Surah Ikhlaas -Tawheed in a nutshell
The essence of Tawheed in a nutshell. Tawheed is the first step for reforming oneself and the pre-requisite of all righteous deeds. Thus is it incumbent for us to fully comprehend this principle. For example,if one was to build a house, he or she would require to build the foundation first then from that base build the rest of the house. Think of the foundation of the house as Tawheed and the rest of the house as Prayers, Fasting, Zakat, and Hajj.

The term Tawheed demands a lengthier translation, namely: the realization-and-affirmation-of-Oneness. The Unity of God, the Divine Unity, Unity in its most profound sense. Allah is The Real, The Absolute. Allah is One in His Essence, His Attributes and His Acts. Before the existence of the universe there was nothing but The Creator.
