        Other forms of Shirk

        The Flow of Ideas

        Basically, Shirk relates to "ideas" that are inconsistent and against the ideas in the Qur'an. It is the "gods and ulamas inside ourselves" that count. Nothing can harm our relationship with Allah if we are not accepting these inconsistent "ideas" (<a href="http//quran.com/5/105">5105</a&gt.

        Consequence Self Acceptance Human Ideas Self Action (Conduct)
        vs. Qur'an Ideas

        No Shirk <- Internal Self <- Consistent <- Prophet Sulaiman build statues
        (Acceptance) Ideas for communication (<a href="http//quran.com/34/10-16">3410-16</a&gt

        Shirk <- Internal Self <- Inconsistent <- Worship Stone as God
        (Acceptance) Ideas

        Shirk <- Internal Self <- Inconsistent <- Worship Fire as God
        (Acceptance) Ideas

        Shirk <- Internal Self <- Inconsistent <- Worship Shiva as God
        (Acceptance) Ideas

        Shirk <- Internal Self <- Inconsistent <- Worship Jesus as God
        (Acceptance) Ideas

        Shirk <- Internal Self <- Inconsistent <- Follow the Ulama (Arbab)
        (Acceptance) Ideas (<a href="http//quran.com/3/150">3150</a&gt(<a href="http//quran.com/3/64">364</a&gt(<a href="http//quran.com/17/56-57">1756-57</a&gt(<a href="http//quran.com/23/47">2347</a&gt(<a href="http//quran.com/40/29">4029</a&gt
        http//static1.cargurus.com/gfx/cargurus/inventorylistings/circle_arrow_up_green_small.gif
        Gods & Ulamas (<a href="http//quran.com/45/23">4523</a&gt
        (Personal Adviser)
        http//static1.cargurus.com/gfx/cargurus/inventorylistings/circle_arrow_up_green_small.gif
        Level for Determination
        http//static1.cargurus.com/gfx/cargurus/inventorylistings/circle_arrow_up_green_small.gif
        "..Allah has not put for any man two hearts inside his body.." (<a href="http//quran.com/33/4">334</a&gt
        http//static1.cargurus.com/gfx/cargurus/inventorylistings/circle_arrow_up_green_small.gif
        Heart

        Therefore, the gods and ulamas are within ourselves. It is the "ideas" that are inconsistent with the Qur'anic Ideas.

        Therefore our primary question in life is how far we are able to control the ideas within ourselves?

        For the sake of testing ourselves and to realize the gods and ulamas inside ourselves, try to stop eating, drinking and sleeping for 3 straight days (72 hours). Are we able to achieve this target or we are still hypocrites? This is not suggested by the Qur'an, and only a simple self-test to prove the existence of gods and ulamas inside ourselves. A simple test to realize the flow of ideas within ourselves and how far we are able to control these ideas.

        Do the people think
        that they will be left to say,
        "We believe"
        and they will not be tried?

        But We have certainly tried those before them
        and Allah will surely make evident
        those who are truthful
        and He will surely make evident
        the liars

        Or do those who do evil deeds think they can outrun Us?
        Evil is what they judge
        (<a href="http//quran.com/29/2-4">292-4</a&gt

        "...Allah has not made for a man two hearts in his interior..." (334)

        Primary consequences....

        Indeed, IT IS A NOBLE QURAN
        In a protected Book <- if Allah says it is protected, who can unlock its true understanding?
        None can grasp it
        except those purified (from Shirk) <- the key to understand the true meaning of the Qur'an
        (5677-79)

        Level of understanding the Qur'an - on the standard of justly balanced
        Shirk (%) |<-- 100--> 90 --> 80 --> 70 --> 60 --> 50 --> 40 --> 30 --> 20 --> 10 -->| 0%
        Qur'an (%) |<-- 0 --> 10 --> 20 --> 30 --> 40 --> 50 --> 60 --> 70 --> 80 --> 90 -->| 100%

          Allah's Names by Just 99 Names ?. I think you are referring Hadith

            Peace Brother,

            Allah's Names by Just 99 Names ?. I think you are referring Hadith

            Salam jhonsonmustafa,

            Yes brother, for easy understanding and this thread is not related to Asma Ul Husna. You can open a new thread to discuss in depth about the names/attributes of Allah.

