ar son do not associate partners to Allah, Truly idolatry is a great
injustice." Luqman 31:12
"Allah does not forgive idolatry, yet he will forgive other than that,
to whomever he pleases." The Women 4:48
Shirk in the Arabic language means to co share or to share
In the sacred law it means to make a partner to God, in essence or worship
There are six types of Shirk:
1. Shirk Istqlal: Autonomous idolatry – tobelief in separate deities
i.e. Zoroastrians
2. Shirk Tab'ad: separate idolatry – to say God is one of three
3. Shirk Taqrib: approximate idolatry – tosay that they are
worshipping idols to get closer to God.
4. Shirk Taqlid: Imitative idolatry – to follow fathers
5. Shirk Falsafa: idolatry of the philosophers – to believe that there
is a power other than God
6. Shirk Al-Gharad: idolatry of intention – this is carry out actions
for other God, in intention
The first four are considered as disbelief/kufr
The fifth: we have to findout: a) if he believes that something has
independence power then it is kufr, b) if they believe that they have
a power by God then this isinnovation/Bi'da
The sixth is a sin
Shirk/idolatry is minor and major.
One to five are major idolatry and number six in minor because of the
hadith that it is minor idolatry when the Prophet (peace and blessings
of Allah be upon him) warned the companions. The Prophetsaid, "I only
fear for you minor idolatry." The companions asked, "What is minor
idolatry?"He replied, "Ostentation."(Imam Ahmed Musnad 23119)
According to other scholars they state idolatry is three kinds:
1. Idolatry in Lordship/Rububiyyah by two things: a) to deny God and
say he is created, b) to say someone can create other than God.
2. Idolatry in Uluhiyyah: this is worship of other things, this is
major and the minor shirk has been explained before
3. Idolatry in names and attributes of God, this is of two types: A)
to consider something similar to God, someone can forgive other than
him. B) To make god similar to creation

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
