Tawhid (English spelling)

Japanese: タウヒード(英語表記)tawḥīd
Tawhid (English spelling)
A term meaning "the oneness of God" in Arabic. It is the second form of the verb waḥada, meaning "to be one," and is the gerund of waḥḥada, meaning "to make one" or "to recognize as one." It is a major fundamental doctrine in Islam. That is why Islamic theology is sometimes called the "study of tawhid." However, even though it is simply called tawhid, the specific content varies depending on the person, school, and sect. For example, for the average Muslim, it means confessing that "there is no god but Allah" and not actually worshiping other gods.

Japanese:
アラビア語で〈神の唯一性〉を意味する用語。〈一つである〉を意味する動詞waḥadaの第2型で〈一つにする〉〈一つと認める〉を意味するwaḥḥadaの動名詞。イスラムにおける主要な基本的教義である。イスラム神学が,ときとして〈タウヒードの学〉と呼ばれるのはそのためである。しかし,一口にタウヒードといっても,人により,また学派や宗派によってその具体的内容は異なる。たとえば,一般のムスリムにとっては,それは〈アッラーのほかに神なし〉ということを告白し,他の神を現実に崇拝しないことである。
