The tawhidic paradigm is an approach to interpreting the Qur’an that focuses on the singular nature of God. This approach acknowledges God’s authority over mankind, and explains that human beings cannot emulate God in any way and cannot serve as an extension of God’s sovereignty, as to do so would be shirk, an act that disrespects God’s unity. A viewpoint of this approach is that no human being can be inherently submissive to another as it is God who is the ultimate authority, and humans must submit only to him.
