Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: The researcher mentioned in the marginalia a statement he quoted from Shaykh Siddiq Hasan Khan, and in this statement it is explicitly stated that there is no deity except Allah.
Answer:
This is an omission by Siddiq (may Allah have mercy on him) that he did not notice. It must be "There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah." The word "worthy of worship" is necessary. Yes. It may be a typographical error, and this is the original text we have not seen the manuscript of, but in any case, it is an error.
