The Need to Teach Tawhid in Our Time
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people say in this age that there is no need for such a thing, that people know tawhid (the oneness of Allah), and that there is no longer any need to teach tawhid. Do all people know tawhid?
Answer:
Those in the Shaykh's time knew more than these people do. And yet, the Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) and the Shaykh's followers warned against them. Not everyone who knows the truth acts upon it; desire may lead him to contradict it, or he may have worldly ambitions that he preserves even at the expense of his religion, may Allah protect us from that. Yes.
