Shirk in Lordship and Worship and the Methodology of Da'wah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Or if he was a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) in rububiyyah (lordship),
The Shaykh:
that is a greater shirk (associating partners with Allah) than the first type, being greater than the shirk of the earlier people, such as Quraysh and their like.
The questioner:
Does the divine da'wah (calling) begin with tawhid al-rububiyyah (oneness of lordship)?
The Shaykh:
One is called to both matters, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called Quraysh and others. Yes.
The questioner:
How great is this calamity that has spread its affliction! They defied the people of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and innovated regarding the people of pure monotheism, so we seek help from Allah.
The Shaykh:
What Allah willed.
The questioner:
His saying: The chapter on the saying of Allah the Exalted: "Are those [gods]..."[Al-A'raf 7:191].
The Shaykh:
Thank you.

مَا لَا يَخْلُقُ شَيْئًا وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَThe Shaykh:
Thank you.
