The statement of one who learns tawhid (the oneness of Allah) in ten minutes

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is your opinion of the one who says, "I learn tawhid (the oneness of Allah) in ten minutes"?

Answer:
By Allah, it is good if it happens that he learns tawhid (the oneness of Allah) in ten minutes; this may be an inspiration from Allah, and it could be a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person). But tawhid (the oneness of Allah) has details, branches, and subdivisions, and it requires continuous learning. No one can encompass all knowledge, neither in tawhid (the oneness of Allah) nor in anything else.
And mankind have not been given of knowledge except a little."وَمَا أُوتِيتُم مِّنَ الْعِلْمِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا
[Al-Isra 17:85]
but over every possessor of knowledgeوَفَوْقَ كُلِّ ذِي عِلْمٍ
[Yusuf 12:76]
[He is] All-Knowing. So knowledge, especially in tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and in general, is vast, and no one can encompass it. But each person takes from it what Allah makes easy for him, and he should not magnify himself and claim that he has reached a level where he does not need any more. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
