mother nature

[Aqdas]

in the recent series on noor tv (sky 819), shaykh muhammad al-ya'qubi talked briefly about the term mother nature. he said we shouldn't use it because it means that nature is the real cause of occurrences, not Allah. he also talked about mother earth and i believe he said it is ok to use this term. someone can correct me if i misremember.

if someone has the book of Allah series recorded, it would be useful to upload this part.

similarly, he said he didn't like lord for Allah as in rabbil 'aalameen, sometimes translated as lord of the worlds.

he said he preferred sustainer/cherisher because lord in the english langauge and politics would convey the wrong meaning for Allah. we have the house of lords etc.
