Tawhid derive from an Arabic word meaning “unification” or “oneness”. There are three categories of Tawhid, which are Tawhid ar-Rububiyah, Tawhid al-uluhiyah and Tawhid asma’ wa sifat. Tawhid ar-Rububiyah is the Oneness of Lordship. Muslim believe that Allah os the only One who created all this thing in this world. Tawhid al-Uluhiyah is the Oneness of Worship as Allah is the only we should worship to. As Islam means submission, we as a servant to Allah should worship to Allah by praying, fasting and supplication to Him. The third category of tawhid is  tawhid Asma’ was Sifat which means the Oneness of Allah’s Attributes and Names. In the Quran, it already mentions various names of Allah’s attributes for example, The Merciful and the Magnificent. These names describe Allah’s nature and we as servant should not be used to do so. Allah the only one who has these attributes perfectly.

Ethical relativism is the theory that holds a range of practices that considered morally and relative to the norms of one’s culture. The actions or practices is evaluate either right or wrong depending on the moral norms of the society which it is practiced. There are no universal moral standards in the ethical relativism which means the standard can be applied universally to all people at all times. The same action can be morally right in one society but it can be contrast to other society. For example, killing one’s parents after they reached a certain age was common practice in some societies. But I would be condemned by other society as the moral principle the children’s duty is to take care of their parents.

Intrinsic value is an ethical and philosophy property. It describes value beyond the goals, opinions and preference. It is good in itself and good for its own sake. For example when we say that food is good, we mean that it is good for keeping us alive. When we say that we should eat food, we mean that we should eat food if we want to stay alive. Therefore, it shows us that the food is good for the sake of something else.

Instrumental value In general meaning is the value of objects, both physical objects and abstract objects. It also act as means of achieving something else. An ethic good with instrumental value as an ethic mean which is not necessarily being end itself. For instance, if the individual enjoys reading and to leas to their pleasure. Reading is an action and it leads to the value of happiness. Therefore, reading is the means to be happy. Instrumental value is something explicit that easier to define compared to intrinsic value.
