SHIRK
A. Definition: The omission
of any of the mentioned categories of tawheed or deficiency in the
fulfillment of any criteria of Tawheed is referred to as 'shirk'.
(Please note that the Arabic word 'Shirk' has the same sound as in
the English word 'ship' and not as in the English word 'shirk',which
means 'to evade' 'Shirk' literally means sharing or associating
partners. In Islamic terms it means associating partners with Allah
and is equivalent to idolatry. |
|
B. Shirk is the greatest sin that
Allah will never forgive:
|
Surah Al-Nisa |
Surah Al-Nisa |
|
"Allah forgives not That partners should be set up With Him;
but He forgives Anything else, to whom He pleases; to set up
Partners with Allah Is to devise a sin Most heinous indeed." |
"Allah forgives not (The sin of) joining other gods With Him;
but He forgives Whom He pleases other sins Than this: one who
joins Other gods with Allah, Has strayed far, far away (From
the Right)." |
|
[Al-Qur'an 4:48] |
[Al-Qur'an 4:116] |
C. Shirk leads to hell fire:
|
Surah Ma'idah |
|
"They do blaspheme who
say: 'Allah is Christ the son Of Mary.' But said Christ: 'O
Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord And your Lord'.
Whoever joins other gods with Allah - Allah will forbid him
the Garden, and the Fire Will be his abode. There will for the
wrongdoers no one to help." |
|
[Al-Qur'an 5:72] |
D. Worship and Obedience to none but
Allah:
|
Surah Ali-'Imran |
Surah Luqman |
|
Say: "O people of the Book! Come To
common terms As between us and you: That we worship none but
Allah; That we associate no partners with Him; That we erect
not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than
Allah." If then they turn back, Say ye: "Bear witness that we
(at least) Are Muslims (bowing to Allah's Will)." |
"And if all the trees on earth
were pens And the Ocean (were ink), with seven Oceans behind
it To add to its (supply), yet would not the Words Of Allah be
exhausted (In the writing): for Allah Is Exalted in power,
Full of Wisdom." |

[Al-Qur'an 3:64] |
[Al-Qur'an 31:27] |
