No doubt, believing in Allah as the only God who is worthy of worship is the greatest of all principles. It is the most perfect, most superior and most imperative for mankind's welfare. Both mankind and jinn, and all other creatures have been created, just as the divine laws have been ordained for the purpose of fulfilling the obligation of this Tawhīd. With the Tawhīd al-Ulūhiyyah righteousness prevails, and without it evil and perversion will be the order of the day. Hence, it has been the essence of the mission of Allah's Messengers, the objective of their message, and the foundation of their Dawah. Allah, the Exalted, says:
And indeed, We have raised in every nation a Messenger [proclaiming] "Worship Allah and shun false gods". [Quran (16):36]
And We sent no Messenger before you unless We revealed to him [saying] "There is no god worthy of worship but I, so worship Me". [Quran (21):25]
The Glorious Quran has in so many places indicated that the Tawhīd al-Ulūhiyyah was the key of all divine missions, adding that every messenger of Allah did start his mission by calling his people to the belief in Allah's oneness to worship none but Him. Allah, the Exalted, says,
And to [the tribe of] 'Âd [We sent] their brother, Hūd, who said, "O my people! Worship Allah, you have no other god worthy but Him". [Quran (7):65]
And to [the tribe of] Thamūd [We sent] their brother, Sālih, who said, "O my people! Worship Allah, you have no other god worthy of worship but Him". [Quran (7):73]
And to [the people of] Midian [We sent] their brothers, Shu'aib, who said, "O my people! Worship Allah, you have as no other god worthy of worship but Him". [Quran (7):85]
