In Haz Al-Din's treatment, tawhid is not merely a metaphysical proposition but a total critique of idolatry in every form:
* '''Political''': no human institution — state, market, nation, or party — may claim absolute validity; all are relative before God. This relativizes every earthly power.
* '''Economic''': the prohibition of riba follows from tawhid — usury makes money claim creative power that belongs to God alone.
* '''Dialectical''': the finite world's dependence on the Absolute grounds a materialist reading of history without positivist closure nature is God's self-unfolding order, open to rational comprehension (see [[Communism is Islam]]).

Scholars distinguish tawhid al-rububiyya (oneness of lordship), tawhid al-uluhiyya (oneness of worship), and tawhid al-asma wa'l-sifat (oneness of names and attributes).

Tawhid (توحيد) — the absolute oneness of Allah: not mere monotheism but exclusive sovereignty — no partner, no rival, no autonomous power beside God.

All human authority derivative and accountable. Its social content: the ummah as one community of submission to objective order; zakat and the prohibition of riba as economic structure, not personal piety. Its opposite, shirk (associating partners with God), reads in Infrared as the structure of idolatry generally — the market, the sovereign individual, capital itself.

In the Communism is Islam thesis, tawhid is the bridge: communism likewise refuses to associate productive powers with private sovereignty; likewise subordinates the part to the objective whole. In the slogan Allah, Cosmos, Xi Jinping, tawhid comes first — without absolute sovereignty as ground, "cosmos" collapses into nature-worship and "Xi Jinping" into mere statecraft.
