(Explanation of the tawhid of the Jabriyyah, which is singling out Allah with actions, so every action is for Allah, and the servant's action is the Lord's action, whether obedience or disobedience, and shirk is attributing any action to other than Allah)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : This is the fourth type of the types of tawhid, which is singling out Allah the Exalted with actions. Singling out Allah with actions means any action whatsoever; Allah the Exalted is unique in it. Whoever attributes an action to other than Allah is a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah). This is the tawhid according to whom? According to the Jabriyyah. They say that the servant's action is the very action of the Lord. So our movements are the movements of Allah. The disobedience committed by a human is disobedience committed by Allah. The obedience from a human is obedience from Allah. It is said to them: Is it not said that a man wronged himself? They say, yes, indeed. It is said: But this is a form of courtesy toward Allah, whereas in reality, the wrongdoer is Allah. I seek refuge in Allah. Look, and may Allah protect us, at this vile statement. Then the extremists among them came and said that we escape from this and free ourselves by saying that all actions are obedience. So zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) is obedience, theft is obedience, drinking khamr (intoxicants) is obedience, and killing the soul is obedience. This is because if these actions deviate from the legislative will, they occur by the cosmic will. Therefore, they say that everything intended by Allah is beloved to Him, and the entire universe is intended, so the entire universe, with its obedience and disobedience, is beloved to Allah. Therefore, they do not have disobedence; they do not have disobedence. Whoever is arrogant toward the cosmic command has humbled himself to the decree of destiny. Whoever is arrogant toward the legislative command is subject to the cosmic command, and thus he is not a sinner; thus he is not a sinner. The author says:
"This is the fourth, and the tawhid of the Jabriyyah is the pinnacle of gnosis"
The servant is dead, dead, so movements are not attributed to him. Just as a dead person does not move, a living person does not move; his movements are not attributed to him. If you raise your hand to your mouth, it is as if the washer raised the dead person's hand to his mouth, and there is no difference. So
"The servant is dead, having no action, but what you see is the action of the One who possesses authority"
Who is the One who possesses authority? Allah Mighty and Majestic.
