One of the topics considered by the Imams (as) due to the type of Quranic approach and due to the deviations that occurred after the demise of the Prophet (pbuh), was the doctrinal issues, especially monotheism and related issues. In this research, an attempt has been made to study the narrations of Imam Riḍā (as) on the subject of monotheism from the book Uyun by the method of quantitative-qualitative content analysis in order to clarify what principles Imam (as) has relied on in answering monotheistic questions and what path he has taken in explaining and proving monotheism. The results of this study show that Imam (as) at the same time encouraging people to know God and explaining the possibility, importance, tools, factors and the main basis of cognition, with two important orientations, explains monotheism: 1. Introducing the attributes of imperfection in human beings and denying it from God Almighty. In this section, Imam (as) focuses on denying the incarnation and vision of God and predestination. 2. Introducing the divine names and its difference with the attributes of perfection in human beings, in this section, Imam (as) while introducing the names of God and explaining it, has emphasized and explained the three characteristics of knowledge, will and power about God Almighty.
