Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is there any advice for students of knowledge to continue this blessed call, the call to tawhid (the oneness of Allah)? He says: Is there any advice for students of knowledge in continuing this blessed call, which is the call to tawhid (the oneness of Allah), given that we observe in this time the multiplication of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), the alienation of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and its people, and the scarcity of those who care for it and teach it outside this country?
Answer:
Without a doubt, the need is urgent at this particular time due to the abundance of evils, and because the enemies from among the disbelievers, the Jews, the Christians, the Zoroastrians, and others, are blowing up the enmity toward Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab and inciting the wretches against his call. However, this harms them and does not harm the call; rather, they harm themselves.
But you, may Allah reward you with good, since you have understood the situation and are certain of this, and praise be to Allah, you must do what you can to call people[An-Nahl 16:125] and take the Shaykh's letters, publish them, and translate them into their languages so that they know what the Shaykh stands for, because most of them are deceived and do not know about the Shaykh. They have an image of the Shaykh that he is like Pharaoh, and they do not know; they believe it when they are told such things. But if you bring from the Shaykh's words, his letters, and his call, the truth will become clear, praise be to Allah. Yes.
