Tawheed ar-Ruboobeeyah means that we accept Allah as being the only real power in the universe. He caused all things to exist when there was nothing; thus, He is calledالخالق al-Khaaliq, the Creator. He is the one who gave all things the power to grow, to move and to change, so He is called ar-Rabb Nothing happens except what He allows to happen; He is called al- Maalik, the owner of The Universe
When someone does evil, we recognize that it was Allaah who gave him a mind to think of evil, a body able to do it, and that it was by Allah's permission that he was able to put his bad idea into practice. We should not say that Allah caused him to do evil, because man chooses evil by himself, Instead, we should say that Allah gave him the power to be able to think and do evil. He could not have done evil unless Allah allowed it to happen, and he could not have thought to do evil unless Allah gave him the ability to do so. But he chose to do evil by himself and Allah let him to do it.
Allah controls all that happens, good or bad, when we want to avoid some misfortune or get some good fortune, we should only turn to Allah and seek his help. If we depend on created things which the common people call good luck charms, (like rabbit's feet and horse shoes ), to bring us good luck, we have destroyed this section of Tawheed by committing the biggest sin possible, known as Shirk. Similarly, if we fear created things which the common people believe will cause bad luck (like spilling salt, black cats crossing our paths, breaking mirrors, etc. ), thinking that we have saved ourselves from bad luck, we have also committed Shirk and destroyed this section of Tawheed
