Tawḥīd: a concept map ​

ʿAllāmah Ṭabāṭabāʾī calls tawḥīd the single truth on which the whole Qur’an rests. This map gathers what he says about it across the commentary: what “One” means, God’s names and attributes, His oneness in lordship and in worship, its opposite, and its place in the human being and in religion. Each point opens his own words in the commentary.
