Similarly, He is Alone in controlling all the affairs -even the disbelievers affirmed this. If they are asked who runs theaffairs of the universe, they will say, 'Allah Alone runs the affairs.'Shaikh Salih al-Fawzan writes in Mujmal Aqeedah as-Salaf,"...even Iblees, who is the head of Kufr said, "O my Lord! Because youmisled me..." [Soorah al-Hijr (15): 39] and "By Your Might, then I willsurely mislead them all." [Soorah as-Saad (38): 82] So he confessedthe Lordship of Allah and took an oath by His Might. Similarly, all thedisbelievers confessed the Lordship of Allah like Abu Jahl, Abu Lahaband other heads of Kufr.Allah says, "If you ask them who created them, they will surely say,"Allah" [Soorah Zukhruf (43): 87] "Say, 'In Whose Hands is thesovereignty of everything (i.e. treasures of each and everything)?

[Soorah al-Mu'minoon(23): 88-89]“Say, "Who provides for you from the sky and from the earth? Or whoowns hearing and sight? Who brings out the living from the dead andbrings out the dead from the living? Who disposes the affairs?" Theywill say, "Allah." Say, "Will you not then be afraid of Allah'spunishment (for setting up rivals in worship with Allah)?” So theyconfessed all this.- 25 -
