The Call to Tawhid (the Oneness of Allah) and the Dividing of Ranks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If the call to tawhid (the oneness of Allah) divides the ranks among the Muslims
Answer:
The ranks have never united as long as there is no tawhid. There is no unity; what unites people is only the belief in tawhid, which united Salman al-Farisi, Suhaib al-Rumi, and Bilal al-Habashi with Abu Bakr, 'Umar, 'Uthman, and the leaders of Quraysh, making them brothers in Allah through the belief in tawhid. Before that, they were divided in their worship, in their objects of worship, hostile to one another and at odds. So, only tawhid unites people, tawhid. It unites and does not divide. What divides is shirk (associating partners with Allah) and false beliefs; these are what divide people. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
