Learning the true teachings of Islam(series)

September 5, 2026 | By Imam al-Azam Jabbi

You must not understand Tawhid and sunnah as tools creating hatred, extremism, division and declaring others non-Muslims.

Tawhid means affirming the absolute oneness of Allah. Do not use it to turn people into innovators, do not use Tawḥid as a weapon to declare people non-Muslims, And do not make Tawḥid a cause of hatred and division among the children of Adam.

وَلَقَدْ كَرَّمْنَا بَنِي آدَمَ

Indeed, We have honoured the children of Adam, and here Allah had installed universal human dignities in us. He didn’t say indeed we have honoured the Muslims but the children of Adam, which include all people of all beliefs, even people without religion.

After the above verse, the universal human dignities began to disappear in humanity by enslaving one another, worshipping objects and inequalities took place until Allah said

ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَاهُ أَسْفَلَ سَافِلِينَ

Then, We reduced him (man) to the lowest of the low.

After this stage Alllah sent His messagers to the mankind with لا إله إلا الله to liberate humanity, not as Wahabist sub-groups using it today to kill Muslims, non-Muslims kill even children in the name of Islam, They have made non-Muslims scared of Islam while the Prophet Muhammad lived with Jewish, Christian and polytheists in Medinah peacefully.

Tawhid or Sunnah doesn’t mean Arabization of our beautiful African culture, but it means declaration of an independence for all people.

Have you once asked yourselves who are the scholars in the West Africa fought for human liberation against imperialism Wahabist or Sufist?

Sunnah cannot means submitting to Arab cultures.
