The People of Monotheism may translate several Arabic terms:

  • Ahl al-Tawḥīd (Template:Lang-ar), a name the Druze use for themselves. Literally, "The People of Unity" or "The Unitarians", from tawḥid, unity (of God).
  • al-Muwaḥḥidun (Template:Lang-ar) is an Arabic term meaning "monotheists" or "those who believe in the unity of God" (tawhid). It had had currency as:
    • the Arabic name of the Almohads.
    • a term that adherents of Salafism use to describe themselves.
    • a term that the Druze use to describe themselves.
  • Ahl al-ʿAdl wa t-Tawḥīd, "The People of Justice and Monotheism", a term used by the Mu'tazilis to describe themselves.
