The Prophets' Methodology in Calling to Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Abu Salem, says: Shaykh, he has a set of questions. He says: Tell us about the methodology of the prophets in calling to Allah, and in the straight path,

Answer:
As Allah mentioned in His saying:
Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best.ادْعُ إِلَىٰ سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَالْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ وَجَادِلْهُم بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ
[An-Nahl 16:125]
It begins with tawhid (the oneness of Allah). The prophets first began with tawhid and correcting the creed. Every prophet said to his people:
O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Himيَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرُهُ
[Al-A'raf 7:59]
Our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began with tawhid; he called to tawhid. So the beginning is with tawhid, and correcting the creed first. Yes.
