Foreword The Essence of Monotheism (Tawheed

based on the belief in the one God. Only after this intellectual revolution can individuals become true monotheists, and when this revolutionary thought inspires many people, they form a society known as an Islamic society. Individuals require a set of guidelines to tell them how to live in this world. These serve as life’s guidebook for man. God is the ultimate source of these guidelines. God provides reliable guidance to human beings to navigate the journey of life successfully in every situation. God is the Creator and Lord of human beings. He alone reserves the right to inform man about life and death. Where did the caravan of humanity begin, and where does it lead to? What is the right path that guides man to his destination without straying? The most crucial need of every human being is to find God, establish a deep connection with Him, foster a loving relationship with Him, understand God’s Creation Plan for man, and build his life accordingly. Such a God-centered life is the only righteous way to live in this world. Wahiduddin Khan January 1, 2015 New Delhi
