The Oneness of Lordship means that the programmer, the manager and the ruler of this universe is the One God only.

The word “Rabb ’is one of the attributes of God and universally means “The sustainer” and is the most repeated attribute of God in the Qura’n. The words, “Rabb, Rabboka, Rabbokum, Rabbana, and Rabbi have been used more than times each in the Qura’n.

I many of the verse god has been called, “the Lord of the worlds’ (One who nurtures the universe) this tells us that Qura’n gives special attention to the issue of Oneness in Lordship because the idolaters used to attribute the management of the universe to His (so called) partners. Most idolaters believed in the Oneness of Creativity but made partners when it came to the management of the universe thereby resorting to polytheism. This is why the Qura’n refutes this great misconception in belief repeatedly prevalent in most nations. The polytheism about Lordship is the root of many uncontrolled evils which we will discuss later.

We now turn to the verses of the Qura’n after this brief introduction of Oneness in Lordship mentioned below:

1. Surah Fateha Verse 2:

All praise is due only to God; the Lord of the worlds.

2 Surah Anam Verse 164
