Summary
Linguistically, tauhid derives from the word wahhada, meaning to make something one. In its technical sense, it is affirming the oneness of Allah through worship and believing in His oneness in essence, attributes and actions. The science of tauhid covers three basic areas: divinity, prophethood and sam'iyyah matters (the unseen). It is also known as the science of Kalam, Aqidah and Usuluddin.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, tauhid ialah ilmu yang mampu menetapkan kepercayaan beragama dan menyumbang kepada ketetapan keyakinan, hasil dari dalil dan bukti yang benar-benar meyakinkan.
