The Shaykh’s mention of the two great foundations upon which Islam is established, namely the oneness of Allah in worship and the exclusive following of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).

The Shaykh : There is no disagreement among the scholars of the Muslims, all of them, that Islam is established upon two great foundations and two major principles, namely the oneness of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) in worship and the exclusive following and emulation of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family). As for the oneness of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) in worship, discussing it is like what is said: "carrying dates to Hajar", for you are all, if Allah wills, in no need of delving into this great topic.
