Allah or that I know the unseen, nor do I tell you that I am an angel. I only follow what is revealed to me”} [ Al-An’ ām: 50 ]. { Say,“ If you possessed the depositories of the mercy of my Lord, then you would withhold out of fear of spending.” And ever has man been stingy } [ Al-Isrā’: 100 ]. { Or have they the treasures of your Lord? Or are they the controllers [ of them ]?} [ At-Tūr: 37 ].
Absolute power, knowledge, and ownership are attributes unique to Allah( ta’ ālā). This has always been the faith of Muslims since the father of mankind – Ādam(‘ alayhis-salām) – treaded the Earth and will continue to be so until the last believer passes away shortly before the Hour. Only Allāh( ta’ ālā) knows the minutest details of everything, controls all events, and possesses every atomic particle. Even the pagans of the Jāhiliyyah in the Arabian Peninsula did not doubt that Allah alone possessed absolute power, knowledge, and ownership, but they committed shirk in many ways including attributing partial knowledge of the unseen to soothsayers, assigning shares of their crops and livestock to idols, and claiming their idols held some influence to intercede for them. As for claiming their idols, soothsayers, and kings had absolute or near-absolute power, knowledge, and ownership, then this was too much for even the corrupted fitrah of the jāhiliyyīn to tolerate.
Sadly, this shirkī attitude( both minor and major) entered the hearts and minds of many supposedly“ Islamic” leaders, scholars, and callers – in imitation of the Arab nationalists before them – as they began to describe the enemies of Islam with attributes bordering rubūbiyyah( Allah’ s lordship). To them, the kuffār had the nearabsolute knowledge, power, and ownership to plot and execute any grand conspiracy of their desire. It is almost as if they attribute to them the ability to create with the word“ be”! Their evil became most apparent in issues related to jihād. If one desired to perform jihād, these leaders would warn that jihād now was a conspiracy to kill off the sincere Muslim youth and thereby leave the Muslims’ lands to the secularists. If one wanted to join a jihād jamā’ ah, they would warn that it was the creation of the kuffār so as to aid in achieving kāfir interests. If jihād operations – like those of September 11 th – were carried out against the kuffār, they would claim these operations were conspiracies by the kuffār to justify their aggression against Muslims. If a mujāhid leader achieved shahādah, they would say that the kuffār used him up and needed
