Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Was the dispute of Ibrahim (peace and blessings be upon him) with his people regarding tawhid al-rububiyyah (oneness of lordship) or tawhid al-uluhiyyah (oneness of worship)?
Answer:
It was regarding tawhid al-uluhiyyah (oneness of worship). The pre-Islamic messengers affirmed tawhid al-uluhiyyah, whereas tawhid al-uluhiyyah was not acknowledged by them. His debate with them, after challenging them, was: "You believe that you worship these celestial bodies. This changes, and the star disappears and rots, the moon rots, and the sun rots. If they were gods, they would not disappear or rot. The fact that they are manipulated and controlled is proof that they are created. He wanted to refute their belief, because they used to worship the celestial bodies, or he wanted to refute this belief and say that these celestial bodies are directed and managed, rising from the east and setting in the west. Yes.
