Al-Tawhid: Its Implication for Thought and Life

---

"If the concept of tawhid is central to Islam and everything Islamic, it is because of its centrality to existence and everything that exists. Indeed, Islamic science, whether, religious, moral, or natural is essentially a quest to discover the order underlying the variegated world of multiplicity.

The work of al Shahid, Dr. Ismā'īl Rājī al Fārüqi on the subject of tawhid affords the reader not only a look at the axial doctrine of Islam, but which allows the reader to understand that doctrine from a number of different perspectives. In the endeavor to explain the simple truths of the doctrine of unity, Dr. al Färüqi touches upon a broad spectrum of subjects, drawing into his discussions elements from history, comparative religion, an-thropology, philosophy, ethics, epistemology, archaeology, and other disciplines. As such, his concept of tawhid is rich in the depth of its erudition, abundant in its perceptions. Indeed, it is perhaps this work more than any other that reflects the profound and original thought of Dr. al. Farūqi."
