Understanding Tawheed | Swindon Jamia Masjid | 13/03/2026

In this powerful reminder, we explore the foundation of Islam — Aqeedah, the belief system upon which all acts of worship stand. The speaker explains why Tawheed is the first pillar before Salah, Zakat, Sawm or Hajj, and why actions without correct belief are ultimately void. Drawing from the example of Ibrahim (AS), the lecture highlights how all prophets were sent to correct corrupted beliefs and bring people back to pure monotheism. The talk also addresses contemporary issues, including misconceptions around Muslim unity, differences in belief systems, and how to maintain a balanced stance when political and religious matters intersect. While supporting the oppressed globally, Muslims must remain firm on the core principles of belief.
