The Triangle of Monotheism: A Quranic Perspective

Abstract

This article investigates the Qur’anic understanding of monotheism (Tawḥīd) by introducing a conceptual model described as the Triangle of Monotheism, which is formed by Allah, Prophethood, and Humanity. The study maintains that the Qur’an presents monotheism as a comprehensive system that extends beyond belief in the oneness of God to include adherence to prophetic revelation and the ethical accountability of human beings. Through an analysis of relevant Qur’anic passages, the research explains how these three components operate in mutual relationship to shape religious belief, moral values, and social conduct. By framing Tawḥīd as an integrated theological structure, this study offers a renewed approach to understanding Islamic monotheism and contributes to ongoing scholarly discussions in Qur’anic theology.
