The Wisdom of Discussing the Oneness of Lordship in the Qur'an, Even Though All Creation Acknowledge It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah for you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Why did Allah the Exalted mention verses in the Qur'an related to the oneness of lordship, such as the creation of the heavens and the earth, when this principle is accepted by all people, both Muslim and polytheist?
Answer:
So that it serves as evidence, or to be a proof, so that it becomes evidence for the oneness of worship and devotion. He mentioned it in the context of compelling those who acknowledge it but associate partners with Allah in worship to compel them to devote worship to Allah alone. This is among the proofs, among the proofs of the oneness of worship. Among the proofs of the oneness of worship is the oneness of lordship. So He addressed them with what they accept to compel them to what they deny, which is the oneness of worship. Yes.
