How to Achieve Tawhid (the Oneness of Allah) in the Current Era

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah bless you and your knowledge, and we ask Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) to benefit us with this meeting and to make us all among those who listen to the statement and then follow the best of it. To begin, may Allah preserve you, we start this meeting with what the brother Abd al-Rahman sent. He says: Honorable Shaykh Abd al-Salih, how is tawhid (the oneness of Allah) achieved in our current era, while some scenes still exist in some Islamic countries, such as circumambulating graves and the like?

Answer:
(1) In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. (2) [All] praise is [due] to Allah, Lord of the worlds -بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
[Al-Fatihah 1:1-2]
And may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. Tawhid (the oneness of Allah) is achieved in our present era in the same way it was achieved in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the time of his Companions, the Rightly Guided Caliphs, and those who came after them from the best of the generations, and the Tabi'un (the generation after the Companions) who followed them with excellence. It is the sincerity of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) for Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and disavowal of shirk (associating partners with Allah) in all its types, and disavowal of the mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah). In this way, tawhid (the oneness of Allah) is achieved, by the permission of Allah, even if there are some on earth who associate partners with Allah among those who claim to be Muslim, calling upon the awliya (close friends of Allah) and the righteous and the people of shrines. Indeed, praise be to Allah, there is a community of Muslims standing firm, whom those who fail them or oppose them do not harm, until the command of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) comes. And the earth is not devoid, praise be to Allah, of one standing for Allah with a proof, even if disagreement and corruption increase. Indeed, there is a group that remains upon the truth, supported, until the Hour stands, and praise be to Allah. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Doctor Salih
