"Allah t’ala is far removed from the likes of this. But if there was another
god alongside Allah to share with Him inside of His Sovereignty, then this
other god will have creation and will have action. There will be certain things
inside of the universe that will be autonomous in. From that standpoint, he
will not be pleased to share, but rather he will want to take ownership of his
portion. He would not want to share his portion but rather he would want to
take ownership of his own portion.
If he was able to defeat his partner, then he would defeat him until he was the
sole owner and there was no other god other than him. If he can do that, then
he would have done it. And if he wasn’t able to get rid of the
‘competition’, then he would have separated himself with his portion and
percentage of the dominion and of the creation. He would have taken what he
created, and his portion of the dominion and he would have separated himself
into his own kingdom. Just like the kings in this world, they separate
themselves from one another and they are autonomous to one another with regards
to their kingdom.
You don’t find countries saying
'Let's share.' You don't find America going to Canada saying, 'Hey let's share
America. Hey Mexico, let's share America.' You don't find the Mexicans saying,
'Hey America let's share Mexico.' No everybody takes ownership of their own
portion. They say 'That's Mexico. That's America. That's Canada. You got your
leadership, we got our leadership, they got their leadership, you keep your
boundary, we keep our boundary'
and so on and so forth.
This is how it is with the kings in the dunya, so would it be plausible to
believe that there are multiple gods and every god would not want to do this?
'Okay the sun is yours you can deal with the sun and I'll deal with the moon.'
You won't survive! What if the god of the sun decided, 'I want the sun to come
to the moon.' Or what if there was another god that made human beings say 'I
want the sun to come up or the things that I make are going to die.' 'Oh well!
I don't want the sun to come up. Make me!'
Then what? How are we here? The fact that we are here means that’s not the
case, there is only One God. There is only Allah subhanu’wa’tala and Allah
says,
Each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have tried
to overcome others! (Surah Al-Mu’minun 23:91)
That has not happened, so we realize then what? Because there is only One God,
and that’s Allah subhanu’wa’tala.

No son (or offspring or children) did Allah beget, nor is there any ilah (god)
along with Him; (if there had been many gods), behold, each god would have
taken away what he had created, and some would have tried to overcome others!
Glorified be Allah above all that they attribute to Him! (Surah Al-Mu’minun
23:91)
"This is a proof against all of the pagans, all of the ones who believe in this
paganistic mythology."
“When you look to the mythology, whether it is the Greek Mythology or Roman
Mythology or the Hindu Mythology, you find this is that. The gods are at war
with each other. This god will try to take the thing of that god and this god
will try to do that…you understand? If this had anything to do with reality,
could the universe survive if the gods are fighting each other?
I’ll give you a small example: If you go into a kindergarten classroom
amongst little kids, and then grown strong strapping men break out into a brawl
battle royale, are those kids going to be safe? No, they are all going to be
hurt. If a brawl breaks out those kids are in trouble. There is no order, there
is going to be total chaos. And we’re just human beings fighting each other
over nothing. So is this concept even plausible that there will be order inside
of the universe? Yet there are multiple gods out there fighting each other?”

Isra 17:44
“Everything glorifies Allah subhanu’wa’tala, but you do not understand
how they glorify Allah. So the animals they glorify Allah subhanu’wa’tala.
If anyone has a house cat in the house, then know that your cat glorifies Allah
subhanu’wa’tala. How? Allahu’alam (Allah knows best). Allah tells us in
this ayat, that you don’t understand their tasbeeh (how they glorify Allah).
But they glorify Allah. So the birds they glorify Allah. How? We don’t
understand it. But they glorify Allah. Crocodiles and alligators, they glorify
Allah.
So all of these created things, those who are mute, and those who do not have
the ability to speak, those who are alive and those who are dead, all of them
they are obedient to Allah and they comply with His universal commands. So if
someone asks, ‘Even a kaafir (disbeliever) obeys Him like this?’ Yes! The
Shaykh mentions those who are alive and those who are dead. Death is something
that Allah has written upon all of His creatures. So we die. With regards to
those disbelievers, and even many of the Muslims, do they want to die? Do they?
Most people in the world, do they want to die? No. Emphatically no. They do not
want to die. But every day are not a great number of people dying? Yes. They
have no choice. When it’s time for them to die they have no choice but to
comply. So everything has to be obedient to the universal commands of Allah.
Because if not, people won’t die. People won’t get sick. Do you want to get
sick? No. But this is what Allah has decreed upon them. So they get sick. They
have no choice. Bad things happen. This is the Qadr. They have no choice. Qadr
Allah wa’maa shaa fa’al.”

