Question:
Is it wise in calling to tawhid (the oneness of Allah) to speak to people about the disagreements that have occurred between the people of the Sunnah and the community and the misguided sects, and to mention their beliefs and delve into the details of the creed?
Answer:
It is necessary to make tawhid (the oneness of Allah) clear to people: what is tawhid? And it is necessary to make clear to people what shirk (associating partners with Allah) is so that they avoid shirk, because if they do not know shirk, they will fall into it. It is necessary to make clear to them tawhid: what does it mean? What does shirk mean? So that they are upon clear understanding. This is the obligatory duty: to make clear to them shirk, its types, and its causes, and to make clear to them tawhid and the types of tawhid. He explains this to them so that they are upon clear knowledge of matters of their religion. This is among the most important matters and the most obligatory duties: making tawhid clear and making shirk clear to people so that they avoid these things.
Likewise, it is obligatory to mention the deviant sects, such as the Jahmiyyah, the Mu'tazilah, and the Qadariyyah, and the misguided sects, so that they avoid their ways and are warned against them. Because if they do not know them, and they claim Islam and that they are Muslims, and they do not know these ways and these schools of thought, they may be deceived by them and think that they are upon the truth. Yes.
