Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: The book *Tawhid* by Imam Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab has a chapter titled "What Came Regarding the Protection of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) of the Sanctuary of Tawhid." Is it not possible to say that the Kingdom, which spreads tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and the correct creed and defends it, is protecting the sanctuary of tawhid, contrary to what the people of misguidance and corruption spread about it?
Answer:
Yes, and this is[Yusuf 12:38], a favor from Allah upon us that He granted us this blessed call, the call of the Shaykh, the Imam, the reformer, Shaykh al-Islam Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab. He called to the tawhid of Allah and authored a book on that, he authored the book *Tawhid* on that.
It consists of a verse, a hadith, or the words of the reliable scholars; you will find nothing else in it. It contains no philosophies and no sayings that scatter the mind. As you know, it begins with the chapter on the Book of Tawhid (the oneness of Allah), and the words of Allah the Exalted:[Adh-Dhariyat 51:56]. Along with the verses come authentic hadiths that explain the Qur'an and point to it.
So this book is a great book by which Allah benefited and saved this land, and by which He saved other lands. It spread, and praise be to Allah, in the Islamic world. It spread in the Islamic world, and praise be to Allah, and many people held fast to it. And they knew their creed. And they were warned against what confuses this creed or corrupts it or diminishes it. So this book contains much good. And it has a great virtue. Its reward returns to this reforming Imam, and its good effect returns to us, and praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
