Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Sulayman asks: What is the status of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) among all other acts of worship, with an explanation of the virtue of tawhid?
Answer:
Tawhid is the foundation. Acts of worship are not valid unless tawhid is realized, and Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is singled out in worship, while the worship of anything other than Him is abandoned, and the worship is free from bid'ah (religious innovations) and newly invented matters. Indeed, deeds are not accepted except with two conditions: sincerity to Allah in them, and following the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). These two conditions are necessary, and the Muslim should always reflect upon them. Yes.
