Differentiating The Pure Monotheism of Islam from the Implied Monotheism of Judeo-Christian Traditions

The article delves into the pure concept of Tawheed, the bedrock of Islamic monotheism, distinguishing it from the implied monotheistic perspectives of Judeo-Christian traditions.

Tawheed in Islam transcends the acknowledgment of a single Creator of this Cosmos, representing a comprehensive oneness that influences every aspect of understanding, faith, and practice. The paper discusses the realistic, theological, and philosophical, dimensions of Tawheed, highlighting its uniqueness away from any typr of partnership with God. The article aims to articulate how Islamic monotheism, as embodied in Tawheed, is the truest form of monotheism, which is the basic faith of Islam distinguishing it from others in the religious sphere.
