==Tawheed versus monotheism==
Monotheism means that only one god exists. But tawheed is more complicated. Various scholars divided tawheed into various branches (Tawheed Ar-Ruboobiyyah, Tawheed Al-Uloohiyyah..) <ref>https://www.islamweb.net/en/article/157998/al-hakimiyyah-as-a-branch-of-tawheed</ref>. An important part of tawheed is that Allah is the only legislator (Tawheed Al-Hakimiyyah), which makes Islam incompatible with democracy. Muslims have to obey only god and nobody else. And the will of god happens to be everything Muhammad says:
