Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: O our Shaykh, how is the realization of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) achieved?
Answer:
Establishing tawhid (the oneness of Allah) means purifying it from the impurities of shirk (associating partners with Allah), bid'ah (religious innovation), and sins. This is establishing tawhid, and it is a rank above tawhid. There is the one who affirms tawhid, and there is the one who establishes tawhid. The one who establishes it is of a higher rank; he enters Paradise without reckoning and without punishment. If he establishes tawhid, he enters Paradise without reckoning and without punishment. Yes. As for the one who affirms tawhid, he may be subjected to reckoning and may be subjected to punishment, but his ultimate destination is Paradise. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