"Yes but only with the condition that it has to be connected to something
specific.
For example:
Rabbu'daar (the lord [head] of the household)
Rabbul fir'ras (the lord of stable/horses)
When it comes to this context, the meaning of it is, the owner of it (ie: the
owner of the animals, the owner of the camel: Rabbul 3eebi), Rabbul bayt
(father of the household).
The evidence is when Yusuf alayhi salam said: "Mention me to your lord (i.e.
your king, so as to get me out of the prison)." (Surah Yusuf 12:42)
And the king said: "Bring him to me." But when the messenger came to him,
[Yusuf (Joseph)] said: "Return to your lord and ask him, 'What happened to the
women who cut their hands? Surely, my Lord (Allah) is Well-Aware of their plot.
(Surah Yusuf 12:50)
This is what got the Christians in trouble, and what got them to build their
deen upon a false aqeedah (creed/fundamentals). Because they have bad
translations. Either maliciously or mistakenly.
Because if you say Rabbul daar or Rabbul bayt, then it should be translated as
"father". But if you were to just say "ar-Rabb" by itself, then this is only
used to refer to Allah. We would never translate this as father, in no context
would we ever translate this as 'father'.
And Allah informs us of what Eesa alayhi salam said, 'Iesa (Jesus) said: "And
verily Allah is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him (Alone). That is the
Straight Path. (Allah's Religion of Islamic Monotheism which He did ordain for
all of His Prophets)." (Surah Maryam 19:36)
But somebody came and mistranslated that. As opposed to saying "Verily Allah is
my Lord and your Lord", instead of saying 'Lord' they put in 'father'. It's
never 'father' unless it comes connected to a house (ie: Rabbul bayt, Rabbul
Daar), but in the context of Eesa alayhi salam, 'Rabb' here can never mean
father.
And then when they are asked, "Where is the original?" They don't have it. They
will give you something in Latin. Eesa alayhi salam, he didn't speak Latin.
Then they have some manuscripts in Greek somewhere, he didn't speak Greek. Or
whatever language they translated it in. But if you ask them, "Where is the
original?" They don't have it. How can you base your whole religion upon
conjecture? You can't even verify the facts." - Abu ‘Abdis Salaam Siddiq Al

What does 'Rabbul al'ameen' (Lord of all that exists) mean?
He is the one who created us.
He is our owner.
He rectifies our affairs.
He saves us out of His bounty by sending His Messengers, His Books.
He is the one who will reward us or punish us for our deeds.

What is the evidence that 'La Ilaha Illah Allah' does not translate to "There
is no God but Allah", but rather, "There is none worthy of worship in truth
except Allah"?
Say "In Whose Hand is the sovereignty of everything (i.e. treasures of each and
everything)? And He protects (all), while against Whom there is no protector,
(i.e. if Allah saves anyone none can punish or harm him, and if Allah punishes
or harms anyone none can save him), if you know." They will say: "(All that
belongs) to Allah." Say: "How then are you deceived and turn away from the
truth?" Nay, but We have brought them the truth (Islamic Monotheism), and
verily, they (disbelievers) are liars.
(Surah Al-Mu'minun 23:88-90)
Once a person has acknowledged the Ruboobiyyah of Allah being alone in His
actions (that Allah is the only Creator, the only Sustainer, the only One who
gives life, the only One who causes death, the only Arranger of the affairs,
etc.) then the sound mind has to acknowledge that all worship belongs to Allah
alone. because the Creator, He is the only One who deserves worship alone. the
Sustainer, He is the only one who deserves worship alone. the One who arranges
the affairs, brings the night, brings the day, He is the One who deserves
worship alone. the One who has subjected the sun and moon and the stars to His
command, He is the one that's the only One who deserves worship alone. nothing
else.
so we see from these ayats that these disbelievers agree with Tawheed
ar-Ruboobiyyah (Allah's Lordship and Actions), but yet they were still kuffar
(disbelievers). So the statement "La Ilaha Illah Allah" which distinguishes
between disbelief and true faith, cannot translate to only 'There is no God
except Allah', because if a person believes in that alone that is not enough
for them to be Muslim (since Allah rejected the ones who only believe in His
Lordship yet worship others).

