tauhid

In Islam, the central belief in the ‘oneness of God’; also that God is the supreme creator and power behind the universe. Muslims believe that God is eternal, has no beginning, and is the supreme ruler; creator of everything, God is beyond creation or even understanding. Muslims can break tauhid by forgetting that only God owns things, by being proud (any talents are God-given), or through any action or belief that contradicts God's ultimate supremacy (for example, by following a superstition). Trying to alter the course of events by asking God to change them also breaks tauhid, because only God knows the right outcome.
