The student: ... The theologians say that Allah is One, with no partner in His essence and no likeness in Him, and we mentioned that they say no one is capable of creating except Allah
The Shaykh : They interpret "La ilaha illa Allah" as not all of tawhid in their view
The student: One in His essence
The Shaykh : That He is One in His essence with no partner, One in His attributes with no likeness, and One in His actions with no partner, but the specific interpretation of "La ilaha illa Allah" is the One capable of creating
The student: ... The word tawhid .. "La ilaha illa Allah"
The Shaykh : No, no, but what is tawhid in their view? Tawhid in their view is these three things: tawhid of Allah in these three things. Then they interpreted "La ilaha illa Allah" with this specific meaning, that He is the One capable of creating, so they interpreted it in a way that implies its meaning is tawhid al-rububiyyah (oneness of lordship).
The student: Regarding the statement of these people, "No one is capable of creating except Allah," is this phrase itself not correct? The One who creates from the beginning is none other than Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and we said that this phrase is originally false?
The Shaykh : The falsehood is their interpretation of "La ilaha illa Allah" with this, not their statement "No one is capable of creating except Allah." That is correct, but their interpretation of "La ilaha illa Allah" with this is the falsehood. Do you understand now?
