Giving creed its due attention does not mean neglecting the rest of the Divine Law—acts of worship, personal conduct, dealings, and moral character:

I must repeat that when I speak of setting out what is most essential, then what is important, and then what is of lesser priority, I do not intend that preachers limit themselves solely to calling people to this blessed phrase and explaining its meaning, now that Allah has perfected His religion and completed His favor upon us. Rather, such preachers are required to carry Islam as an indivisible whole.

Thus, after clarifying— in essence— that Islamic callers must truly prioritize the most important element Islam has brought, namely instructing Muslims in the sound creed that issues from the blessed phrase lā ilāha illā Allāh (there is no deity truly worthy of worship except Allah), I wish to draw attention to the fact that this clarification is not meant for the Muslim merely to understand that its meaning is: nothing deserves worship in all existence except Allah alone. It also demands that he grasp the forms of worship by which our Lord is to be worshipped and that none of them may be directed to any of Allah’s servants whatsoever. This detail must be explained alongside the concise meaning of that blessed phrase. It will therefore be beneficial for me to cite one example—or perhaps more than one, as seems appropriate—because a purely general statement is not sufficient.
