This paper aimed at looking into various practices along with Islamic monotheism (Islamic faith) among the Ebira Muslims, with the view of bringing out the real concept of Islamic monotheism (Tawid) i.e oneness of Allah as the major priority of the perspective of Qur’an and hadith. The study revealed that there is a prevalence of religious heterogeneity practices among many Ebira Muslims which if a continuous awareness and campaign is not carried out against may lead these Muslims earning nothing on the day of reckoning.
