A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:08,769 --> 00:00:14,279
The prohibition against applying the title of "Lord" (al-Rabb) to anyone other than Allah the Exalted.

3
00:00:14,279 --> 00:00:20,280
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, forbade a servant from addressing his master as "my Lord" (rabbi).

4
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:29,280
He, peace be upon him, said: "None of you should say, 'Feed your lord,' or 'Perform wudu for your lord.'"

5
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,280
Instead, he should say, "My master (sayyidi) and my patron (mawlay)."

6
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:36,280
And none of you should say, "My male slave" (abdi) or "My female slave" (amati).

7
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:42,280
Instead, he should say, "My young man" (fatay), "My young woman" (fatati), or "My servant" (ghulami).

8
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,439
Narrated by al-Bukhari.

9
00:00:44,439 --> 00:00:46,659
The reason for this prohibition

10
00:00:46,659 --> 00:00:51,659
is that the reality of Lordship (rububiyyah) belongs solely to Allah the Exalted.

11
00:00:51,659 --> 00:00:55,659
This is because the "Lord" (al-Rabb) is the Owner who sustains and manages a thing.

12
00:00:55,659 --> 00:01:00,659
The true reality of this attribute exists only for Allah the Exalted alone.

13
00:01:00,659 --> 00:01:05,700
As for things that are not worshipped, such as animals and inanimate objects,

14
00:01:05,700 --> 00:01:09,700
it is not disliked to apply the term "lord" (rabb) to their owner.

15
00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:18,700
Thus, it is correct to say "lord of the house," "lord of the horse," "lord of the garment," and so on.
