Abstract
Tawhid means accepting that Allah is one. It, as an ancient tradition has been a doctrine that dates back to the time of human existence. Tawhid is the base of the Islamic Aqidah (creed). The main theme of disciplines such as Aqaid and Kalam is Tawhid. Tawhid is also one of the most important principles of Tasawwuf. For sufis, Tawhid is a testament, it is a promise given to Allah in bazm-i alast (contract between Allah and people). With this promise / contract, they have internalized the balance of this world (dunya) and the hereafter (akhira), the soul and the body, the material and the spirit. Tawhid, as a means of adaptation and harmony, is a guide for today's people as well. The mission of Tawhid is very important in the face of keening on the world, materialism and in the face of some concerns. In today's world where secularization and profanity increase, the individual strives to regain the holistic viewpoint suggested by Tawhid. However, that human literally can not get rid of depression and anxiety. Because the person is not conscious of this doctrine, which allows to look at the universe with a holistic perspective. The notion of Tawhid in sufi philosophy has aimed to increase this awareness. The sufis' interpretation of Tawhid has a guiding characteristic for both their own times and today's individual. Tawhid has a balancing function in the relationship of a human in the modern age with Allah, himself and the universe.
