The One who is uniquely without partner.

Allah's oneness does not mean being the first member of a numerical series or standing alone in a location. It means that His divinity is without counterpart, His perfection is not borrowed, and no other being shares His status as God. The unity of the divine essence and the uniqueness of divine attributes belong to this basic doctrine.

Oneness differs from solitude: A person can be alone in a room yet remain limited, dependent and like other people. Divine uniqueness is not spatial isolation; it is absolute freedom from partners in divinity.

To equate a creature with God contradicts tawḥīd. So does treating the creature's limited knowledge or power as equal to Allah's incomparable perfection.
