Tawhid in the Quran?
OP - April 07, 2010, 04:04 PM

Can anyone help me figure out how, from the Quran only, it is possible to derive the doctrine that there is no other transcendent being except Allah?

The best I found is 112:01 to 112:04, and 21:22.

But from the translations I read, they do not exactly rule out the possibility that another God might exist.

Do not look directly at the operational end of the device.

Surah Ikhlas

Which is chapter 112, verses 1-4

Ah! Yes, that's pretty explicit.
Thanks!

I really could not find any good pages that explained me where the various Islamic doctrines are derived from.

I was wondering which ones can be derived from the Quran only, and which require the hadith.

That's the one I found kinda vague.
What Hassan posted seems more precise and doesn't allow loopholes.
