Keywords:
Tawhid, self-esteem, religious psychology, value internalization, Islamic psychologyAbstract
The values of tawhid constitute the core of Islamic teachings, forming the foundation of all aspects of human spiritual and psychological life. In the study of religious psychology, the internalization of tawhid values is believed to play a significant role in shaping an individual's self-esteem. This article aims to explain how the principles of tawhid can foster healthy and stable self-esteem through an integrative approach that combines concepts from religious psychology and Islamic theology. The study employs a literature review method, examining Islamic texts and contemporary psychological works. The findings indicate that a deep understanding of tawhid fosters a sense of connection with God, reduces dependence on external judgments, and strengthens a complete and empowered self-identity
