Engaging in that which contravenes the monotheism of Lordship
People may engage in actions or adopt a belief that is in contradiction with the monotheism of Lordship. The following are some examples of which: (i) believing that there is another being who acts together with Allah in anything related to controlling the universe like origination, expunction, giving life, causing death, bringing benefit, or averting harm, and other actions of Lordship, (ii) believing that Allah has a contender in any requisite of His Names and Attributes, such like His Magnificence, Majesty, the knowledge of the unseen, and so on, (iii) and believing that there is another lawgiver besides Allah, the Exalted, because He is the only Lord, and His Lordship encompasses His universal and legal command.

Denying the Monotheism of Allah’s Lordship
None of humankind denied the monotheism of Lordship except an aberrant group of obstinate deniers of what is deeply rooted in their innate nature. Their denial was through their tongues, despite their acknowledgment of the truth deep within themselves as was stated by Allah, the Exalted concerning Pharoah and his people. Allah, Exalted be He, said: And they rejected them, while their inner selves were convinced thereof, out of injustice and haughtiness. So, see how the end of the corrupters was. an-Naml: 14
Communists and other groups that delved deep into philosophy and the natural sciences like physics and so on are among those who denied the monotheism of Allah’s lordship. They denied Allah’s Lordship and His Existence because their false belief only believes in the matter and disbelieves in the unseen.
