Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner, a resident of Riyadh, asks: How does a Muslim establish the oneness of Allah (tawhid) if he is in a land where religious innovations (bid'ah) and superstitions are prevalent? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. A person establishes the oneness of Allah (tawhid) if Allah the Exalted guides him to avoid major shirk (associating partners with Allah) and minor shirk, and to avoid religious innovations (bid'ah), sins, and transgressions. If he reaches this level, he has established the oneness of Allah. Yes.
