Ruboobiyyah is derived from the root word Rabb (Lord), which can be defined as:

The True and complete Owner

The One Who is obeyed

The One who nourishes, takes care of everything

Almost every du’aa begins with Rabb, as it is a very personal name by which to call Allah.

Ruboobiyyah pertains to acknowledging that Allah alone caused all things to

In light of this, the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) would often repeat the phrase:

‘La hawla wa la quwwata illa billaah’

Normal talbiyyah: “Labbaika Allahumma Labbaik. Labbaik La Shareeka Laka Labbaik. Innal-

Hamdah, Wan-Ni’matah, Laka wal Mulk, La Shareeka Lak.”

“Here I am O Allah, (in response to Your call), here I am. Here I am, You have no partner, here I

am. Verily all praise, grace and sovereignty belong to You. You have no partner.”

The modified talbiyyah: “Labbaika Allahumma Labbaik. Labbaik illa Shareeka huwa lak

“Here I am O Allah, (in response to Your call), here I am. Here I am, You have no partner, except

a partner who belongs to you, and whom you control, but does not control you.”

SESSION SUMMARY

In essence, the Qur’an came to emphasise

Uloohiyyah (i.e. worshipping Allah alone),

the concept of Ruboobiyyah is a given – the

aim is to raise our level of pure faith.

Ruboobiyyah necessitates Uloohiyyah!
