    • Seven stages of Tawheed are categorized:
      • Total devotion to none but Allah
      • Tawheed in deeds
      • Tawheed in trusting none but Allah
      • Tawheed in benefit or deprivation from none but Allah
      • Tawheed in order or forbidding from none but Allah
      • Tawheed in the Attributes of Allah
      • Tawheed in worship

    Surah Ikhlas
