The implication of the Jews' statement to Moses, "Go, you and your Lord," regarding the denial of lordship
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. When the Jews said to Moses (peace be upon him), "Go, you and your Lord, and fight," does that imply that they do not acknowledge Allah as their Lord?
Answer:
They know that Allah is their Lord. No one denies the oneness of lordship. All of humanity acknowledges the oneness of lordship. The disagreement is over the oneness of worship. The messengers only called for the oneness of worship; they did not call for the oneness of lordship because people already acknowledged it. However, it is not sufficient except after the oneness of worship. Every messenger, every prophet, says to his people:[Al-A'raf 7:59]. Yes.

يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرُهُ
