The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, father, the questioner says: In His saying, the Exalted:[Al-Isra 17:44], how do we respond to those who say that the disbelievers may die upon disbelief without having said a single tasbih (glorification) to Allah?
The Shaykh:
They glorify Him by acknowledging His lordship. The disbelievers did not deny the lordship of Allah, so they glorify Him in the oneness of lordship. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Is it true?
The Shaykh:
That they glorify Allah. Who said that the disbelievers do not glorify Allah? They glorify Allah, give charity, perform Hajj, and perform 'Umrah. But they associate partners with Allah in their deeds. They associate partners with Allah. They glorify and they associate partners. And they do righteous deeds. But they corrupt them with shirk (associating partners with Allah). Yes.
