Commentary:

The Oneness of Allah (tawhid)
0:30
is the foremost of the religious commandments and the most deserving of our attention.
0:34
As for associating partners with Him,
0:36
it is the greatest of major sins, the most heinous of evils, and the most detestable of all wrongs.
0:41
Therefore, the most essential of all duties
0:45
is that we learn tawhid so that we may draw closer to Allah through it,
0:49
and that we understand shirk so that we may avoid it and be wary of it.
