This book is one of the most famous works of Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab. In it, he explains his position on the true nature of Tawhid (monotheism) and Shirk (polytheism), and its corrupting effects, after the manifestations of Shirk, grave worship, and other practices had become widespread in Muslim societies.
The author initially wrote it in Basra when he traveled there. His motivation for writing it stemmed from what he witnessed of the prevalence of Shirk and the loss of the true understanding of Tawhid among some Muslims, as well as the manifestations of major, minor, and hidden Shirk he observed among them.
This book focuses on the Oneness of Worship, which is the Oneness of God's Divinity, and warns against major and minor forms of polytheism. It also discusses the Oneness of God's Names and Attributes, presents evidence from the Quran and Sunnah on the dangers of polytheism, and explains the message of monotheism that God sent His messengers with.
The author begins this book by explaining the Oneness of Worship; Because most people in his time were ignorant of this concept of monotheism, and had fallen into many actions and sayings that contradicted it, he concluded his book with the Oneness of God's Names and Attributes, so that this book would be comprehensive of the three types of monotheism.
The author:
He is Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab ibn Sulayman ibn Ali al-Tamimi. He was born in 1115 AH in the city of al-Uyaynah in Najd, in the Arabian Peninsula. He memorized the Quran before the age of ten and studied jurisprudence with his father. He was intelligent and a voracious reader. The Sheikh traveled to Mecca, Medina, and Basra several times in pursuit of knowledge. In the city of Diriyah, he met Prince Muhammad ibn Saud, and they pledged allegiance to spread monotheism and establish God's rule on earth. He dedicated himself to calling people to God and faced difficulties in this endeavor, including being expelled by the people of Basra after he denounced their innovations and misguidance, and criticized their scholars for their silence. He then left on foot towards al-Zubayr. He authored books of great benefit, the most important of which are "The Book of Monotheism" and "The Four Principles." He died The Sheikh, may God have mercy on him, in the year 1206 AH.

- A great book. Scholars have devoted themselves to explaining and memorizing it. It is one of the books that should be included in school curricula. Sheikh Muhammad Taqi al-Din al-Hilali, may God have mercy on him, said: "It is not enough to read the book 'Kitab al-Tawhid' only once; rather, it should be read constantly. Every time you finish it, you should start it anew, as I do, because people are always in need of it." So that the monotheist may be certain and his faith strengthened, and so that the polytheist may turn away from his polytheism.
THANA
- The author here (may God have mercy on him) was establishing the true meaning of (monotheism and the transcendence of God Almighty from polytheism), according to the belief of the Sunni Muslims. It's a wonderful book, and I couldn't believe, while reading it, that it was by Imam Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab (may God have mercy on him), the one about whom so much noise was made about his hypocrisy, his distortion of religion, his extremism, and so on, all of which were used to expose and defame him. But I found nothing in the book except the correct Islamic creed, which I believe in. And I consider myself neither an extremist, nor a distorter, nor a hypocrite. And God knows best.
Huda Aweys
- The book on monotheism, which is the right of God over His servants, is an excellent book in every respect. It is small in size, but a deep understanding of it requires extensive commentaries that would fill many large volumes. The Sheikh (may God have mercy on him) exerted a great deal of effort in compiling the verses and hadiths on the topic of monotheism, including the oneness of God's divinity, Lordship, and names. It contains descriptions and mentions of many forms of polytheism that afflicted people in his time and in previous eras, all derived from the verses of the Quran and the noble Prophetic traditions. In my opinion, it deserves the highest rating and is highly recommended. I advise everyone to read it.
Mahmoud
- We need a book on monotheism for this era like this one, which its author compiled nearly two centuries ago. It examines our current reality and our beliefs in light of the Quran and Sunnah.
Afnan Al-Muhaysin
- The book contains the main text on the Oneness of God (may He be glorified and exalted), arranged by chapter title, verse, hadith, and any relevant sayings. Each chapter begins with a verse and then a hadith, concluding with the rulings and ideas derived from them. Throughout the book, the Sheikh (may God have mercy on him) explains the reality of monotheism and polytheism and their corrupting effects, especially after the prevalence and spread of polytheistic practices, grave worship, and other such things in Muslim societies.
