Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Your Eminence mentioned that a person must be a slave, either to Allah or to other than Allah. We hear from some atheists that he is not a slave to Allah or to anyone else. Is this statement of his correct?
Answer:
He is a liar. He himself is a slave. The one who speaks is himself a slave. He does not escape servitude no matter what he says. That is why you find him submitting to things he did not think were servitude, yet they are servitude.
