Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I am a new Muslim. How do I realize the word of tawhid (the oneness of Allah), "La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammadun rasul Allah" (There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah), since I need to be informed about it? And what is meant by it?
Answer:
Read the creed, my brother. Read the Islamic creed from one of the scholars, and they will explain it to you and clarify it. There are clear summaries on the creed, such as *Al-Usool ath-Thalathah* (The Three Fundamentals) by Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab, and *Al-'Aqidah al-Wasitiyyah* (The Middle Creed) by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah. Read these, as well as the book *Al-Tawhid* (The Oneness of Allah) by Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab. These are books on the creed. Read them with the people of knowledge, and ask them about whatever is difficult for you. The truth will become clear to you if your intention is sincere. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you.
