No One Diverts People From Tawheed Except For A Deviant Or Mushrik, by Shaikh Saalih al-Fawzaan (hafidhahullaah)

[dkSadiq.ibn.Owodunni]

JazaakAllaahu khayraa akhee. This reminds me of some points Shaykh 'Abdul-Qaadir al-Junaid (حفظه الله) mentioned* regarding how to recognize the callers to / people of innovation.

One of these he mentioned was that they give little importance and focus on Tawheed in their Da'wah.

He mentioned that in Saudi, where - alhamdulillaah - Tawheed is widespread, the 'Ulemaa' and callers upon the Sunnah still give importance to Tawheed. He gave an example that Imaam ibn Baaz رحمه الله would always mention Tawheed in his lectures. He mentioned that he once came across a tape of the Imaam and from the title / audience, he thought that he wouldn't talk about Tawheed; but on listening, the very first part of the Shaykh's talk was on Tawheed!

So he said, if that's the case in Saudi where Tawheed is widespread, then in the other Muslim countries where there is so much Shirk, it's even more important that the Callers in those countries give much importance to & focus on Tawheed.

And so a sign of a person of innovation is his little focus on Tawheed.

* This relatively brief talk was given while the brothers were waiting for dinner during one of the nights of the Dammam Dawrah. May Allah reward the Shaykh.
