Islam is the religion of Tawhid (monotheism): Monotheism of Lordship (Tawhid al-Ruboobiya), Monotheism of Worship (Tawhid al-Uloohiya and Ibadah), and uniting all humans in a single body that obeys and worships one God.  Unity and Tawhid are fundamental concepts to establishing this Deen.  We can not unify our goals without uniting on the principles of this Deen, the methods to establishing it, and on the major and minor aspects of it.

O Allah, we seek refuge in You from disbelief or association in any shape or form, big and small, and from any innovation in anyway, big or small, and we ask for your forgiveness and repent to you from any sins major and minor.  We clear ourselves in order to be saved from your punishment and be protected in your shade on the day where there’s no shade except yours.
