[M]Learn and understand the three categories of Tawheed:

Tawheed ar-Rububiyyah (Lordship), Tawheed al-Uluhiyyah (Worship),

Tawheed al-Asma was-Sifat (Names and Attributes).

[1]Call upon Allah by His beautiful names: Ar-Rahman, Al-Karim, Al-Ghafur, etc.

[2]Say "La ilaha illallah" daily — it is the best dhikr. (Tirmidhi 3387)

[1]Purify your intention (niyyah) for every action — deeds are by intentions. (Bukhari 1)

[1]Have tawakkul (trust) in Allah alone while taking necessary means. (Qur'an 65:3)

[2]Know that whatever befalls you could not have missed you, and whatever misses you

could not have befallen you. (Tirmidhi 2516)

[3]Teach Tawheed to your family — the first obligation after the shahada.

(extra):

[2]Make shukr (gratitude) for every blessing — a grateful servant is loved by Allah.

[3]Study the life of the Prophet to see how he embodied tawheed.

[1]Teach your family to say "La ilaha illallah" first and last in life.

[2]Remove any shirk from your home: remove pictures of animate beings hanging, charms, etc.
