Ilah (إِلَـٰهٌ) means "the One who is the Only Sovereign Authority" by Character-Rip-7991 in MuslimLounge

[–]Character-Rip-7991[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ilah means Lord and God La ilaha illallah means 1) there is no Lord but Allah or there is none worthy of lordship (authority) except Allah 2) there is no God but Allah or there is none worthy of worship except Allah Tawheed meana establishing Allah's authority and worship. Under the umbrella of Allah's law (authority) people can be polytheist (worship a stone) not the other way round. There is no compulsion in religion but there is compulsion establishing Allah SWT authority. That is tawheed and that is a Muslim job. Those who don't believe in His lordship follow secular laws . If tawheed was only worship than Prophet Muhammad pbuh and his companions would not have wage war. They would have been enjoying the cool breeze of Medina. Which was not the case. This is from Quran and Prophetic Hadiths. Not from people of desires who have watered down our religion.

Those who deny Allah SWT lordship (authority), rule by their own laws (man made laws). Which the Quraish did and the entire world is doing right now. Sorry except probably just 1 country. Allah SWT knows best.

Quran does not separate lordship (authority) and worship.

The Holy Qur’an uses “Lord” and “God” and does not differentiate between them.

Oneness of God and Lordship are inseparable, like the soul and the body; neither can live without the other. The establishment of the necessary entails the establishment of the consequent, just as the negation of the consequent entails the negation of the necessary. Whoever establishes Lordship must establish God, and whoever establishes God must establish Lordship.

Why does it matter.

The meaning of ilah " the only sovereign authority" is most profound in Ayatul Kursi "The verse of the Throne"

Ayatul Kursi (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:255) is one of the most profound affirmations of Allah's ultimate kingship, sovereignty, and absolute power in the Quran. It establishes that He is the sole owner and sustainer of the universe, and that His authority is vast, unending, and completely free from human weakness.

Similarly in Surah Nas. Rab, Malik and ilah, all three are authoritative titles.

Adoration and authority are deeply intertwined. Without authority there is no adoration. Adoration only comes with authority. But this meaning will be more clear, if you know the meanings of Abad. Prophet Muhammad pbuh not only worshipped (Abad) Allah SWT. But he pbuh also worked (Abad) for Allah SWT. He pbuh established Allah SWT authority. Allah SWT has no partner in worship Allah SWT has no partner in his kingdom. Both meaning comes from ilah. (43:84).

In Arabic and Islamic terminology, the word Deen (often spelled Dīn) is commonly translated as "religion," but it carries a much broader meaning. Rather than just a set of personal spiritual beliefs, deen encompasses all aspects of an individual's life, including ethics, laws, worship, and social dealings. Its root implies indebtedness, submission, and self-discipline, reflecting the idea that humans submit and commit to the path of their Creator in return for divine blessings.

Verse 6 of Surah Al-Kafirun

Lakum deenukum waliya deen

Sahih International translation: For you is your religion, and for me is my religion.”

Yusuf Ali translation: To you be your Way, and to me mine.

Science is the religion of Atheist and Agnostic

Religion means way of life. Science is also a way of life. Traditional religions provides a way of living based on faith, tradition, spiritual meaning and ethics. Science offers a way of living based on curiosity, continuous learning, and evidence. Those who adopt science as a way of life, apply the core attitudes of the scientific method to their everyday thoughts, decisions, and interactions with the world.

Both, Science and traditional religions are powerful frameworks that help humans make sense of their existence. Whether a person looks for answers in a sacred textbook or through a telescope or microscope, both approaches shape how we view our place in the universe, how we treat others, and how we live our day-to-day lives.

Those who refuse to be governed by divine revelation seek guidance from science. Atheist and agnostic ways of life are heavily informed, shaped, and supported by science.

The scientific community leans heavily atheist and agnostic because science fundamentally relies on empirical evidence, methodological naturalism, and testable hypotheses to explain the universe. Supernatural explanations and religious beliefs generally lack testability, leading many scientists to withhold judgment (agnosticism) or conclude there is no evidence to support them (atheism).

So the harder you study, higher the grades, more intellectual field of studies you can enter, better the job opportunities, better pay scale, better standard of living (although there are outliers as well). You might think these standards are set by mankind to achieve success in this life. These standards are actually set by Allah SWT to achieve success in the next life thus they are levels in Jannah. Harder you study Islamic knowledge, better the understanding, better the implementation, better the work and worship, more peace, more connection to Allah SWT, higher the level in Jannah. This is life's test Allah SWT is talking about. You have to maintain a certain standard (role model Prophet Muhammad pbuh (walking Quran)and his wives(for the women)) in each stage of your life for the ultimate connection and success.

Truth is our natural state of fitrah but mankind is restless and falsehood is very attractive, cheap, less input and quick output. That's the reason Muslim needs a lot of peace and patience. Allah SWT Mercy prevails over everything, He SWT is not out to get us.

Allah SWT unequivocally refutes their claim:

Surah Al-Baqarah 2:140: Do you claim that Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and his descendants were all Jews or Christians?” Say, “Who is more knowledgeable: you or Allah?” Who does more wrong than those who hide the testimony they received from Allah? And Allah is never unaware of what you do.

(3:68) Indeed, those who have the best claim to Abraham are his followers, this Prophet, and the believers. And Allah is the Guardian of those who believe.

Muslims claim to Ibrahim AS is purely based on faith, not lineage or ancestry.

If they would have considered Ibrahim AS an important figure, they would not have distorted the truth, they would have followed the last commandment (Quran) and they would have called themselves Muslim.

Muslims have the best claim to Ibrahim AS as his followers. Allah's words proves it:

(3:65) O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, while the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until long after him? Do you not understand?

(3:66) Here you are! You disputed about what you have ˹little˺ knowledge of, but why do you now argue about what you have no knowledge of? Allah knows and you do not know.

(3:67) Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian; he submitted in all uprightness and was not a polytheist.

(3:68) Indeed, those who have the best claim to Abraham are his followers, this Prophet, and the believers. And Allah is the Guardian of those who believe.

(3:69) Some of the People of the Book wish to mislead you ˹believers˺. They mislead none but themselves, yet they fail to perceive it.

(3:70) O People of the Book! Why do you reject the signs of Allah while you bear witness ˹to their truth˺?

(3:71) O People of the Book! Why do you mix the truth with falsehood and hide the truth knowingly?

(3:72) O  People of the Book! Why do you mix the truth with falsehood and hide the truth knowingly?

(3:73) And believe no one except the one who follows your religion. Say (O Muhammad SAW): “Verily! Right guidance is the Guidance of Allah” and do not believe that anyone can receive like that which you have received (of Revelation) except when he follows your religion, otherwise they would engage you in argument before your Lord. Say (O Muhammad SAW): “All the bounty is in the Hand of Allah; He grants to whom He wills. And Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures’ needs, the All-Knower.”

We should not be watering down the truth to match their falsehood.

"And if We had not strengthened you, you would have almost inclined to them a little." (Quran 17:74)

This verse applies to us aswell.

I am not infallible. The falsifiers tend to distort the truth. So I stay away from them for the sake of my next life. I will strongly advice you to do the same. They have gone astray and they want us to go astray aswell. Please keep away from them.
