Description
Summary:Tawhid, as a concept is a not new, yet it is not fully comprehended by many Muslims. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to analyse and explain the meaning of tawhid and its implications. This study has mainly focused on textual analysis of the writings of Ismail Al Faruqi, and compares it with those of Sayyid Qutb, and Abul A'la Al Mawdudi. The study has also benefited from the works of reputed scholars who have contributed to the explication of the concept of tawhid. The study found that the concept of tawhid of Ismail Al Faruqi is clearer and broader than those found in the writings of Sayyid Qutb and Abul A'la Mawdudi. This is specially in the fields of Economics, Politics, Ethics, Axiology, Sociology, Metaphysics and Aesthetics. It is also shown tht Al Faruqi's creative application in the ffield of tawhid helps in solving the current problems of the Muslims and in removing the suspicions of non-Muslims on tawhid and on Islam as a way of life.
