The Ruling on Denying Lordship and the Innate Disposition

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, do the disbelievers and those who associate partners with Allah know that there is a Lord, or is there someone among them who says there is no Lord?

Answer:
The fitrah (innate natural disposition) upon which Allah created people acknowledges Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), even in the case of animals. Creation is created upon the affirmation of Allah and the acknowledgment of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). It is the devils who alter the fitrah; the devils of mankind and the jinn are the ones who change the fitrah. A person’s parents make him a Jew, or a Christian, or a Magian. So the fitrah exists, and the affirmation of the Lordship of Allah is not denied by anyone except one who is stubborn, like Pharaoh or Haman, or one who is stubborn in this way. Otherwise, they know in the depths of their souls that Allah is the Creator, the Provider, and the Manager. They acknowledge the oneness of lordship in the depths of their souls, but they feign denial of it for their own purposes and desires. For this reason, Musa (peace be upon him) said to Pharaoh: “You know well that none other than the Lord of the heavens and the earth has sent these down, and I think, O Pharaoh, that you will be destroyed.” Musa (peace be upon him), the one who spoke to Allah, informed about Pharaoh that he knows in the depths of his soul that none other than the Lord of the heavens and the earth has sent down these nine signs that are with Musa. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said: .
Out of injustice and arrogance. So no one denies the Lord (Glorified and Exalted is He) except a stubborn one or a fool who has no intellect. Yes.
