Take the quizWhy
Allah alone is the Lord, Creator, Provider, Sovereign, Controller, and Sustainer of all that exists. To Him belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth.
Why
A person may own something in a limited way, but can only use it in permitted ways. Allah alone owns and controls all things completely and comprehensively.
Why
Belief in Allah’s Lordship means affirming that He alone is the Lord, with no partner or helper. He alone creates, owns, and controls all affairs.
Why
The way the universe is created, maintained, ordered, and controlled points to one Creator with no partner. Created things cannot create, provide, hear, see, benefit, or harm by themselves.
Why
Allah created all things and controls all things. Nothing is beyond His control in the heavens or on earth, and the decision of all matters rests with Him.
Why
If a person dies associating partners with Allah and did not repent before death, Allah will not forgive that sin. But if someone repents before death, Allah forgives even shirk and other major sins.
Why
When the message reaches a person in a way that establishes proof against them, they have no excuse before Allah. They must seek and follow guidance, rather than remain upon misguidance because of habit or upbringing.
Why
Faith is not only a claim in the heart. It includes belief in the heart, words on the lips, and physical actions. Committing sins and neglecting righteous deeds shows that faith is weak, lacking, or absent.
