Benefits Related to Lordship and the Majesty of Allah, Mighty and Majestic

The Shaykh : And His saying: He attributed lordship to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) because it is a specific type of lordship. Indeed, Allah the Exalted is his Lord who raised him with the most perfect of morals. Therefore, we say that lordship is divided into general and specific. The general is that which encompasses all creation, such as His saying: and such as His saying: This is general. The specific is that which is exclusive to those who worship Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and it entails victory, support, and specific upbringing. The most specific of this type, which I mean by specific lordship, is what is attributed to the Messengers (peace and blessings be upon them), because Allah’s lordship over them is the most specific lordship. And His saying: The meaning of this is that "Rabb" here means "Master," the Master of majesty and might, and it does not mean "Creator." "Rabb" in "your Rabb" is different from "Rabb" in "Rabb of majesty," because "Rabb of majesty" must necessarily mean "Master" and it is not permissible for us to make it mean "Creator." This is because majesty is one of the attributes of Allah, and the attributes of Allah the Exalted are not created. Therefore, it is necessary to interpret His saying: as "Master of majesty," that is, the Possessor of majesty. He only attributed Himself, Mighty and Majestic, to majesty here because the context requires it. For these people describe Allah with what He is free from, as He said: They think that by this they are prevailing, but in reality, they are being overcome, because the Master of majesty in perfection is Allah, Mighty and Majestic. So even if they are given respite, they will not be neglected: The point of this is His saying: because it corresponds to "Al-Aziz" (The Mighty), as "Al-Aziz" is derived from majesty, as mentioned before. He also said: This is in response to whom? It is in response to the hypocrites when they said: Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: So they are not mightier than the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the believers, but rather they are the most humble. So it is as if the verse concedes what they said, meaning that it distinguishes the mightiest from the most humble. But who is the mightiest? Allah, His Messenger, and the believers. And the placement of the news (predicate) before "Allah" regarding majesty is evidence that absolute majesty does not belong to anyone but Allah alone. As for the majesty that may be mixed with humility, this belongs to the created, even to the believers, it is: a plural of "humble," but in the end, majesty belongs to the believers. And the hypocrites are threatened with this threat: as some of them said: And "until" here is not for a limit, but for causation, because the meaning is: "Do not spend in order that they may disperse," and the meaning is not "Do not spend until they disperse." If they disperse, then spend. It is not the meaning "in order that they may disperse." Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: .
