I received this email from International Open University. Subhanallah, I wish I had kept the date, but I wish to share the contents:
Assalamu alaykum warahmutallahi wabarakatuh.
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Believe it or not but most underrated aspect of Islam is Aqeedah and the Muslims are careless about learning and spreading it!
If you don’t agree with the above statement, then why do you think that even bringing the topic of correct Aqeedah up for a discussion is considered a taboo by the majority of us Muslims today?
Dear Brothers and Sisters, know that correct Aqueedah based on the Qur’an and Sunnah is the first and foremost condition for the victory in the Hereafter!
One might be able to manage to enter Jennah despite having countless sins if their Aqeedah is correct, but nobody is going to enter Jennah without the correct Aqeedah, no matter how pious they were and how many good deeds they did. Period. It is that simple.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, therefore, learning the correct Aqeedah is extremely important and spreading it is better than possessing abundance of wealth. The Prophet, sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam, said, ‘by Allah, Subhana-hu wa-Ta’ala,, if Allah, Subhana-hu wa-Ta’ala, gives guidance to somebody through you, it is better for you than possessing red camels.’ (Sahih al-Bukhari &Sahih Muslim).

While this email was used as a fundraising email, the words used were so powerful that I printed it out and have kept it.
