Tawd is a prerogative, a privilege, of the Truth (the Almighty), yet His creatures are simply curious. One who falls into the seas of Tawhid will day after day feel more and more thirsty. Glory to the One Who has made no means for His creatures to really know Him except by proving to them that they can never know Him. Tawhid's meaning shatters any image and confuses all branches of knowledge, while Allah remains just as He has always been and will always be. Reason recognizes Him, yet the tongue can never describe Him. The subject of Tawhid is beyond anyone's description, for if you discuss the Almighty, there are too many views about Him to discuss, and there are too many ways to discuss Him through Him. Tawhid, then, means that whatever comes to your mind of how He may be or anything which you think is appropriate for Him., He is contrary to and above it, Glory to Him. His will is affected regarding everything. Nothing escapes His knowledge, not even as much as the weight of an atom in the heavens or the earth, nor smaller than that nor bigger: His knowledge encompasses everything. No leaf falls down without His knowledge. Not even an atom moves without His knowledge nothing takes place without His will. Whatever He wills comes to be, and whatever He does not ever will. None creates, nor sustains, nor grants, nor withholds, nor brings back to life, nor causes death, nor manages the affairs of the domain outwardly or inwardly, except Allah. Tahweed means recognition of the Unity of the One Who alone manages the affairs of His servants.
To believe in Tahweed is to believe that there is no partner at all with Allah in His authority, and that being One is a quality of His which nobody else shares with Him. Linguistically, "al-Wahid" means: the One Who does not socialize with people nor keeps them company. " And your Lord is One (and Only) Lord! There is no god but He" (Quran, 2:163).
