27 Explanation of the Three Principles by Abu Idrees

Covered in this lesson:

Question 50 – What is the opposite of Tawhīd ar-Rubūbīyyah (Tawhīd of Lordship)? – and its answer.

Additional notes:
- Shaykh Hāfidh Al-Hakamī’s (رحمه الله) answer – “To believe there is another Disposer of affairs alongside Allāh in any of the affairs of the regulation of the creation/world, whether it be bringing something into existence or removing something from existence, giving life or taking life, bringing about good (and benefit) or repelling evil (and harm), or it is to believe someone contends with Allāh with anything of the necessities or requirements of His Names and Attributes such as Knowledge of the Unseen (‘Ilmul-Ghaib), being Mighty, and justified pride through Greatness, Magnificence.”

- Daleel (evidences, proofs) from the Qur’ān for this answer – refer to ayāt; [35:2-3] [10:107], [39:38], [6:59], [27:65] and [2:255] and a daleel from the Sunnah with a hadīth from Sahīh Muslim mentioned.

- Explanation of Shaikh Najmī (رحمه الله) – if anyone believed there is someone who is a controller, regulator or disposer besides Allāh like the Sufiyyah, he is to be considered a mulhid (deviant). This person, their Shirk is greater than Abu Lahab and his likes because they didn’t believe this (unlike the Sufiyyah).

- If there was another partner with Allāh there would be great differing and conflict. If there had been other deities (and not just Allāh), there would have been chaos, glorified be Allāh above what they ascribe to Him.

- Explanation of Shaikh ‘Uthaymīn (رحمه الله) – As for Shirk in Rubūbīyyah, it is known that Allāh is the Creator, Owner, Disposer and Regulator of all affairs. The Owner and Regulator follows on from being The Creator.

- Those who made these statues, pictures, forms, it will be said to them (in the Day of Resurrection): ‘Give life to these’ and they won’t be able to.

- Clarification regarding Robotics, AI and automation – how (true) life, creation, has a soul which Allāh creates. He alone brings life from non-life, other than Him cannot do this such as Atheists and Darwinists. They only mimic real life with their inventions, it is all artificial, but they try to make it look as though they are contenders to Allāh, trying to compete with Him.

- A mention of several ways in which Shirk appears – different forms or manifestations of Shirk.
