The fruits of affirming the Oneness of Lordship (Tawhid al-Rububiyyah).
0:13
Belief in the Oneness of Lordship yields numerous, magnificent fruits.
0:18
Among the most important of these are:
0:20
First:
0:21
Defining for people the purpose for which they were created.
0:25
Informing them of what benefits and harms them by receiving that guidance from their Lord.
0:31
For it does not befit the Lord of the worlds to leave His servants aimless,
0:36
Without teaching them what benefits them in their worldly life and their hereafter.
0:41
Allah the Exalted says:
0:43
“Deemed ye then that We had created you for naught, and that ye would not be returned unto Us?” (23:115)
0:50
Second:
0:52
Realizing the Oneness of Allah’s Names and Attributes.
0:55
For the Lord must necessarily be the Ever-Living, the Sustainer,
0:59
The Creator, the All-Powerful,
1:01
The All-Knowing, the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing, the One who possesses Will.
1:05
And say the same regarding all of Allah’s supreme Names and Attributes.
1:10
Third:
1:13
Contentment with the decree and law of Allah.
1:15
Because acknowledging the Lordship of Allah, the Almighty and Majestic,
1:19
Is to be content with what Allah apportions to the servant and decrees for him.
1:24
This also necessitates being content with what He legislates and commands,
1:29
And refraining from what He forbids.
1:32
Fourth:
1:33
Loving Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, thanking Him, magnifying Him, and revering Him.
1:39
For creation is innately disposed to love the One who sustains them, provides for them, and treats them with kindness.
1:45
This instills in the servant’s heart the love of Allah, the love of what He loves, and the love of those whom He loves,
1:52
As well as hatred for what He hates and those whom He hates.
1:55
It leads to hastening toward His pleasure, magnifying Him,
1:58
And revering, thanking, and praising Him.
2:01
Fifth:
2:02
Relying upon Allah in all matters.
2:06
For whoever is certain that Allah is the Provider and the Disposer of affairs,
2:10
“That is because Allah, He is the Truth and because He quickeneth the dead, and because He is Able to do all things;” (22:6)
2:13
His heart becomes filled with reliance upon Him, glory be to Him, in all his affairs.
2:19
Sixth:
2:20
Turning to Allah and beseeching Him during times of hardship and calamity.
2:26
Due to the certainty that He alone is the Disposer of all affairs,
2:30
The One who brings benefit and causes harm,
2:32
The Reliever of distress and the Fulfiller of needs.
2:37
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
