For example one of Allah's names is the All Knowing, this Name is unique for him alone because Allah is the only one who is All Knowing, and perfect in his knowledge, there is no created being who has such an attribute.

Here It is
important to be clarified that ........
1. These term and classification/Categorisation of Tawheed is not from
Quran and Hadith. This division of Tawheed into two/three is not from The Messenger of Allah or from Sahba.
2.Although its meaning is established from Quran and Hadith.
3.This Categorization has been done
by Scholars for making thing easy.
4.It has been done only for understanding
purpose One must not get confused about there being categories.Essentially all categories fall within the single term of Tawheed. Rather
all the categories are all connected to Allah.Simple word Tawheed also
encompass all these.I
5.It is incorrect to say that if someone is not using
these term that mean his Aqeedah/Emaan/Yaqeen/belief is weak.This claim is not CORRECT and
acceptable. Sahabas did not use these classification but their Imaan was most
strong.

his Famous Sharah Aqeedatut Tahawi has classified it into two
