- Abstract
The only argument that the theologians present in their works regarding to the unity of Allah is the argument of tawḥīd called tamānu'. Apart from this, it is almost impossible to find any other independent argument regarding tawḥīd in the literature that is not based on tamānu'. Contrary to the abundance of arguments for the existence of God, it is thoughtprovoking why there are very few argument of his unity. Two possibilities can be mentioned here: either the argument of tamānu' is sufficient for unity and there is no need for another argument, or no alternative, independent argument other than tamānu' has been found. To the best of my judgement, the first independent, alternative argument belongs to a scholar from Khorasan who lived in the sixth century Hijri: Bahāʾ al-Dīn al-Najjār al-Qazvīnī. In his work titled Sirāj al-'ukūl, after presenting the argument of tamānu', he includes an argument about tawḥīd, calling it a "surprising interpretation". The argument, which is shaped by two substances and their feature of placement, finally concludes with the idea that there should be only one God, by bringing the issue to the situation and position of two gods in spacelessness.
