Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Who says that tawhid (the oneness of Allah) alone is not sufficient to cure the diseases of society, but rather it is necessary to admonish the people and remind them of the sins and transgressions occurring in society, is his statement correct?
Answer:
Yes, it is not sufficient to limit oneself to tawhid (the oneness of Allah) only. Tawhid is the foundation and the prerequisite, but along with tawhid, one must point out the errors that occur. The other matters should be included so that the da'wah (calling to Islam) is comprehensive. So, this and that, yes.
