Is tawhid (the oneness of Allah) the same as faith?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : The questioner asks: Is faith the same as tawhid (the oneness of Allah), or is there a difference between them?

Answer : Tawhid (the oneness of Allah) is singling out Allah (Mighty and Majestic) with what is specific to Him and obligatory for Him, while faith is the affirmation that includes acceptance and submission. There is a relationship of generality and specificity between them: every one who practices tawhid is a believer, and every believer practices tawhid in the general sense. However, sometimes tawhid is more specific than faith, and faith is more specific than tawhid. Yes.
