First Foundation of Shirk28

The disbelievers, whom the Messenger fought, affirmed (Tawheed of Allah’s Lordship) that Allah is the Creator and Disposer of all affairs, yet their affirmation did not enter them into Islam (why?)

Second Foundation 32

The mushrikeen, who were called mushrikeen (i.e., disbelievers) by Allah and were declared to be eternally abiding in Hell, did not commit Shirk in Allah’s Lordship. They did not claim that their lords create and provide with Allah or they benefit or harm, or run the affairs alongside Allah but they did take their deities as intercessors

Shafaa’ah (intercession) and its Types.34

Third Foundation 38

Allah’s Messenger came to a people who differed in their object of worship; some worshiped the Angels while others worshiped the Prophets and pious, also there were those who worshiped stones and trees and some worshiped the sun and the moon, but the Prophet did not differentiate between them – rather he considered all of them to be mushrikeen

Fourth Foundation 56

The mushrikeen (those who commit shirk) of our time are worse in Shirk than the previous generations because the former generations committed Shirk during times of ease but they would become sincere during difficult times unlike the mushrikeen of today, whose Shirk is continuous; at times of ease and hardship.

The First Foundation

The disbelievers, whom the Messenger fought, affirmed that Allah is the Creator and Disposer of all affairs, yet their affirmation did not enter them into Islam and the proof of that is the Saying of Allah, “Say, ‘Who provides for you from the sky and from the earth? Or who owns your hearing and sight? And Who brings out the living from the dead and brings out the dead from the living? And who disposes the affairs?’ They will say, ‘Allah.’” [Soorah Yunus (10): 31]

The Second Foundation

They (the Arab pagans) said, “We do not call upon them and turn towards them except to seek nearness and intercession (with Allah).”

The proof of (the fact that they sought) nearness with Allah is, “Those who take awliya besides Him (say), ‘We worship them only that they may bring us near to Allah.’ Verily, Allah will judge between them concerning that wherein they differ. Truly, Allah guides not him who is a liar, and a disbeliever.” [Soorah az-Zumar (39): 3]

Shafa’ah (intercession) is of two kinds,

• The Forbidden Shafa’ah and
• The Affirmed Shafa’ah.

The forbidden Shafa’ah is the one that is sought from other than Allah concerning a matter which only Allah is able to do and the proof is the Saying of Allah, “O you who believe, Spend of that with which We have provided for you, before a Day comes when there will be no bargaining, nor friendship, nor intercession. And it is the disbelievers who are the Dhalimoon (wrongdoers, etc.)” [Soorah al- Baqarah (2): 254]

The affirmed Shafa’ah is that which is sought from Allah, and the intercessor is honored with the intercession and the one on behalf of whom the intercession is sought is someone whose deeds and speech are pleasing to Allah, (all of these conditions should be fulfilled) after Allah has given the Permission for intercession as Allah says, “Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission?…” [Soorah al-Baqarah (2): 255]

The Third Foundation

Allah’s Messenger came to a people who differed in their object of worship; some worshiped the Angels while others worshiped the Prophets and pious, also there were those who worshiped stones and trees and some worshiped the sun and the moon, but the Prophet did not differentiate between them. The proof is the Saying of Allah, “Fight them until there is no more Fitnah (i.e., Shirk) until the religion (worship) will all be for Allah Alone.” [Soorah al-Anfal (8): 39]

The proof of the sun and the moon is, “From among His signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Do not prostrate to the sun or the moon…” [Soorah Fussilat (41): 37]

The proof of the Angels is the Saying of Allah, “Nor would he order you to take Angels and Prophets for lords (god). Would he order you to disbelieve after you have submitted to Allah’s Will?” [Soorah aali-Imran (3): 80]

The proof of the Prophets is the Saying of Allah, “When Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection), ‘O Eesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Did you say unto men, ‘Worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allah?’ He will say, ‘Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it. You know what is in my inner-self though I do not know what is in Yours, truly, You, only You, are the All-Knower of all that is hidden and unseen.'” [Soorah al-Maidah (5): 116]

The proof of the Saliheen (righteous) is the saying of Allah,

“Those whom they call upon desire (for themselves) means of access to their Lord (Allah), as to which of them should be the nearest and they hope for His Mercy and fear His Torment.” [Soorah al-Isra (17): 57]

The proof of stones and trees is the Saying of Allah, “Have you considered al-Laat and al-Uzza. And Manaat, and the other third?” [Soorah an-Najm (53): 19-20]

The hadeeth of Abu Waaqid al-Laythee who said, ‘We departed with the Prophet � to Hunain and we had recently left Kufr. The mushrikeen used to have a tree which they used to devote themselves to and hang their weapons upon, they used to call it, ‘Dhaat Anwaat.’ We passed by a tree and said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, appoint for us a Dhaat Anwat like they have a Dhaat Anwat.’ He said, ‘Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar! By the One is whose Hand is my soul, these are the ways. The like of what you have said is like what Bani Israeel said to Moosa, ‘Make for us a god as they have gods.’ He said, ‘Verily, you are an ignorant people.’ [Soorah al-A’raaf (7): 138] [at-Tirmidhee]

The mushrikeen (those who commit shirk) of our time are worse in Shirk than the previous generations because the former generations committed Shirk during times of ease but they

would become sincere during difficult times unlike the mushrikeen of today, whose Shirk is continuous at times of ease and hardship. Proof is the Saying of Allah, “When they embark on a ship they invoke

Allah making their faith pure for Him only, but when He brings them safely to land, behold, they give a share of their worship to others.” [Soorah al-Ankaboot (29): 65]
