2. That you worship none but Allah [2]. Surely, I am a warner and a bearer of good news to you from Him.

The Only Remedy for Corruption in the Land is the Call to Tawheed:
This verse is also a detail of LAA ILAAHA ILLALLAH, that when there is no deity, that is, no true object of worship except Allah, then worship should be devoted to Him alone. This is the very command with which all the Prophets began their call, and it is clear that the Prophets were always sent at times when the inhabited world was filled with oppression and injustice—whether that oppression and injustice was related to filthy beliefs like disbelief and polytheism, or to character and actions. In any case, whatever forms corruption in the land may take, the only and fundamental remedy for all of them is that people should be invited to the pure worship of the One Allah, and that true recognition of Allah should be instilled in them. Then, those who refuse to accept this call should be warned of their evil end in this world and the Hereafter, and those who accept it and act according to its requirements should be given glad tidings of success in this world and the Hereafter.
