In 12:106, Allah says
that majority of those who consider themselves believers are
in fact, MUSHRIKEEN.
012:106 And most of
them believe not in Allah without doing SHIRK!
The following forms of
Shirk have been given in the Quran
1. Taking human beings
from among ourselves as Lords or Patrons besides Allah
3:64 Say, “O People of
the Book! Let us come to a mutual agreement, that we shall
worship and obey none but God. That neither shall we ascribe
divinity to anyone beside Him, nor shall we take human
beings from among ourselves as our lords beside God.” And if
they turn away, then say, “Bear witness that it is we who
have surrendered ourselves unto Him.”
2. Taking angels or
Prophets as Lords or Patrons besides Allah
3:80 Nor would he
instruct you to take the angels and the Prophets for lords
and patrons. Would he command you to disbelieve after you
have surrendered to Allah?
3. Taking Ahbaar and
Rahbaan (religious authorities) as Lords and Patrons besides
Allah
9:31 They take their
rabbis, priests and monks or ascetics to be their Lords*
besides Allah. And they take as their Lord, the Messiah son
of Mary. Yet they were commanded to worship but One God.
There is no god but He. Praise and Glory to Him, He is far
too Glorious for what they ascribe to Him. (*Talmud shows
the Jewish superstition of ascribing divinity to Ezra,
rabbis, saints, doctors of law and learned men. And the
doctrine of Papal infallibility, divinity of saints and
praying to them are common in the Roman Catholic Church).
9:34 O You who have
chosen to be graced with belief! A great many religious
leaders, rabbis, priests, monks, mullahs, yogis, and mystics
devour the wealth of mankind in falsehood, and debar them
from the Path of Allah. All those who hoard up gold and
silver and spend it not in the Cause of Allah, to them give
tidings (O Prophet) of a painful doom.
12:39 “O My prison mates!
Are several Lords differing among themselves better, or
Allah, the One, the Insuperable?”
4. Worshipping,
obeying and adoring [IBADAT of] anything besides Allah
4:36 Obey, adore and
worship Allah and associate no partner with Him…
18:110 Say (O Prophet),
"I am but a mortal man like all of you. It is revealed to me
that your God is the One and Only God. Hence, whoever looks
forward to meeting His Sustainer, let him do works that help
others, and let him admit no one as partner in the service [Ibadat]
of his Sustainer. ”
24:55 Allah has promised
that those of you peoples who will believe in the Divine
Laws and strengthen human resources, He will surely make
them rulers in the earth - Just as He granted rule to the
previous nations (28:6), (33:27). He will surely establish
for them the System of life that He has approved for them,
and will replace their fear with peace and security. All
this because they serve Me alone. They ascribe no partner to
Me. But all who, after this, deny these Laws will drift out
(of the community of living nations. The ‘belief’ in this
verse does not pertain to any dogmas and tenets, but to the
realization that the entire Universe is operating under the
unchangeable Physical Laws of One Supreme Authority, thus
providing the basis for all Science and Technology).
5. Taking
Masters [Wali] other than Allah
6:14 Say, “Shall I take
for my master [Wali] other than Allah Who is the Initiator
of the heavens and the earth? And He provides all without
return. Feeds but is not fed.” Say, “ I have been commanded
to be the foremost among those who surrender to Him and
ascribe not divinity besides Him.”
6. Taking ILAH other
than Allah
6:19 Say (O Messenger),
"What could be the greatest witness?” Say, “Allah is Witness
between me and you. This Qur’an has been revealed to me so
that I may warn you as well as whomever it reaches. Do you
bear witness that there are other deities besides Allah?”
Say, “I bear no such witness.” Say, “He is the One God [ILAH].
I disown what you associate with Him.”
7. Taking Jinns as
partners of Allah
6:100 Yet, there are
people who think falsely that there are invisible creatures,
Jinns, with occult powers that share the Divine Attributes.
But He has created them, and people assign sons and
daughters to Him out of sheer ignorance. Glorified, Exalted
is He, infinitely Above what they ascribe to Him.
8. Obeying
devil-inspired people
6:121 Eat not anything
(not just meat) unless the Name of Allah has been pronounced
first, for that will mean drifting away from Commands. The
rebellious or devils [among people] inspire their companions
to dispute with you. If you people obey them, you will be
associating others with Allah.
9. Calling upon others
[graves, mystics, saints, idols, etc.] besides Allah for
help
7:189 (The Message
encompasses life in its totality.) Recall that Allah created
life from a single life cell, then made male and female
cells, and then shaped you into human beings, males and
females. He designed it such that man might incline with
love towards the woman. When he gets intimate with her, she
carries a light load that she can hardly notice. As she
grows heavy with the child, they both implore Allah, their
Lord, “If you indeed grant us a healthy baby, we shall
certainly be among the grateful.”
