Allah alone creates and governs

Tawhid of Lordship

This lesson focuses on Allah’s lordship: creation, ownership, provision and governance belong to Him alone.

01

What it means

Allah is the sole Creator, Owner, Sustainer and Controller of the universe.

02

What it produces

The believer takes lawful means but knows that benefit, provision and outcomes are in Allah’s hand.

03

A necessary distinction

Acknowledging Allah as Creator is not by itself the whole of Tawhid; worship must also be directed to Him alone.

04

Practice

Connect daily blessings and needs to the One who provides them, then worship Him with gratitude and reliance.
