4th Fourth Kalima also known as “Tawheed” means to “accept the oneness of Allah”. In Islam, the Tauheed reflects the concept of monotheism for Allah which means that the Muslims assert that there is no God but Allah and to Him, they shall return.
Tawheed is the first pillar of Islam which along with other pillars completes the cycle of faith in a Muslim’s life. The acceptance of Tauheed is the major difference between a Muslim and a non-Muslim.
It Comes after the 3rd Kalima -Tamjeed- and before the 5th Kalima -Astaghfar-.
Quran states that one of the worst sins you can commit is shirk, which refers to associating partners or accepting other divinities alongside Allah. Shirk is a serious sin and according to the Quran is unforgivable.
