===Tawhid===
{{See also|Tawhid|Shirk (Islam)}}

Belief in the "One God", also known as the ''[[Tawhid]]'' ({{Langx|ar|التَوْحيدْ|label=none}}) in Arabic, consists of two parts (or principles):

# ''Tawḥīdu r-Rubūbiyya'' ({{langx|ar|تَوْحيدُ الرُبوبِيَّة}}): Believing in the attributes of God and attributing them to no other but God. Such attributes include Creation, having no beginning, and having no end. These attributes are what make a God. Islam also teaches no less than 99 names for God, and each of these names defines one attribute. One breaks this principle, for example, by believing in an Idol as an intercessor to God. The idol, in this case, is thought of having powers that only God should have, thereby breaking this part of Tawheed. No intercession is required to communicate with, or worship, God.<ref>{{qref|2|186|b=y}}</ref>
# ''Tawḥīdu l-'ulūhiyya'' ({{langx|ar|تَوْحيدُ الأُلوهيَّة}}) : Directing worship, prayer, or deed to God, and God only. For example, worshiping an idol or any saint or prophet is also considered Shirk.
