The Impact of the Deficiency in Teaching Tawhid on Society
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
With the scarcity. Yes, you have introduced us. Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you. If the teaching of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) decreases in the mosques, in the sermons, or on the minbars during the congregations, and ignorance of the meaning of tawhid begins to increase, alongside the cultural invasion that affects tawhid, is the prevalence of ignorance and the negligence of scholars and students of knowledge in teaching tawhid more harmful and dangerous to society and the security of society? Or is the emergence, spread, and increase of evil in society more dangerous and harmful to the society and its marker?
Answer:
There is no doubt that the foundation and the original basis is tawhid, so we must pay attention to tawhid, and to establishing it, explaining it, and teaching it in the mosques, in the schools, in the lectures, and in the seminars. Tawhid must be the foundation. All sins become trivial compared to abandoning tawhid. If tawhid is disrupted, nothing remains. Tawhid is the foundation; we must pay attention to it, convey it, and the Friday preacher must explain it, the mosque imam must explain it, the teacher must explain it, and the head of the household must explain it to his children and to those under his care. Exhort one another to truth and exhort one another to patience. This is necessary; we must pay attention to this matter.
And we must pass it on to our children, our neighbors, those around us, and the people of our town, and indeed, convey it to the world, with the ability to do so, to the entire world. And the means, praise be to Allah, are in our hands. Yes.
