Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A — Tawhid — the oneness and uniqueness of Allah
Tawhid refers to the core Islamic doctrine of the absolute oneness of Allah, meaning He has no partners, equals, or associates. Tawakkul refers to trust in Allah, not His nature. Taqwa describes a state of piety and God-consciousness in the believer. Tawbah is the concept of sincere repentance, unrelated to Allah's essential nature.
