Question:
This questioner says: Some callers to Islam say that we must call people to the tawhid of sovereignty, and once that is established, the tawhid of servitude will be established, and we will thereby get rid of the graves. Is this...
Answer:
...a false statement? This is a false statement. We call people to worship Allah first and foremost, and among the worship of Allah is submitting to His Shari'ah. We do not take only the submission and leave the worship, saying that people are free in their beliefs, that they say this or that, or that some say this. People are not free in their beliefs. We say: No, they are not free. Allah did not send the Messengers, reveal the Books, and legislate jihad against the mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah) for them to be free. Yes.
