The fundamental principle of faith in Islam is the belief in Allah His existence His Oneness and Uniqueness and that He is The One and Only GOD.
The existence of Allah is a self evident truth, since nothing exits without having someone bringing it to existence. Even the simplest, the most primitive man knows well that one cannot be the creator of one's self: there ought to be a creator of us all, the entire universe.
The Oneness of Allah is a rational truth, proved by the unity of the universe. Belief in polytheism will entail the difficulty of dividing powers among several gods, if not conflicts among them. One can easily see that all that is in the universe is interdependent. Man, for example, requires the aid of plants, metals, animals and stars even as each one of these objects needs another's help in one way or the other. The division of divine will thus becomes impracticable.
Faith in Islam means to believe that is One God who has total sovereignty over the entire with his creatures.
The Divinity of Allah means the bondage of all creatures to Allah, the One. Bondage to Allah is an absolute necessity. But bondage to Allah is deliberately chosen by believers as shown in their obedience to Allah in faith, behavior and actions.
Monotheism in Islam requires submission to all the laws Allah has sent down by Allah. However, this does not prevent human freedom from legislating issues not revealed in a divine text or any guidance from Allah and His Messengers. But human legislation should not contradict the general ordinance of Islamic laws, any Quranic text, authentic tradition (Sunnah) or any ruling based on these.
