(The definition of disbelief according to the people of the Oneness of Existence, and their claim that the reason for the disbelief of the Jews and Christians is that they restricted the Divine to one, and if they had generalized, they would have been believers)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : I seek refuge in Allah. They say that disbelief is guidance, the religion of the Majus, the Christians, and the polytheists. Well, they did not worship anyone other than Allah. The one who worships Isa, fire, cows, trees, and stones did not worship anyone but Allah, because they say that all of existence is Allah. So they did not worship anyone but Allah, but they went astray in one aspect, which is that they restricted their worship to one entity in this universe. If they had worshipped the entire universe, they would have been more perfect in guidance, and they would have been, may Allah protect us, the ones upon the truth. But we say to the one who worships Hubal, al-Lat, and al-Uzza: You erred in restriction. You worship these specific entities. Worship everything so that you are a realized one in worship. As for restricting, that is misguidance. This is their claim, I seek refuge in Allah. Yes.
Well, what is disbelief? It is veiling the reality of the worshipped by restriction. This is disbelief: veiling the reality of the worshipped. What is the reality of the worshipped in their view? Everything. So if you worship one, yes, you have committed disbelief because you veiled the reality of the worshipped, because the worshipped is everything. Yes.
