Question:
A questioner asks: Is what befalls the Muslims because of their sins due to their distance from the creed of tawhid (the oneness of Allah), and their falling into forbidden acts and major sins?
Answer:
The one who is far from the creed of tawhid is not a Muslim, my brother. The one who is far from the creed of tawhid is not a Muslim. This is greater than the sins and disobedience they have.

May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
