Beginning the call to the oneness of Allah in a place where the people of innovation are numerous
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A person is calling to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in a place where the people of innovation are numerous. He began with the virtues of deeds and left out the oneness of Allah so as not to be exposed to the enemies. Is this permissible?
This depends on whether the intention behind the call is guidance. If he sees that one of the means to that is not to confront them suddenly by denouncing the state of the oneness of Allah they are in, and he is determined to call them, but he wants to reassure them by mentioning prayer and encouraging it, along with zakah, fasting, and Hajj, and then afterwards he moves on to the oneness of Allah, then I hope there is no harm in that.
However, if he does not want to speak about the oneness of Allah at all, saying: I will not speak about it, this leads to evil, so this is not permissible. But if he makes this a ladder to reach the call to the oneness of Allah, then there is no harm.
I ask Allah the Exalted to make this a beneficial meeting, and to grant us and you success in what is good and righteous, for He is capable of all things.
