The research results show that monotheism, according to Ismail Raji al-Faruqi, is the belief that there is no God but Allah. Meanwhile, al-Faruqi's Islamic humanism is more directed towards monotheistic humanism, where only God respects humans as humans and creatures without deifying or humiliating them. Tauhid in Islamic humanism is that God commands humans to worship and serve Him. God has given gifts in the form of five senses: reason, understanding, and making humans very perfect, even to the point of blowing their souls into them with the aim of carrying out their great task, where their great task is the reason for their creation man.
