After defining tawhid, I provide two pathways for my argument:

In the first, revelation is the oldest evidence of knowledge and as the core character of monotheism has historically documented So, reference to the idea of tawhid lies at the heart of monotheisms. Tawhid is the worldwide theory of religion providing the simplest and therefore, the powerful explanation as a grand unifying theory. As Islam provides a clear de facto alliance with tawhid, The Qur’anic concept of tawhid, in particular, provides a strong connection both between science and religion and between Islam and other religions, in a way that would be unimaginable if we were to confine ourselves only to Barbour’s theory.

In the second, Plantinga argues that belief in God can be rationally accepted; they have a source of warrant or positive epistemic status independent of the deliverances of reason. The source of positive epistemic status for religious belief, therefore, is the same as that for scientific belief. Religious belief would be independent of arguments from reason; it would not require such argument for rationality or positive epistemic status.

Anyway, God would presumably want human beings to know of his presence but, an epistemic question arises: is our knowledge and even our science should be cogent and coherent with tawhid? If any argument provides YES. I conclude that practice of knowledge under revelation is understandable in term of communication or discourse.
