Question:
The second point in his letter says: I hope that our honorable scholar, Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan, will tell us about the term tawhid (the oneness of Allah) as understood by the theologians.
Answer:
The term tawhid (the oneness of Allah) as understood by the theologians. They interpreted it using terms from the science of kalam (theology), the science of logic, and so on, rather than its true interpretation. As for the people of faith and the people of the Sunnah and the community, they interpret it by saying that tawhid is singling out Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) in worship. This is tawhid: singling out Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) in worship. Allah the Exalted said:[Adh-Dhariyat 51:56] Allah the Exalted said: "So worship Me and do not associate anything with Me." This is the true tawhid: singling out Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) in worship. This is its correct definition. Yes.
