Summary/Abstract: The basic idea of Islam is the belief in the oneness of God. All other Islamic teachings, and these are questions of worldview, morality and religion, arise from this idea. Of course, some questions of God’s oneness or tawhid are more important than others and they are related to understanding of the Supreme God. Accordingly, Allame Tabatabai wrote several short but very substantial epistles written in a rational approach to Qur’anic verses and traditions. These epistles are collected in one book: the Epistle on Tawhid, the Epistle on the Names of God, the Epistle on the Works of God, the Epistle on Mediation. On this occasion, in this issue of Living Heritage, we offer a translation of the first epistle, i.e., the Epistle on Tawhid.
