Mentioning the divisions of servitude into general servitude and specific servitude.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
If someone were to say: You mentioned that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was honored by the attribution of his servitude to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), even though the disbelievers of creation and the wicked of creation are servants of Allah the Exalted, as Allah the Exalted said: [Maryam 19:93]? The answer to this is said: Servitude has multiple meanings. There is general servitude, which is cosmic and decreed servitude; this encompasses everyone, and no one can do anything but submit to this servitude. So the disbeliever and the wicked person is a servant of Allah in the sense that Allah does with them whatever He wills. And there is specific servitude, which is the servitude of obedience, and it is specific to those who believed in Allah and followed His Shari'ah. Then this specific type can be said to be divided into a general specific and a more specific specific. The servitude of the messengers is not the same as the servitude of the truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous; the former is more perfect and more specific.
