Emphasis on Islamic Unity and Monotheism
This statement emphasizes that monotheism is not merely a word but a covenant between the servants and their Lord. Bahraini scholars called upon all believers to uphold the word of monotheism [There is no god but Allah] as a collective slogan and to spread this word across all social media and pulpits. They believe that this word is a response that has no answer after it and must be expressed peacefully and consciously.
Bahraini scholars also urged the ruling authority to reconsider and retract its recent decisions. They deemed this necessary and emphasized that a Muslim is not asked to prioritize the will of a creature over the will of the Creator. At the end of the statement, Quranic verses and sacred hadiths are mentioned that emphasize the importance of monotheism and adherence to divine rulings.
In summary, by issuing this statement, Bahraini scholars seek to create unity among Muslims and emphasize the principles of true religion. They hope that through mutual cooperation, they can preserve divine law and the principles of monotheism and stand against incorrect decisions.
