The Position of Nahj al-Balaghah in Explaining Monotheism, Tawhid

Tawhid is counted as the foundation of all Divine messengers’ mission; worshipping the Unique God is an essential need for all and the only agent for real peace lies only in belief in Him. The notability of the subject has caused many to study and write in the field. Yet, it may be argued that the subject will be considerable and interesting forever. Incorrect idea of Tawhid, however, has caused many scholars to involve in skepticism. And as is known, contrary to what said by some people of thought, it is not enough for perceiving the subject to study the Quran only. This is, therefore, the reason for referring to Nahj al-Balaghah to understand Quranic Tawhid better. In this study, an attempt has been made to explain notability of Tawhid by Quranic verses and traditions. In addition, in the shadow of monotheistic teachings of Nahj al-Balaghah, an emphasis has been given to the fact that impossibility of one`s knowledge of the Essence does not disprove one`s relative possibility in the field.
