Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does His saying[Al-Muzzammil 73:9] contain the three types of tawhid (the oneness of Allah)?
Answer:
It does not contain them; it is tawhid al-rububiyyah (oneness of lordship). It is tawhid al-rububiyyah, unless it is from His saying "take Him as a means" and reliance, which would be worship, in which case it would be from tawhid al-uluhiyyah (oneness of worship). Yes.
