Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: He observes that most of the later authors in the science of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) focus on tawhid al-rububiyyah (oneness of lordship),
Answer:
these are the books of the beliefs of the people of kalam (theological discourse) from the Asha'irah and others. They focus on tawhid al-rububiyyah and arguing for it using kalam, and concentrating the proofs on it. This is a foregone conclusion, because tawhid al-rububiyyah is present in the fitrah (the innate natural disposition), and it is also what is sufficient. It is necessary to have tawhid al-uluhiyyah (oneness of worship). Yes.
