In the statement of the disbelievers, as Allah related about them: “And those who disbelieved will say, ‘Our Lord, show us…'” Is there not an acknowledgment of the oneness of worship in this?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student: Their saying, O Shaykh, may Allah bless you, Is this, O Shaykh, not an acknowledgment of the oneness of worship, just as it is an acknowledgment of the oneness of lordship?
The Shaykh : Is there not an acknowledgment in it?
The student: Of the oneness of worship? The oneness of worship, because supplication is one of the types of worship?
The Shaykh : I mean, the fact that they called upon Allah the Exalted? No, calling upon Allah the Exalted can happen even in this world, but they call upon Allah the Exalted in times of hardship and forget Him in times of ease. And there, in the Hereafter as well, they may acknowledge this, meaning they may acknowledge that there is no god but Allah, but this acknowledgment will not benefit them. Yes.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : What did the Messenger say?
The student: Peace and blessings be upon him.
The Shaykh : Peace and blessings be upon him?
The student: May Allah send blessings and peace upon him.
The Shaykh : Clearly.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : It may be that both the blame and the praise come at the same time, where a person desires good, and then Satan prevents him from it. Or it may be that doing good did not even cross his mind, and Satan whispered evil to him. Yes.
Our Lord, show us those