Indeed your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in Six Days,
and then He Istawa (rose over) the Throne (really in a manner that suits His
Majesty). He brings the night as a cover over the day, seeking it rapidly, and
(He created) the sun, the moon, the stars subjected to His Command. Surely, His
is the Creation and Commandment. Blessed be Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin
(mankind, jinns and all that exists)! (Surah Al-A'raf 7:54)
Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (rahimahullah) commented on this ayat saying, Allah made
the distinction “Creation and Commandment”, so we understand that the
Commandment is not from the creation, they are two different things.
Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) said, the “Commandment" is referring
to the Qu’ran. And this is another evidence that the Qu’ran is the Speech
of Allah, and it is not created, because Allah distinguishes it from the
creation.

What is Tawheed ar-Ruboobiyyah?
It is to single out Allah with regards to His Actions, His Lordship:
1. To believe He is One, and He is the only Creator of everything that exists
(there is nothing in the creation except that Allah subhanu’wa’tala is the
Creator of it).
Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is, over all things, Disposer of
affairs. (Surah Az-Zumar 39:62).
2. That He is the sustainer of all animals, all human beings, and other than
that.
And there is no creature on earth but that upon Allah is its provision, and He
knows its place of dwelling and place of storage. All is in a clear register.
(Surah Hud 11:6)
3. That Allah is the arranger of the affairs of the entire world (all of it):
the One that arranges that some have children while others are barren, the One
who honours some and puts down others, and that Allah has the ability to do all
things. That He moves the day and night, and that He is the one that gives life
and He gives death.
Say (O Muhammad sallalahu alayhi wa’sallam): “O Allah! Possessor of the
kingdom, You give the kingdom to whom You will, and You take the kingdom from
whom You will, and You endue with honour whom You will, and You humiliate whom
You will. In Your Hand is the good. Verily, You are Able to do all things. You
make the night to enter into the day, and You make the day to enter into the
night (i.e. increase and decrease in the hours of the night and the day during
winter and summer), You bring the living out of the dead, and You bring the
dead out of the living. And You give wealth and sustenance to whom You will,
without limit (measure or account). (Surah Ali-Imran 3:26-27)
If one reflects upon all of these things, they will realize that they are
connected to the Actions of Allah subhanu’wa’tala (He gives to one, takes
from one, raises someone, lowers someone, gives someone children, makes another
one barren, brings the night, brings the day, gives life, gives death, etc.).

And He gave you of all that you asked for, and if you count the Blessings of
Allah, never will you be able to count them. (Surat 'Ibrahim 14:34)
"Everything we need to survive, Allah has given to us. Everything. From the way
in which our eye works. How it expands and contracts based on the light
conditions, Allah has given that to us. The ability to hear, to see, to smell,
Allah has given that to us.
The ability to have children, Allah has given that to us. Just think about the
ability to have children. If Allah took away from human beings the ability to
have children what would happen? There would be no more human beings after the
last person has died. But Allah has given us what we need to survive.
The intellect which a person has, Allah has given that to human beings. The
adaptability of human beings to different climates, Allah has given that to
human beings. If you take people from the middle of the inner city and you put
him in the wilderness and so forth, he will figure out certain ways to get by,
Allah has put that inside of the human beings and blessed them with that.”

“A common misbelief that circulates amongst the people is the misbelief that
‘Allah is everywhere’. This is a misbelief. Allah is above the creation
because He says, “The Most Beneficent (Allah) Istawa (rose over) the (Mighty)
Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty).” (Surah Taha 20:5) Then you
explain to them the implication that this statement entails and in most cases
you see a response that indictive of a person who really doesn’t know and
never really thought about it. Because if you say to them, ‘If you say Allah
is everywhere, do you understand that everywhere means everywhere? Do you
really understand what you are saying? What about the garbage can? What about
the garbage dump? What about inside the pig? What about these places?” And
then you see they never really thought about it before, they just blind follow
what they heard. And this is how you can go astray from the proper aqeedah by
just repeating what you hear without knowing any proofs and evidences.”

