Tawheed is the leading principle of the Islamic faith without which an individual is not considered a Muslim and its violation for those already believed will automatically result into the nullification of their faith.The Quran and the Hadith of the Prophet are very explicit on this issue; this is why the Muslim scholars of all ages in their wettings labored hard to preserve the true teachings and proper understanding of this major principle of this faith.This study therefore asses the observations of these scholars regarding this principle in view of what it means, affirmation of its lofty position, the main theme of all prophets and messengers commissioned by the Almighty Allah and its influence on a Muslim’s daily life.The study uses a textual analysis methodology.The study concludes by assessing the role of this principle in guiding Muslims to the straight path by fully implementing Allah’s commandments, something that will have a positive effect on their behavior and determination as effective vicegerents on earth and a guiding principle to their education system.
