Taw heed (monotheism,oneness of Allah god)

Once a person believes that there is nothing worthy of worship except Allah (God) alone and he has no partner and Muhammad is his messenger and last of the prophets, then one must follow Taw heed (monotheism oneness of god) Taw heed is a part of faith which one must adhere to because if a person has no Taw heed (monotheism) he has no faith. The Muslim is one who retain a firm belief, pronounce the declaration of faith (shahadah) and maintain apparent righteous deeds. Taw heed is nothing new, all the prophets as from Nuh (Noah) to Muhammad came with Tawheed monotheism advise the people to worship one god. We as mankind was created by god and solely to worship him nothing else. So when one is having a religious conversation one has to invite and speak about Tawheed (oneness of god) because if a person has no Tawheed, doesn't believe that god is one and he has no associates he has no faith. Tawheed has three aspects: 1. Oneness of the lordship of Allah (god) tawheed-ar-rububiya: To believe that there is only one lord for all the universe, it's creator, organizer, planner, sustainer, and the giver of security, etc. and that is Allah (God).2. Oneness of the worship of Allah:(god) tawheed-al-uluhiya: To believe that none has the right to be worshipped (e.g praying, invoking, asking for help (from the unseen), swearing, slaughtering, sacrigices, giving charity, fasting, pilgrimage, etc.) but Allah (God).3. Oneness of the names and the qualities of Allah (God): Tawheed-al-Asma was-sifat: To believe that:(i) We must not name or qualify Allah (God) except with what he or his messenger Muhammad (Saws) has named or qualified him.(ii) None can be named or qualified with the names or qualifications of Allah (God)(iii) We must confirm all of Allah's (God's) qualifications which Allah has stated in his book (the quaran) or mention through his messenger (Muhammad (saws)) without changing them or ignoring them completely or twisting the meanings or giving resemblance to any of the created things. Muslims believe in all these aspects of tawheed wholeheartedly and believe in their heart and profess with the tongue laa illaha ill allah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah (God).
