. We note also that a Muslim is further obligated to accept the Prophet Muhammad (may Peace Be Upon Him) as Allah's final prophet to humanity.
