Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : ...he is right in many issues, but he is biased against him.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : He quotes from him, some of which explicitly show Sayyid Qutb’s ignorance, where he places the oneness of lordship in place of the oneness of worship.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And he places the oneness of worship in place of the oneness of lordship.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And this, in addition to being contrary to scientific terminology, such that if he had studied anything of the creed, he would not have fallen into this error, and in addition to being contrary to the texts of the Book and the Sunnah!
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And the doctor mentioned some of it:[Luqman 31:25], okay, [As-Saffat 37:35].
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : He says that they used to believe in the oneness of worship.
The questioner : Sayyid?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And they disbelieve in the oneness of lordship, but what is his problem?! He does not mean that he knows.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So, consequently, because he is not a scholar, he lacks precision in expression, so he made terrible mistakes, but when you read through his speech, you see that he explicitly states that the polytheists deviated from the creed because they worshipped others alongside Allah, which is the oneness of worship and shirk in worship.
The questioner: Correct.
The Shaykh : You understand how it is, and therefore the doctor could not say in the end anything but that this is a confusion, and it is indeed a confusion, but it is not an intellectual confusion, rather it is a linguistic confusion, and in the index he placed the phrase that Sayyid Qutb emptied the oneness of worship.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : He emptied the oneness of worship from "La ilaha illa Allah," what does "emptied" mean? It means he left it empty.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : This is not correct, but the only thing is that he is not good at expressing the explanation of the good word.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So he places the oneness of lordship in place of the oneness of worship, and so on, meaning it appears to the person that he is hateful toward this man, even though he is dead, and I attribute his hatred, apparently, to being annoyed by the Muslim Brotherhood, the supporters of Sayyid Qutb.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So he is not a good person, as they say, "If he did not come out for his wife, he came out for his mother-in-law," this is not appropriate.
The questioner : Yes, and on that night when he called me and spoke, I advised him, my brother, to be gentle, do not be harsh with people.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : He quotes from him, some of which explicitly show Sayyid Qutb’s ignorance, where he places the oneness of lordship in place of the oneness of worship.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And he places the oneness of worship in place of the oneness of lordship.

The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And the doctor mentioned some of it:
And if you asked them, "Who created the heavens and earth?" they would surely say, "Allah."
وَلَئِنْ سَأَلْتَهُمْ مَنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّهُwhen it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allah," were arrogant
إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَThe questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : He says that they used to believe in the oneness of worship.
The questioner : Sayyid?
