[
In the Name of Allaah, the All-Merciful, may His Complete
Salaah and Salaam be upon His Messenger, and
upon all his family members and companions, and all those
who follow his way, to proceed... ]
In
the Qur'aan Allaah only mentions tawheed ar-ruboobiyyah,
that which the disbelievers themselves affirm, to show its
weight as a proof and to establish the evidence for tawheed
al-uloohiyyah. So Allaah brings an idea that they agree
about as a proof against them, and this obliges them to answer
the following questions:
*
How can you admit to Allaah's Ruboobiyyah, that He
is the sole Lord of the creation, and not agree that He alone
has the right to be worshipped?!
*
How can you worship someone or something that did not share
in any part of the creation with Allaah?! This is a clear
contradiction, as Allaah Almighty says [1]:
(
Say: Do you see that what you call on besides Allaah, what
have they created in the earth? Or what is their share in
the heavens? Bring me a book from the past, or any trace of
knowledge you have, if you are indeed truthful! )
Allaah
also says [2]:
(
This is the creation of Allaah! So now show me what those
less than Him have created! )
And
Allaah says [3]:
(
O mankind! A parable has been set forth, so listen! Verily
those who are called on besides Allaah can not even create
a fly, even if they all gathered together to help each other!
And if a fly were to snatch something from them, they do not
even have the power to get it back! How weak are those who
seek from them, and how weak are those being sought! )
So
if flies attacked mankind, they would have no way to defend
themselves or take revenge, while the fly is the weakest thing!
So if flies and mosquitoes swarmed over them, they would not
be able to rid themselves of them. They would only be able
to kill some of them, but there would be such a great number
of them that they would overwhelm all of mankind!
It
is also said that the meaning of the verse is that if a fly
were to take something away from an idol, some perfume or
decoration that the people placed on it, that verily the idol
could do nothing to get back what the fly took from it. Allaah
says [3]:
(
How weak are those who seek from them, and how weak are those
being sought! )
In
the verse, "those who seek" are the polytheists.
"Those being sought" are the idols, and it has also
been said that it means the fly itself.
So
if the affair is like this, how can these things be made partners
with Allaah, the Creator, the Provider, the Bringer of Life
and Death, the Strong, the Mighty, the One who is capable
of everything, the Glorified and Exalted?! Where is the intellect?!
Where is the understanding?! We ask Allaah to pardon us.
