The Ruling on Discouraging the Study of Tawhid
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What is your opinion of one who discourages people from learning tawhid (the oneness of Allah), and says that tawhid is understood by children in schools, and that it does not require holding lessons for its sake?
The Shaykh:
I ask him: Tell him, what is the meaning of tawhid? You will not find an answer from him. Tell him, explain tawhid to me, what is it? Explain shirk (associating partners with Allah) to me, what does it mean? You will not find an answer from him. This is the one who says such things. As for the one who knows tawhid and knows shirk, he urges people to tawhid and to learning tawhid, and forbids shirk. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
We challenge him to explain tawhid to us in the correct manner, in the correct manner.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
