Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Tawhid (the oneness of Allah) is divided into three sections; this is the well-known and established view. Some people mention a fourth section, which is tawhid al-hakimiyyah. Is there evidence for this section?
The Shaykh:
Leave it; it remains with them. Do not take it from them. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It was reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)
The Shaykh:
Tawhid al-hakimiyyah is included in tawhid. It is included in tawhid al-uluhiyyah (oneness of worship) and it is also included in tawhid al-rububiyyah (oneness of lordship). So there is no need for you to mention it separately. Yes.
