The ruling on one who says that the word of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) is sufficient in mere utterance for applying its rulings in this world, without acting upon its conditions?

Question:
This is Abu Sa'd. He says: Your Eminence, Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan, some matters and questions regarding 'aqidah (creed) and tawhid (the oneness of Allah) have become unclear to me. First, what is the ruling on one who says that in this world, merely uttering "La ilaha illa Allah" is sufficient for applying its rulings, without its conditions?

Answer:
This is a false statement. "La ilaha illa Allah" has a meaning and it has the implication of its meaning: there is no deity worthy of worship in truth except Allah, and its implication is that nothing is to be worshipped except Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. "La ilah" means there is no deity worthy of worship in truth except Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. This is its meaning, and its implication is to make worship pure for Allah, Mighty and Majestic. There should be no showing off (riya') or seeking fame (sum'ah) in it, nor should there be any intention for a created being, whether living or dead. Rather, the prayer should be pure for Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Yes.
