AI overview

I can't write an accurate overview of monotheism in Islam based solely on that context, as it only describes a gesture symbol without explaining what monotheism in Islam actually is or why it matters. To provide an accurate overview, I would need to invent facts rather than base it only on the information provided.

thumb|upright=0.8|Muslims use the single raised index finger gesture (al-sabbaba or al-sabbaha) as a symbol of tawhid.

Tawhid, literally "to unite" or "to make one", refers to the principle of monotheism in Islam. It is the religion's central and single most important concept, upon which a Muslim's entire religious adherence rests. It unequivocally holds that God is indivisibly one (ahad) and single (wahid).