7:190 But as soon as He
grants them a sound baby, they begin to ascribe to other
powers beside Him a share in bringing about what He has
granted them. Exalted is He, High Above all that they
associate with Him.
7:191 Do they ascribe to
Him as partners things that can create nothing, but are
themselves created?
7:192 And they cannot
help them, nor can they help themselves.
7:193 When you invite
them to the Guidance, they follow you not. It is the same
for you whether you invite them or remain silent.
7:194 Those whom you call
upon besides Allah, [such as mystics and saints], are people
like you. Go ahead and call upon them, let them respond by
helping you if you are true in your belief.
7:195 Do the idols have
feet to walk, hands to hold, eyes to see and ears to hear?
(Likewise, these human demigods have no foundation of Truth
to stand on, nor the power to avert Requital, nor the
faculties of confronting Reason). Tell the opponents of the
Message, "Call upon your idols and your so-called partners
of Allah, contrive what you can, and give me no respite.
7:196 My Protecting
Friend [Wali] is Allah Who has revealed this Book, and He
befriends the righteous.”
7:197 Whomever you call
instead of Him, have no power to help you, nor can they help
themselves.
7:198 Such people are
lost in their reverence of false deities. When you invite
them to Guidance, they hear without listening and you see
them looking at you, but they see not.
28:87 And let them not
divert you from Allah's Revelations after they have been
sent down unto you. But, invite people to your Lord and be
not among Mushrikeen.
28:88 (Keeping pristine
the Divinely ordained System of Life) call not upon [human
‘authorities’ and man-made systems as] gods side by side
with Allah. There is no god but He. Everything is mortal
except His Eternal Self. To Him belong all Governance and
all Judgment, and unto Him you shall be returned.
34:22 Say, “Call upon
those whom you imagine beside Allah! They have not an atom’s
weight of power either in the heavens or in the earth, nor
have they any share in either, nor does He need any of them
as a helper.”
10. To ascribe Allah’s
partners in His Kingship or dominion [maalikiyyat]
17:111 And say, "All
Praise is due to Allah Who begets not an offspring, and has
no partner in His Dominion, and has absolutely no weakness,
hence no need of any aid." And so, extol His limitless
Greatness.
25:2 (The Sender of this
Criterion is) He to Whom belongs the Kingship of the heavens
and the earth. He has chosen no son, nor does He have a
partner in His Kingship. He it is Who creates all things in
precise design and gives them the potential to become what
they are meant to be.
11. To ascribe Allah’s
partners in His Command or Rule [Hukm]
18:26 Say, “Allah knows
best how long they remained there.” His alone is the
knowledge of the hidden reality of the heavens and the
earth. How well does He see and hear! They have no guardian
apart from Him and He shares His Command or Rule with none
whosoever
12. To ascribe Allah’s
partners in His Lordship [Raboobiyyat]
18:38 “As for me, God is
my Lord and I will never associate any other god besides my
Lord.”
18:42 And thus it
happened. One day, the arrogant man’s fruitful gardens were
indeed wiped out. And there he was, twisting and turning his
hands in sorrow. He lost his property which was now tumbled
to pieces in complete ruin. And he could only say, "Oh, I
wish I never worshiped anyone (even my property) instead of
my Lord!”
72:2 “It shows the way to
Enlightenment, so we have come to believe in it. And we
shall never again ascribe a partner unto our Lord.”
72:20 Say, "I call unto
my Lord alone and associate no one with Him (I heed no one
against His Laws)."
13. To be divided into
sects
30:31 Turn unto Him alone
then, and be mindful of Him, and establish the Divine System
and be not of the MUSHRIKEEN who ascribe authorities along
with Him. (2:213).
30:32 The MUSHRIKEEN who
split up their religion, and become sects - each sect
delighting in whatever beliefs they have. ((3:104), (6:160),
(23:53), (42:13). Sectarianism is invariably based upon
taking humans as ‘authorities’).
14. Failing to
establish the Just Economic System of Zakat
41:6 (O Prophet) say to
them, "I am only a human being like you. It has been
revealed to me that your God is One God. Therefore, march
along the Straight Road to Him and seek the protection of
His forgiveness. And (know that) there is nothing in store
but loss for them who associate ‘partners’ with Him." (‘Wayl’
= Woe = Ultimate loss).
41:7 Those who (because
of submitting to man-made systems) fail to set up the Just
Economic Order of Zakat and thus practically deny (the
accountability in) the life to come. (And the long-term
prosperity and viability of their societies).
