Tawhid is a multi-faceted concept that implies both belief and action.

In the famous hadith of Gabriel, the Prophet was asked what are Iman, Islam and Ihsan? His response to Iman was: Belief in Tawhid, angels, books, prophets, the Day of Judgment and destiny. His response to Islam was: Tawhid, prayer, fasting, zakat and Hajj. His response to Ihsan was: to worship Allah as though you see Him.

Each of the elements that constitute Iman are faith based, whereas each of the elements of Islam are action based. It is common to confuse the two and neglect the implementation of Tawhid, however it is an essential aspect of being a Muslim. The question that each person must ask is simple: what does it mean to implement Tawhid?
