He IS Your Rabb!
So some say:
“There’s no such thing as God”
“Prove that God exists”
“If you say there’s a God, how come we can’t see Him?
… and other such statements. Is there a need to debate with people who make such statements and ask such questions? No, do not debate, because there really is no need to.
You see, those who deny the existence of Allaah are amongst the minority, because the vast majority of mankind actually believe in His existence. When I say Allaah, I am referring to the true God that people from other religions also worship: the Creator, Sustainer, Cherisher… The Most High.
As mentioned in previous posts, the one who created something is the one who has ultimate ownership of that thing, and that thing is under his control and may dispose of it at will. Hence, Allaah IS our Creator and thus He is the One Who owns and controls us, and He may dispose of us as He so wills.
What has this got to do with my previous post? Everything!

You are asked…
… You claim that Allaah is the Rabb of all that exists, but there are those amongst mankind who deny His existence. Does the denial of Allaah’s existence decrease His Ruboobeeyah in any way?
Yes, another thought-provoking question - and it’s open to everyone!

The Word ‘rabb’
If someone told you that in the Qur`aan, there are references to ‘rabb’, but not referring to Allaah, what would your response be?
“`Ittaqullaah (fear Allaah)!”; “Astagfirullaah!”
Yes, it would most probably be one of those. However, maybe it would be…
“Where’s your proof?”; “Show me!”
The truth is, there are such references in the Qur`aan - and this post will highlight the great importance of learning the language of the Qur`aan: Arabic.
Let’s define it
Before anyone goes on a tangent that I am sliding on the slopes to kufr (and I seek refuge with Allaah from this) by stating that the Qur`aan mentions ‘rabb’ while not referring to Allaah, let us first define what this word means linguistically.
