Question:
He says: Many Muslims pronounce the word of tawhid, the word of tawhid, "La ilaha illa Allah," but they interpret it as tawhid al-rububiyyah (oneness of lordship).
Answer:
This is invalid. It does not mean that there is no one who can create, provide sustenance, or give life and death except Allah. The polytheists know this. But the intended meaning of "La ilaha illa Allah" is that there is no deity worthy of worship in truth; the deity is the one who is worshipped. There is a difference between the deity (al-Ilah) and the Lord (al-Rabb). The deity is the one who is worshipped. This is from al-uluhiyyah (divinity), which is worship and love. Yes.
