Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner asks: Is this phrase permissible, the tawhid (oneness of Allah) of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) through following him?
Answer:
Who said "tawhid of the Messenger"? Say "singling out the Messenger for following," meaning do not follow anyone other than the Messenger; leave off innovations and newly invented matters. The model is the Messenger alone, and what came from him (peace and blessings be upon him), because the word "tawhid" is misleading, suggesting it is a type of worship. Say "singling out the Messenger for following and emulation."
