08. SHIRK KA KHATRA AUR SAZA [The Danger of Shirk]

The Danger of Shirk

 

1.  Allaah does not forgive whoever dies as a Mushrik without repenting.

 

*Mushrik*: Polytheist

 

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ اَنْ يُّشْرَكَ بِهٖ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُوْنَ ذٰلِكَ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۗءُ ۚوَمَنْ يُّشْرِكْ بِاللّٰهِ فَقَدِ افْتَرٰٓى اِثْمًا عَظِيْمًا 

            ۚ

Verily, Allah forgives not that partners should be set up with him in worship, but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom He pleases, and whoever sets up partners with Allah in worship, he has indeed invented a tremendous sin-

[ An-Nisa’a: 48]

 

 

 2. The Mushrik’s life and belongings are halal (lawful) for the Muslim.

 

فَإِذَا ٱنسَلَخَ ٱلْأَشْهُرُ ٱلْحُرُمُ فَٱقْتُلُوا۟ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ حَيْثُ وَجَدتُّمُوهُمْ وَخُذُوهُمْ وَٱحْصُرُوهُمْ وَٱقْعُدُوا۟ لَهُمْ كُلَّ مَرْصَدٍۚ فَإِن تَابُوا۟ وَأَقَامُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتَوُا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ فَخَلُّوا۟ سَبِيلَهُمْۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

 

 Then when the Sacred Months (the 1st, 7th, 11th, and 12th months of the Islamic calendar) have passed, then kill the Mushrikeen (see V.2:105) wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege them-

[ At-Tauba:05]

 

 3. Allaah doesn’t accept any good deed that the Mushrik commits, and all his good actions are worthless.

 

وَلَقَدۡ اُوۡحِیَ اِلَیۡکَ وَاِلَی الَّذِیۡنَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِکَ ۚ لَئِنۡ اَشۡرَکۡتَ لَیَحۡبَطَنَّ عَمَلُکَ وَلَتَکُوۡنَنَّ مِنَ الۡخٰسِرِیۡنَ

 

And indeed it has been revealed to you (O Muhammad), as it was to those (Allaah’s Messengers) before you: “If you join others in worship with Allaah, (then) surely (all) your deeds will be in vain, and you will certainly be among the losers.”

[ Az-zumr; 65]

 

4. Entering Janna (heaven) is unlawful for the Mushrik, and his final home is hell fire for eternity.

 
  اِنَّہٗ مَنْ یُّشْرِکْ بِاللّٰہِ فَقَدْ حَرَّمَ اللّٰہُ عَلَیْہِ الْجَنَّۃَ وَ مَاْوٰیہُ النَّارُ وَ مَا لِلظّٰلِمِیْنَ مِنْ اَنْصَارٍ

 

Verily, whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allaah, then Allaah has forbidden Paradise for him and the Fire will be his abode. And for the Zalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers) there are no helpers-”

[Al-Maeda : 72]

 

The Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said, “The first people who will be consumed by the fire are three: A scholar who has learned the Qur’an by heart, a mujahid (soldier for Allah) who was killed in the path of Allah, and a very rich man. The first to be called to account will be the reciter of the Qur’an. Allah will ask him, “Did I not teach you what I sent down to My Messenger?” He will say, “Yes, My Lord.” And Allah will ask him, “What did you do with this?” He will say, “I used to stand reciting by night and by day, hoping for your reward.”

Allah will say, “You lied,” and the Angels will say, “You lied,” and then Allah will say, “But you only wanted for people to say, so and so is a reciter of the

Qur’an. And they had already said it. Take him to Hell.” Then the rich man will be brought and Allah will ask him, “Was I not generous to you to the point that you were not in need of anyone?”

He will say, “Yes, My Lord.” Allah will ask him, “So what did you do with what

I gave you?” “My Lord, You provided me with wealth, and I spent it on the poor, hoping for your reward and for Paradise.” Allah will say, “You lied.” And the Angels will say, “You lied.” Allah will say, “Rather, you wanted them to say that so and so is a generous man. And that is what they said. Take him to Hell.”

Then the man who was killed in the path of Allah will be brought. Allah will

ask him, “Why were you killed?” He will say, “My Lord, I went out to battle for your sake and I fought the enemy until I was killed, hoping for your reward and for Paradise.” Allah will say, “You lied.” And the Angels will say, “You lied.”

Then Allah will say, “Rather, you fought so that people would say so and so is a brave man, and that is what they said. Now take him to Hell.”
