Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on the one who says: Do not speak about tawhid (the oneness of Allah) so that the people do not become divided, because it causes division and scatters the word?
Answer:
Yes, it divides the people of misguidance; it divides the people of misguidance and the people of shirk (associating partners with Allah), and it does not divide the people of tawhid (the oneness of Allah); rather, it unites them. The people of tawhid and the Muslims are united by it, whereas the disbelievers, the mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah), and those who ally with them are driven away by tawhid. Yes, it divides them, and we want to divide them. We want to divide the people of misguidance, the people of kufr (disbelief), and the people of shirk, and we do not mix them with the Muslims. This is what we want. Yes.
