Do the prophets and messengers differ in tawhid (the oneness of Allah)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Why do the messengers and prophets differ in tawhid (the oneness of Allah)?

The Shaykh : In tawhid (the oneness of Allah), they do not differ, but they differ in conveying the message.

The questioner : Yes, but it was mentioned in the phrase.

The Shaykh: Listen, listen.

The questioner : As I mentioned.

The Shaykh : Listen.

The questioner: Go ahead.

The Shaykh : The prophets and messengers do not differ in tawhid (the oneness of Allah), but they differ in conveying the message. The messengers convey to the people what Allah revealed to them in their books and scrolls. The prophets convey to the people what is in these scrolls. The prophets were not sent a book, nor were scrolls revealed to them; so they convey to the Muslims of their time, or to the people of their time, what Allah revealed to the messengers who came before them.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : This is the difference; as for tawhid (the oneness of Allah), there is no difference.

Another questioner : Our Shaykh, a question if you please.

The Shaykh: Yes.
