Question:
This questioner says: One of the callers to Allah in France says that calling to tawhid (the oneness of Allah) is a bid'ah (religious innovation). How do we respond to that?
Answer:
If calling to tawhid (the oneness of Allah) is a bid'ah (religious innovation), that means the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was an innovator on the day he called to tawhid (the oneness of Allah), and Noah (peace be upon him) as well as those who came after him.[Al-Mu'minun 23:23] This is an innovator. He does not know what he is saying. We ask Allah for safety. Yes.

O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him
يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرُهُ
