Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It is said that the oneness of lordship is not denied by anyone. Do the materialists affirm the oneness of lordship?
Answer:
They affirm it in the depths of their hearts, because every person of sound mind acknowledges that this creation must have a Creator. Every person of sound mind, everyone who has intellect, acknowledges that this creation must have a Creator, and there is no Creator other than Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). All innate dispositions acknowledge this. However, some people utter this and display it, while others keep it in their hearts and deny it outwardly, such as the materialists and the atheists. Otherwise, no person of sound mind would ever say that these created things came into existence without a Creator.[At-Tur 52:35-36]? No person of sound mind would ever say that something comes into existence without a Creator, or that a created thing exists without a Creator. Yes.

(35) Or were they created by nothing, or were they the creators [of themselves]? (36) Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Rather, they are not certain.
أَمْ خُلِقُوا مِنْ غَيْرِ شَيْءٍ أَمْ هُمُ الْخَالِقُونَ أَمْ خَلَقُوا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ بَل لَّا يُوقِنُونَ
