The Relationship between Monotheistic Lordship and Divine Providence in the Qur'anic Thought System

The present writings' center is the issue of monotheistic lordship (altawhid al-rububi) and the analysis of the Qur'anic view on it. Titles of guidance, aid, assistance and the like are related to monotheistic lordship that in the philosophical system are called "providence" ('Enayah). The mutual relation between these titles and the issue of monotheistic lordship is because that most of polytheistic beliefs begin from some phases after accepting the existence of God and belief in God as the creator of the world. The Qur'anic verses state that the irreligious people believed in oneness of creator, but they believe in polytheism at the phase of lordship and consequently in the phase of monotheism in worship. After exploring the nature of monotheistic lordship, the present research had resulted to prove that the Divine Lordship formed of two components of Knowledge and Divine Absolute Power along with the Divine Free Will.
