Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad (Template:Lang-ar, Unification (Monotheism) and the Holy Struggle Group) was a radical Salafi militant group in the Sunni Iraqi insurgency which was led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
This group's name, which is usually abbreviated as JTJ or shortened to Tawhid wal-Jihad or Tawhid al-Jihad (or just Tawhid), purposely contrasted the strict monotheism of Islam with the "God in three persons" of the Christian Trinity, which it saw as polytheism.
In 2004, following the October 17 2004 Zarqawi's pledge of allegiance to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network, the group became known as al-Qaeda in Iraq (official name Tanzim Qai'dat al-Jihad fi Bilad al-Rafidayn).
