Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it correct to say, "There is no Lord with truth other than Him"? Is this phrase correct?
Answer:
No, the phrase "the High One" is not correct. "There is no worshipped entity with truth other than Him" is the correct one: "There is no worshipped entity with truth other than Him." As for "There is no Lord with truth other than Him," that is tawhid al-rububiyyah (oneness of lordship), which everyone acknowledges, including the disbelievers and those who associate partners with Allah; everyone acknowledges it. But if one says, "There is no worshipped entity with truth other than Him," that is the meaning of "There is no deity but Allah." Yes.
