The Relationship Between Tawhid al-Rububiyyah and Tawhid al-Uluhiyyah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
O sons of the Shaykh, I wanted to clarify the disagreement on the topic of the relationship between rububiyyah (lordship) and uluhiyyah (worship). Some say that the relationship of rububiyyah necessitates the relationship of uluhiyyah, while others say that the relationship of uluhiyyah necessitates the relationship of rububiyyah, so there is no need for two types of relationship. I wanted to clarify this for the servants of Allah.

Answer:
I mean, the matter is in his hand; he says there is no need, and he cancels some types of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and acts according to his own desires. This matter regarding Allah and the types of tawhid is only taken from the words of Allah and the words of His Messenger. What does he have to do with canceling this or affirming that?
As for the relationship between the types of tawhid, as established by the people of knowledge, tawhid al-rububiyyah (oneness of lordship) necessitates tawhid al-uluhiyyah (oneness of worship), and tawhid al-uluhiyyah includes tawhid al-rububiyyah. This is what they say: tawhid al-rububiyyah necessitates tawhid al-uluhiyyah. So whoever affirms tawhid al-rububiyyah is required to affirm tawhid al-uluhiyyah, whether he affirms it or not; this is a necessity for him.
As for tawhid al-uluhiyyah, it is inclusive, meaning that tawhid al-rububiyyah enters into tawhid al-uluhiyyah. Inclusion means entry. So whoever comes with tawhid al-uluhiyyah, it includes the entry of tawhid al-rububiyyah within it. As for us acting and canceling this and saying we are content with this, this is misguidance, may Allah protect us from it. Yes.
