Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, we have learned that the polytheists acknowledged the oneness of lordship and denied the oneness of worship. What is their position regarding the oneness of the names and attributes?
Answer:
The oneness of the names and attributes is included within the oneness of lordship. That is, they acknowledge that Allah is the Creator, which is a name and an attribute, and they acknowledge that Allah is the Lord, the Lordship. So, they acknowledge the names and attributes, yes. But this does not benefit them because they transgress the oneness of lordship. Yes.
