What you must believe about your Creator - Kalamullah.Com

Allah is the true ilah (the one who deserves to be worshiped). No oneshares with Him this Right (of being worshiped) neither an Angel norany Prophet. Therefore the call of all the Prophets from the first ofthem to the last of them was, "La ilaha illa Allah. (there is no ilahexcept Allah.)"“We did not send any Messenger before you (O Muhammad ) butWe inspired him (saying), 'La ilaha illa Ana' (there is no ilah exceptMe), so worship Me (Alone)." [Soorah al-Anbiya (21): 25] "Verily, Wehave sent among every nation, a Messenger (proclaiming), "WorshipAllah (Alone), and avoid Taghoot (false deities)." [Soorah an-Nahl(16): 36]So if someone believes in the Existence of Allah and believes in theRububiyah of Allah but he worships others alongside Allah then he isnot a believer in Allah until he singles out Allah in His Uluhiyyah.One might say that Allah approved the characteristic of Uluhiyyah(worship) for others besides Him. Allah said about Ibraheem, "Is italiha (pl. of ilah) other than Allah that you seek?" [(37): 86] and Allahsays, "Invoke not any other ilah along with Allah." [(28): 88] and otherverses. So how can it be correct to say, "Allah is Alone in Uluhiyyah."Reply:Uluhiyyah (worship) that is established for otherthan Allah is false Uluhiyyah. It is therefore absolutelydenied, like in the saying of the Prophets to their nations,"Indeed, We sent Nuh to his people and he said, 'O my people!Worship Allah! You have no other Ilah but Him.'" [al-A'raf (7):59] Those (other than Allah) are false ilah, "That is becauseAllah, He is the Truth and what they (the polytheist) invokebesides Him, it is Batil (false)." [al-Hajj (22): 62]- 34 -
