The answer

The division of Tawhid (Oneness of God) is derived from an inductive study of the texts of the Qur'an and Sunnah. It is divided into Tawhid al-Uluhiyyah (Oneness of God in His Divinity), which calls for dedicating worship solely to Allah; Tawhid al-Rububiyyah (Oneness of God in His Lordship), which affirms that Allah is the Creator, Sustainer, and Disposer of affairs; and Tawhid al-Asma wa al-Sifat (Oneness of God in His Names and Attributes), which affirms for Allah the most beautiful names and the most sublime attributes without any resemblance. Some scholars may add Tawhid al-Mutaba'ah (Oneness in Following), which necessitates following the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him.
