It is evident that a faith not founded upon the Oneness of God will lead its followers along an entirely different path, depriving them of the very purpose of religion. Unless there is a focal point which is the ultimate goal, all efforts will be rendered vain. All religions concur that there is one central objective that everyone must strive to attain. Some communities worship idols, but they maintain that idols are mere intermediaries to help them reach God. The adherent of every religion declares the quest for God as the purpose of faith. A person who does not reach God is considered to have failed in the true objective of religion. In other words, a person who does not grasp the true essence of Tauheed cannot succeed.

The Promised Messiah as wrote that there is no nation to which God did not send a prophet, a divine teacher, a sage, or a saint.
