There are four important rules or aspects of Tawhid. We can not be a true Muslim until we fulfill all these four conditions of Tawhid. First Condition - To believe in the absolute oneness of Allah. To reject all things being considered as god and to believe in absolute oneness of God. This is the literal translation of Shahadah. There is no god but Allah. Thus, the first condition of Tawhid tells us the following truth.

We must bear in our mind to reflect this aspect of Tawhid in all our thoughts and actions. a - Allah is Self-Dependent. He is a Being Who is not dependent on any other being in anyway. Everything depends on Him and needs His help for his survival or to do anything for himself or for anyone else. To elaborate this fact further in the light of the teachings of our Imam, we believe that; G The prophets can not show miracle without His permission.

G The doctors can not save the life of any person by their own power. G The scientists can not discover the secrets of Nature without His backing. G The engineers can not design airplane, spacecraft, computers or anything without His aid. G The pilots can not fly the airplanes, spacecraft and rockets without His support.

Quran reflects: "Allah is He besides Whom there is no god, the everlasting, the Self-subsisting by Whom all subsist ; slumber does not overtake Him nor sleep; whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is His; who is he that can intercede with Him but by His permission.

He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they can not comprehend anything out of His knowledge except He pleases, His knowledge extends over the heavens and the earth, and the control of the universe is not fatiguing for Him, and He is the Most High, the Great". (2:255) Thus, to do any small thing or big thing, anyone and everyone needs His help. This quality of Allah is expressed in His name, GHANI, meaning absolutely independent of everything.

Thus, He is absolutely independent of everything, and everything totally depends upon Him. Quran confirms this fact in the following verse. "O men, it is you who stand in need of Allah. As for Allah, He is above all needs, worthy of praise".
