To My servant who is sick: Heal, so he will heal, and I cannot say to My servant who is healthy: Fall sick! So he will fall sick, but the real action is for Allah, the Almighty.

So my ownership here is limited in terms of action, and limited in terms of comprehensiveness and generality, and thus it becomes clear to us how the uniqueness of Allah, the Almighty, was in ownership.

And as for the management, it is for a human, but we say: this management is limited;

Like the previous two aspects in ownership, not everything I own management in it, but I own management of what was under my ownership; likewise, I do not own its management except according to the law which allowed me this management.

And then it becomes clear that our saying: that Allah, the Almighty, is unique in creation and ownership and management: is a general absolute concept, not excluded from it is anything;

The second section: The oneness of divinity: And it is the exclusivity of Allah, the Almighty, in worship, by not being a servant to other than Allah; do not worship a king, nor a prophet, nor a saint, nor a sheikh, nor a mother, nor a father; do not worship except Allah alone;
