SHIRK (ASSOCIATION Of OTHERS With ALLAH in WORSHIP) ⇨ Shirk is divided into two categories:
1)▸▸ MAJOR SHIRK (MAJOR POLYTHEISM) .
☞ It necessitates the failure of deeds and remaining forever in the Hell-fire as per Qur’anic account ..
“But if they have joined in worship others with Allah, what they used to do would have been of no benefit to them”. Qur'an 6:88.
☞ Whoever dies in a state of Shirk, will not be forgiven and will not be allowed into Paradise, pursuant to God saying ..
“ Verily Allah forgives not (the sign of) setting up partners in worship with Him but He forgives, whom He Pleases, sins other than that.” Q 4:116
And Allah says: “ Verily whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allah then Allah Has Forbidden Paradise for him and the Fire will be his abode; and for the Thalimoon (polytheists and wrong-doers) there are no helpers.” Q 5:72.
◙ SHIRK categorized under this type includes ▸▸
◖ calling those who are dead (including the prophet Muhammed pbuh and righteous people ) ..
◖ praying to idols ( Including graves ) for help and for relief, pledging to them and offering animals for slaughter as a sign of obedience to them etc., ..
2)▸▸ MINOR SHIRK (MINOR POLYTHEISM) .
☞ It is the type proved by the texts of Quran and Sunnah to be called Shirk, but it is not categorized under Major Shirk. Such as, hypocrisy in some deeds, to swear by those other than ALLAH (Including swearing by Muhammed pbuh , and swearing by the Qur'an)
◍ The prophet BPUH said ;
‘‘He who swore by other than Allah had fallen in Kufr or Shirk”
[At-Tirmidhi]
◍ He pbuh also said ;
“Do not say Allah wills (ordains), and so and so (too) wills, but say that Allah wills (ordains), and then so and so wills.”
[Abu Dawood]
This type of Shirk (i.e. Minor Shirk) does not necessitate apostasy of remaining in Hell fire, but it lacks the perfection of the obligatory Tauheed.
☟ DISGUISED SHIRK ☟
▤ Disguised Shirk may fall into both types i.e. Major Shirk and minor Shirk. It may fall in the major Shirk such as ‘the Shirk of hypocrites’, because they conceal their bad faith and pretend to be Muslims to cover themselves.
▤ Disguised Shirk may also fall in the category of minor Shirk such as “Riya“, (to do good deeds or beautify them to be seen by men) as stated in the following Hadeeth..
▤ the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said ;
“ May I tell you of what I fear very much, that might harm you more than Al-Masih aad-Dajjal?” (the False Messiah)
The audience said “Yes, Prophet of Allah”.
He said, “The disguised Shirk...when a man gets up to pray and strives to beautify his prayer, because people are looking at him.”
[Ahmed]
May Allah Grant us the success in escaping from these dangers , Ameeen!!
