The People of Monotheism may translate several Arabic terms:

  • Ahl al-Tawḥīd (Arabic: أهل التوحيد‎‎), a name the Druze use for themselves. Literally, "The People of the Unity" or "The Unitarians," from tawḥid, unity (of God).
  • al-Muwaḥḥidun (Arabic: الموحدون‎‎) is an Arabic term meaning "the monotheists." It has 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.
  • a term that the ʿAlawīs use to describe themselves.
  • Ahl al-ʿAdl wa t-Tawḥīd, "The People of Justice and Monotheism," a term used by the Muʿtazilis to describe themselves.
