Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: You previously mentioned with us that Noah (peace be upon him) called his people to tawhid (the oneness of Allah) for a thousand years except fifty years. He says: And we have among us those who say, "Do not be strict in tawhid (the oneness of Allah), and do not divide the word of the Muslims." The default for Muslims is tawhid (the oneness of Allah). So what is the answer to this shubhah (doubtful matter)?
Answer:
This is a contradiction of the call of the Messengers (peace and blessings be upon them). The Messengers call to tawhid (the oneness of Allah), encourage it, and begin with it. This discourages the call to tawhid (the oneness of Allah). This is the method of the partisans who care about the methodologies of their groups and their partisanship, and do not care about tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and creed. This is a method of misguidance.
It is a contradiction of the method of the Messengers (peace and blessings be upon them), the method of the people of knowledge and the Salaf (the earliest generations), yes. So do not pay attention to it, and do not give it any weight. Rather, it is to be denounced; it is to be condemned. People are in need of lessons on tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and teaching tawhid (the oneness of Allah), because errors occur, ignorance occurs, and many matters occur. If the teaching of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) is abandoned, bid'ah (religious innovations), shirk (associating partners with Allah), and superstitions will spread among the people. Yes.
