Advice to Preachers on Beginning with the Call to Tawhid

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: What is your advice to the preachers to Allah the Exalted who begin with the call to tawhid (the oneness of Allah) before explaining the rulings of the Shari'ah to the people?

Answer:
This is the method of the Messengers (peace be upon them). The Messengers first began with tawhid. Every Messenger said:
O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Himيَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرُهُ
[Hud 11:84]
Every Messenger began with this, the call to tawhid. Our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) first began with tawhid, so he resided in Makkah for thirteen years calling to tawhid. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Excellency the Shaykh.
