Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the meaning of His saying, Glorified and Exalted is He:
And it is Allah who is [the only] deity in the heaven, and on the earth [the only] deityوَهُوَ الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاءِ إِلَٰهٌ وَفِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَٰهٌ
[Az-Zukhruf 43:84]
?

Answer:
It means the one who is worshipped, the one who is worshipped in the heavens and the earth, because al-uluhiyyah (oneness of worship) means servitude. So Al-Ilah (God) means the one who is worshipped, the one who is worshipped in the heavens and the one who is worshipped in the earth. Yes.
