00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.859
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.859 --> 00:00:13.859
Using the Oneness of Lordship (Tawhid al-Rububiyyah) as evidence for the Oneness of Worship (Tawhid al-Uluhiyyah).

00:00:13.859 --> 00:00:19.079
Among the greatest implications of the Oneness of Lordship

00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:22.079
is using it as evidence for the Oneness of Worship.

00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:26.079
Therefore, it has been singled out as an independent concept.

00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:31.079
“Have they not seen that Allah Who created the heavens and the earth is Able to create the like of them, and hath appointed for them an end whereof there is no doubt? But the wrong-doers refuse aught save disbelief.” (17:99)

00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:35.079
He alone possesses the authority to dispose of and manage its affairs.

00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:41.079
He alone is worthy of being worshipped, and none should be associated with Him in that.

00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:47.109
This is why the verses provide evidence for the Oneness of Worship through the Oneness of Lordship,

00:00:47.109 --> 00:00:53.210
and reject associating partners in the worship of Allah, the Exalted, after acknowledging His Lordship.

00:00:53.210 --> 00:00:56.500
Among these is His saying, the Exalted:

00:00:56.500 --> 00:01:03.829
"Is Allah better, or what they associate with Him?"

00:01:03.829 --> 00:01:07.829
“Is not He (best) Who created the heavens and the earth, and sendeth down for you water from the sky wherewith We cause to spring forth joyous orchards, whose trees it never hath been yours to cause to grow. Is there any Allah beside Allah? Nay, but they are folk who ascribe equals (unto Him)!” (27:60)

00:01:07.829 --> 00:01:14.829
“Is not He (best) Who created the heavens and the earth, and sendeth down for you water from the sky wherewith We cause to spring forth joyous orchards, whose trees it never hath been yours to cause to grow. Is there any Allah beside Allah? Nay, but they are folk who ascribe equals (unto Him)!” (27:60)

00:01:14.829 --> 00:01:20.829
“Is not He (best) Who created the heavens and the earth, and sendeth down for you water from the sky wherewith We cause to spring forth joyous orchards, whose trees it never hath been yours to cause to grow. Is there any Allah beside Allah? Nay, but they are folk who ascribe equals (unto Him)!” (27:60)

00:01:20.829 --> 00:01:28.829
“Is not He (best) Who created the heavens and the earth, and sendeth down for you water from the sky wherewith We cause to spring forth joyous orchards, whose trees it never hath been yours to cause to grow. Is there any Allah beside Allah? Nay, but they are folk who ascribe equals (unto Him)!” (27:60)

00:01:28.829 --> 00:01:33.829
“Is not He (best) Who created the heavens and the earth, and sendeth down for you water from the sky wherewith We cause to spring forth joyous orchards, whose trees it never hath been yours to cause to grow. Is there any Allah beside Allah? Nay, but they are folk who ascribe equals (unto Him)!” (27:60)

00:01:33.829 --> 00:01:37.829
"Is there any deity with Allah?"

00:01:37.829 --> 00:01:42.829
“Is not He (best) Who created the heavens and the earth, and sendeth down for you water from the sky wherewith We cause to spring forth joyous orchards, whose trees it never hath been yours to cause to grow. Is there any Allah beside Allah? Nay, but they are folk who ascribe equals (unto Him)!” (27:60)

00:01:42.829 --> 00:01:50.219
The remaining verses follow the same pattern, up to the sixty-fourth verse,

00:01:50.219 --> 00:01:53.469
which is His saying, the Exalted:

00:01:53.469 --> 00:02:03.469
“Is not He (best) Who produceth creation, then reproduceth it, and Who provideth for you from the heaven and the earth? Is there any Allah beside Allah? Say: Bring your proof, if ye are truthful!” (27:64)

00:02:03.469 --> 00:02:07.469
"Is there any deity with Allah?"

00:02:07.469 --> 00:02:14.789
"Say, 'Produce your proof, if you should be truthful.'"

00:02:14.789 --> 00:02:16.979
And He, the Exalted, said:

00:02:16.979 --> 00:02:23.979
“Attribute they as partners to Allah those who created naught, but are themselves created,” (7:191)

00:02:23.979 --> 00:02:31.979
“And cannot give them help, nor can they help themselves?” (7:192)

00:02:31.979 --> 00:02:39.080
Verses such as these, which use the Oneness of Lordship as evidence for the Oneness of Worship, are numerous.

00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:43.080
As found in the chapters of al-Baqarah, al-Nahl, al-Mu'minun, and al-Zumar.

00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:47.750
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
