The Methodology of the Prophets and Messengers in Calling to Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is Abu Salih saying: Shaykh, what is the methodology of the Prophets and Messengers in calling to Allah?

Answer:
Yes, their methodology is to begin with tawhid (the oneness of Allah). Every Messenger said to his people:
O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Himيَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرُهُ
[Al-A'raf 7:59]
. They begin the call with tawhid. Then, after tawhid, they command prayer, fasting, the pillars of Islam, and righteous deeds. Because deeds without tawhid are not accepted and are like scattered dust, the Messengers, reformers, and callers to Allah begin with the call to tawhid until it is firmly established in people and they know the correct creed. Then they teach them the rest of the Shari'ah (Islamic sacred law) of Islam. Yes.
