Tawheed/Islamic Monotheism
Say: "Truly, my worship and my sacrifice and my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the Worlds. He has no partner. This am I commanded, and I am first of those who surrender to Him."
[The Holy Quran, Surah An'Am, Chapter 6 and Verses 162 and 163]
The perfect believer is he who subjects himself to the commands of God in every moment of his life, who passes his whole life, from begining to end, in the thoughts of Divine Unity, whose friendship as well as enmity is for God's sake alone.

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh (peace and blessings and mercy of God to all!)...
Umm.. you answered your own question, didn't ya?
Tawheed is basically the belief that God (Allah) is ONE, He's the Creator of all worlds and all that's in them, and that we should worship Him and Him only. Anyone who worships something/someone other than the One and Only God is considered to be committing what we Muslims call "shirk" (the joining of 'gods' with the One God). There are different types of shirks... major, minor... The major one, of course, is WORSHIPPING someone/something other than Allah (like humans, stones, the sun, rocks, fire, etc. ... people do this, so dont be shocked!). The minor type of shirks include spending more time with someone than you do worshipping, praising Allah or more time with someone/something than you do committing good deeds intending to mak God happy. Or preferring money, for instance, to God...
Yeah, things like that. But you seem to know what tawheed is yourself already... lol
Still, good question for the understanding of those who REALLY wanna know what "monotheism" is!
Peace to all.

Tawheed in Arabic means attributing Oneness to Allaah and describing Him as being One and Unique, with no partner or peer in His Essence and Attributes.
The Arabs say waahid, ahad and waheed, all meaning one. Allaah is Waahid, meaning that He has no rivals or peers in any way. So Tawheed means knowing Allaah is One, with none like unto Him. Whoever does not acknowledge Allaah in these terms and does not describe Him as being One with no partner or associate does not believe in Tawheed.
