The first obligation of the accountable person and the issue of oneness of worship and oneness of lordship

Question:
My brothers, the questions have truly been numerous, and a great many of them have already been addressed in the Shaykh’s recorded lecture and explanation. If the brothers had not rushed to present the questions, they would have heard the Shaykh’s words on them. This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, you mentioned in the previous lesson that the correct view is that the first obligation of the accountable person is the worship of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). I have read in one of the books that the issue of oneness of worship was not a subject of disagreement; rather, it was the issue of oneness of lordship that the final message faced. I have held this position for years. So what is the truth, O Shaykh, in this matter?

Answer:
This is inverted speech. This is inverted speech. There was no disagreement between the messengers and the nations regarding oneness of lordship. The disagreement was over oneness of worship. The messengers said, every messenger said: . This is oneness of worship. They did not say to them, “Acknowledge the lordship of Allah,” because they already acknowledged it. Yes.
