Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, asks regarding the author’s (may Allah have mercy on him) statement about singling out the Exalted as a close friend, a judge, and a Lord, and Ibn al-Qayyim’s (may Allah have mercy on him) statement that the pillars of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) are that one does not take anyone other than Him as a Lord, a deity, or a judge. His question is: Is there evidence in this for what is called today tawhid al-hakimiyyah?
Answer:
It is included in tawhid al-uluhiyyah (oneness of worship). It is included in tawhid al-uluhiyyah. But. It is upon them, because among them are those who rule by laws and matters; this is a matter of denouncing this action. Yes.
