The claim that there is no need to learn tawhid (the oneness of Allah) in these lands

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is your view of the one who says that it is not obligatory, or not important, to learn tawhid (the oneness of Allah) in these blessed lands, because there is no shirk (associating partners with Allah)?

Answer:
By Allah, they have neglected tawhid (the oneness of Allah), and you will become lower in status than the people in other lands. These lands have not been distinguished, and praise be to Allah, except by studying tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and teaching tawhid (the oneness of Allah); if they were to leave it, the jahiliyyah (the pre-Islamic age of ignorance) would return to them, just as it is in the other lands. This is a false statement, and one should not pay attention to it. Yes.