a small benefit from today’s Al-Ha’yyiah class on Qadr.
Ibn Qayyim (rahimahullah) said that people can see the vast majority of what
they can see beyond they can fathom. In other words, all the things that are
happening in one’s life that one can understand, they should be grateful for
it. As for all the the little bit they cannot understand, one should have good
thoughts and give the benefit of doubt to Allah that there is wisdom behind it.
If a human being is learning something from someone else (ie: a student is
learning from their teacher), but he sees the teacher doing something that he
does not understand, in their head they will think “i do not understand why
he just did this, but i am sure there is a reason behind it, and he knows what
he is doing, and perhaps one day i will learn why.” even if this teacher was
a kaafir (much like the professors at school who we learn of the dunya from),
we will still give them the benefit of the doubt because they are experts in
the field.
Then what about Allah? The human being is not free of mistakes. The human being
is not free of oppression. The human is not free of deception. The human being
does not love you and is not looking for your best interest, rather they are
often looking for their own best interest. Much like the professor is more
concerned about his salary than your education. So then why do we give this
benefit of the doubt to the person, but yet when a calamity befalls us, or
things do not go the way we wanted them to, why do we not in our mind think
that Allah, our Creator, the One free of all imperfections, the One who never
forgets, the One who has knowledge of everything, the One who oppresses no one,
the One who is the Most Just, the One who is the Most Wise, why do we think for
a second that He does not know better than us, and our narrow vision?

What does Allah mean when He says He will love us in "Allah will love you and
forgive you of your sins." (Al-Imran 3:31)?
unofficial quiz question #5 from The Salafee Creed and Manhaj (Class #2) by
Moosah Richardson
Allah explains what He means by this in:
"…till I love him, so I become his sense of hearing with which he hears, and
his sense of sight with which he sees, and his hand with which he grips, and
his leg with which he walks, and if he asks Me, I will give him, and if he asks
My protection (Refuge) I will protect him; and I do not hesitate to do anything
as I hesitate to take the soul of the believer, for he hates and I hate to
disappoint him." (Bukhari Book #76, Hadith #509)
The explanation of this hadeeth is that Allah will make it so that you will
hear things that are pleasing to Allah, and you will see and look upon things
that are pleasing to Allah only upon guidance from Allah. And if you reach your
hand out in permissible matters (i.e.: taking care of duties, fulfilling
obligations in matters that please Allah upon guidance) He will help you. And
Allah will facilitate for you to walk towards objects of obedience (i.e.: hajj)
and towards your goals that are pleasing to Allah upon guidance.

caused him to be locked up in the prison; but when Allah granted him knowledge

and that physical beauty does not mean anything."

Why is it necessary to affirm the Uluhiyyah of Allah in the shahaadah and not
just the Rububiyyah?
Affirming the Rububiyyah is not sufficient to enter into Islam and be upon
Tawheed. This is because even the polytheists in the time of the Prophet
(sallalahu alayhi wa’sallam) used to affirm and accept the Rububiyyah of
Allah.
And indeed if you ask them, “Who has created the heavens and the earth?”
They will surely say: “The All-Mighty, the All-Knower created them.” Who
has made for you the earth like a bed, and has made for you roads therein, in
order that you may find your way, And Who sends down water (rain) from the sky
in due measure. Then We revive a dead land therewith, and even so you will be
brought forth (from the dead), And Who has created all the pairs and has
appointed for you ships and cattle on which you ride, In order that you may
mount firmly on their backs, and then may remember the Favour of your Lord when
you mount thereon, and say: “Glory to Him who has subjected this to us, and
we could never have it (by our efforts).” And verily, to Our Lord we indeed
are to return! Yet they assign to some of His slaves a share with Him (by
pretending that He has children, and considering them as equals or co-partners
in worship with Him). [Surat Az-Sukhruf 43:9-15]
Yet they could not accept the uluhiyyah, and they would say these are only our
intercessors. They could not single out their worship to Allah alone, and that
is the reason they remained outside of Islam.
And they worship besides Allah things that hurt them not, nor profit them, and
they say: “These are our intercessors with Allah.” [Surat Yunus 10:18]
The Arabs at the time of the Prophet (sallalahu alayhi wa’sallam), could give
you off the top of the head a 1000 verses all matching and rhyming (that’s
how strong their Arabic was). They knew exactly what the statement La Ilaha
Illa Allah meant (that they would have to abandon their gods and their current
worship) and this is why they refused to accept it.

How do you reconcile between Tawhid Ar-Rububiyyah in “Allah is Alone in
ownership” and the affirmation of ownership for creatures amongst His
creation?
In other words how does one reconcile between Allah being singled out in having
ownership of all, and the following verses:
”Or (from that) whereof you hold keys.” (An-Nur 24:61)
”Except from their wives or (the captives and slaves) that their right hands
possess) (Al-Mu’minun 23:6)
Ownership is general: I own what I own but do not own what you own, while Allah
owns everything. Also, our ownership of something is not real ownership and I
can only do with it what the real Owner (Allah) permits. For example, I cannot
say to a $1 bill that I own, become a $1000 and it turns into a $1000.
