وَإِلَـٰهُكُمۡ إِلَـٰهٌ۬ وَٲحِدٌ۬‌ۖ لَّآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ (سورة البقرة:۱۶۳)

"AND YOUR GOD IS ONE GOD: THERE IS NO GOD BUT HE, THE ALL-MERCIFUL, THE VERY MERCIFUL." (SURAH AL-BAQARAH:163)

There are several different facets of Tauheed (the Oneness of Allah) some of which are described below:

1. He is One in the state of His being, that is, there exists in the universe of His creation no entity like Him. He is without any duplicate or replica and without any equal or parallel.

2. He is One in claiming the right of being worshipped, that is, in view of the nature of His Being and the comprehensiveness of His most perfect attributes, all Ibadah, all worship has to be for Him alone.

3. He is One in being free of any conceivable composition, that is, He is free of segments and fragments, units and organs, substances and elements, atoms and particles. There is no way He can be analysed or divided.

4. He is One in His existence in that He existed when nothing did and He will remain existing when nothing will. (Jassas)
