Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner asks: What is the difference between the science of 'aqeedah and the science of tawhid?
Answer:
It is the same; the science of 'aqidah (creed) and the science of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) are one and the same, with no difference between them. 'Aqidah is tawhid, and tawhid is 'aqidah. Yes, 'aqidah encompasses the three types of tawhid, as well as faith in the angels, faith in the messengers, faith in the books, faith in the Last Day, and faith in the divine decree, both its good and its evil. All of this falls under the matter of 'aqidah. Yes.
