Do you know what is shirk ?


Well , everyone will say shirk is associating a partner with Allah !

I have a small question : Do you know what does that mean ?

Well , i will explain it because Shirk is the ONLY unforgivable crime because Allah say in Quran :

Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills. And he who associates others with Allah has certainly fabricated a tremendous sin

(Quran 4:48)

By the way i will explain some famous kinds of shirk :

~~To pray for other than Allah is a shirk

~~To think that Livelihood come from other than Allah is a shirk

~~To think that people can benefit you or harm you without the will of Allah is a shirk

~~To name someone with Allah's names is a shirk

~~If we think that Allah is like human being when he laugh or smile or speak or sit , it is a shirk because Allah said in Quran (42:11) : ".There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the Hearing, the Seeing"

~~To perform prayers (literally!) at the graveside, they sacrifice in the name of the dead saint and they make tawwaaf circumambulation) of the grave. Many of them even ask the dead saints to grant them children and to help them ! All this contradicts the statement of Allah when he commands us to:

"Say; Truly my prayer, my sacrifice, my life and my death are all for Allah, Lord of the worlds" (Surah Al-An'aam 6:162)

~~Showing off in worshipping Allah (ar-riya) is a shirk , like giving charity in public to make people thank you, or when you pray or recite Quran in public so people say good words about you...etc

~~Trusting manmade laws like democracy , communism , Socialism... is a kind of shirk , muslims should only trust the sharia law because On the authority of `Adi Ibn Hatim (ra), it is reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah reciting this Qur'anic verse:

" They have taken their rabbis and their monks as lords beside Allah and [they take as a lord] Al-Maseeh, `Eesaa, the son of Maryam, yet they were not commanded but to worship One God: None has the right to be worshipped but He - Praise and Glory to Him: [Far is He] from having the partners they associate [withHim]" (Qur'an 9:31)

"...and I said to him : "We don't worship them." He said: "Do they not forbid what Allah has permitted and do you not then forbid it (to yourselves), and do they not make permissible for you what Allah has forbidden, and do you not then make it permissible (to yourselves)?" I replied: "Certainly!" He said: "That is worshipping them." (Narrated by At-Tirmizi, who graded it as Hasan)

And we all know that manmade laws are against Islam in several points .


Please share with other muslims if you think it is important ..
