Source :Errors Made Concerning tawheed – by Shaykh Abdul-Aziz ar-Rayyis

2- The second error Muslims make in the Tawheed of Allaah, the Lord of all existence, is in explaining the kalima of Tawheed – La illaaha il Allaah. So they explain it to mean: There’s no Creator except Allaah [or] There’s no one who has the ability to originate except Allaah. So these explanations of La illaaha il Allaah are deficient, and in contrast to what has come in the Book [and Sunnah]. And this is in contrast to what Allaah has informed us of concerning the kufar of the Quraish, since they themselves affirmed that Allaah is The Creator and He is The Provider and He is The Disposer of all the affairs. As Allaah, The Exalted, has mentioned:
And verily, if you ask them: “Who created the heavens and the earth?” Surely, they will say: “Allāh (has created them).” (Az-Zumar 39:38)
So if this [The Only Creator] was the meaning of  La illaaha il Allaah, then they would have been mu’minoon (believers), and they would not have refused to say La illaaha il Allaah, and it would not have been perplexing to them. As Allaah said concerning them that they said: “Has he made the āliha (gods) (all) into One Ilāh (God – Allāh). Verily, this is a curious thing!” (Sad 38:5)
So the true meaning of the statement of Tawheed is: There is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah. And singling out Allaah alone in worship is what the kufar of Quraish denied. And this is what they were perplexed by. …So this is the true meaning of La illaaha il Allaah.
