The ruling on the statement that one should not call to the da'wah of Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the brothers says: My question is that some people say, "Do not call to the da'wah of Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him), but rather call only to the Book and the Sunnah, because this thing drives people away from you." What is your opinion of this statement? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Did the Shaykh call to anything other than the Book and the Sunnah? The Shaykh's da'wah is the da'wah of the Book and the Sunnah, and praise be to Allah. His book is Tawhid (the oneness of Allah), which begins with "In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy. The Book of Tawhid." And Allah the Exalted said:
And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ
[Adh-Dhariyat 51:56]
Did the Shaykh say this, or did Allah say it? Glory be to Allah! This statement is one for which its speaker will be held accountable, because it is a fabrication and a lie about the Shaykh's da'wah. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
