Muslims Till Death:
AS AS SALAAMU ALAYKUM WARAHMATULLAH WABARAKAATUHU. LET'S START TONIGHT'S EDUCATION. OUR TOPIC IS 👇. *AQEEDAH AT-TAWHEED (Episode 34)*___*PAGE 1*___. ✍️...
Allah says, *'This is the creation of Allah. So, show Me that which those (whom you worship), besides Him have created.'* [Soorah Luqman (31): 11]
*'What have they created of the earth?'* [Soorah al-Ahqaf (46): 4]
*'Or do they assign to Allah partners who created the like of His creation so that the creation (which they made and His creation) seemed alike to them.' Say, 'Allah is the Creator of all things, He is the One, the Irresistible.'* [Soorah ar-Ra'ad (13): 16].

*’Verily! Those on whom you call besides Allah, cannot create (even) a fly, even though they combine together for the purpose.'* [Soorah al-Hajj (22): 73]
*'Those whom they invoke besides Allah have not created anything, but are themselves created.'* [Soorah an-Nahl (16): 20]
*'Is then He, Who creates as one who creates not? Will you not then remember?'* [Soorah an-Nahl (16):17]
Even though this challenge has been repeatedly brought up, no one has ever claimed to create anything. So, it is established that Allah is the Sole Creator, Who has no partners.

*▫️. The perfect harmony with which the universe functions*
The proofs undoubtedly attest that there exists only One Creator, Who has no partners or rivals. Allah says, *'No son (or offspring or children) did Allah beget, nor is there any ilah (god) along with Him; (if there had been many gods), behold, each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have tried to overcome others! Glorified be Allah above all that they attribute to Him!'* [Soorah al-Mu'minoon (23): 91].

Thus, the true deity is indisputably the Creator. Because if there was another deity, who had a share in His (Allah's) Dominion, then he would certainly have had a creation or deed and thus, would not have been pleased to have a partner, and if he was able to overpower the other deity and become the sole King and Lord, then he would have done so. Moreover, if he was not able to overcome the other deity, then he would have detached his kingdom and creation, as the kings of the world separate from each other in their kingdom, thus, the division would have taken place.

*▫️. The subjugation of the creatures in executing their duties*
There is no creation that rebels or refuses to perform its duty in this universe, and this is what Moosa (alaihis-salaam) pointed out when Firawn asked him, *'Who then, O Moosa is the Lord of you two?'* [Soorah Taa Haa (20): 49] Moosa replied with a convincing and adequate answer, *'Our Lord is He, Who gave to each thing its form and nature, then guided it aright.'* [Soorah Taa Haa (20):50] meaning, our Lord is He, who created all the creatures, and gave each creature its befitting forms, like big, small and medium body and other attributes.
___*PAGE 6*___. ✍️...
Then He guided each creature to its responsibility, and this guidance is the guidance of directions and inspiration and it is the complete guidance, which can be seen in all creatures. Thus, you will find every creation striving for the benefit, which he has been created for, and from repelling the harm. Allah has even bestowed the animals with the natural instinct to perform the beneficial, repel the harm and fulfill their duties of life. Allah says, *'Who made everything He has created good.'* [Soorah as-Sajdah (32): 7].
___*PAGE 7*___. ✍️...
So, the One, Who created all the creatures, and gave them their best forms - over which the intellect cannot imagine and guided it to its advantage, is the true Lord. Denial of Him is denying the existence of the greatest entity and it is arrogance and open falsehood. Allah has bestowed the creatures with everything they need in the world, and then He guided them to the methods of deriving benefits from it. Without a doubt, He provided every species with its appropriate form and shape and conferred every male and female with the befitting gender in marriage, intimacy, and society.
___*PAGE 8*___. ✍️...
He equipped every limb with its suitable shape to benefit from it. In the above is compelling proof that the All-Mighty is the Lord of everything and He alone is deserving of all worship without partners, as the poet says, *'in everything, there is a sign, which points out that he is waahid (One).'*
Undoubtedly, the essence of affirming His Rububiyah and Oneness is to reason out or establish the obligation of worship to Him alone without partners, i.e. Tawheed al-Uluhiyah.
___*PAGE 9*___ ✍️..
If a person affirms Tawheed ar-Rububiyah but does not proclaim Tawheed al-Uluhiyah or does not establish it in the correct manner, then he is neither a Muslim nor a muwahhid (one who declares and establishes Tawheed in its correct manner), rather he is a disbeliever and we will discuss this topic in details in the next chapter, In'sha'Allah.
___*PAGE 10*___. ✍️...
▪️ *Tawheed ar-Rububiyah necessities Tawheed al-Uluhiyah*
➖➖➖
The title of the chapter means that he, who declares Tawheed ar-Rububiyah and affirms that there is no Creator, Provider or Administrator of the Universe except Allah - then he is required to proclaim that none deserves all forms of worship except Allah, which is known as Tawheed al-Uluhiyah.