            As for this thread, I'm referring to what is generally accepted by Muslim.

            It is translated as The Best Identifiers ( 208 )

            What is "Identifiers"?

            one that identifies

            Noun 1. identifier - a symbol that establishes the identity of the one bearing it
            symbol - an arbitrary sign (written or printed) that has acquired
            a conventional significance

            Therefore, must Allah names/attributes be specific?

            Not necessarily be specific names/attributes, and it is sufficient for us to understand Allah's attributes.

            Further, there is nothing wrong to refer to a hadith on "the standard of justly balanced" (or refer to other religious books, and so as other books that relates to science, mathematics, philosophy, economy etc.), unless to those who belong to sects or religious dogma, whatever their names are (label/illusion).

            Peace brother.

            p/s If you don't mind.. I would like to ask "Whether waiting/hoping for a Messenger or savior to come and save us is a Shirk?" What is your opinion on the matter?

                Salam,

                For religious people.. yes, but I am not religious people, sorry.

                Just and balance has no religion and it is the Deen of Islam.

                Further, there is nothing wrong to refer to a hadith on "the standard of justly balanced" (or refer to other religious books, and so as other books that relates to science, mathematics, philosophy, economy etc.), unless to those who belong to sects or religious dogma, whatever their names are (label/illusion).

                Ibrahim was not a Jew <- Ibrahim has no religion. So as Muhammad, not a Jew/Christian (religion).
                nor a Christian http//api.ning.com/files/uGCxg7sZSOsBbNwvSUN0m6uFBP5OUvR7e-3lYPcnfzzdki1NKdfBKi*MBEzKhhqFLbCaNgzbOCTwHTwBFp0cz3nyqUP-l7F1/arrowDownSmall.png
                but he was (an) upright (man) <- showing a great concern for what is right, fair and truthful way
                a Muslim <- defined by the above ayat - an upright man - obedience and justly balanced.
                and he was not one of the polytheists <- Concern with right/wrong in religious matters - 3030-32

                Most surely the nearest of people to Ibrahim
                are those
                who followed him
                and this Prophet
                and those who believe
                and Allah is the guardian of the believers
                (367-6

                I'm from Malaysia and practicing all faiths that are glorifying just and balance, whether it is from the hadith, other sects or any other religions. Islam rejects the idea of religion and the only way to reject all religions is to accept all religions. Peace!! )

                peace brother.

                  And set forth to them a parable of two men
                  for one of them We made two gardens of grape vines
                  and We surrounded them both with palms
                  and in the midst of them We made cornfields

                  Both these gardens yielded their fruits
                  and failed not aught thereof
                  and We caused a river to gush forth in their midst

                  And he possessed much wealth

                  so he said to his companion, while he disputed with him

                  I have greater wealth than you, and am mightier in followers <- Shirk? This is what most people
                  https//www.google.com/help/hc/images/sites_icon_arrow_up_small.gif would say. Greater wealth,
                  And he entered his garden https//www.google.com/help/hc/images/sites_icon_arrow_up_small.gif knowledge, skills, family etc.
                  while he was unjust to himself, He said <- On the issue of justly balanced within ourselves.
                  I do not think that this will ever perish <- This is also what most people would say.
                  And I do not think the hour will come i.e. not come within the next few hours, days, years etc.
                  and even if I am returned to my Lord <- Same, and most people believe they will be in Paradise.
                  I will most certainly find a returning place better than this Proof that he believe in Allah and the
                  Hour will come, but not in his lifetime.
                  His companion said to him while disputing with him

                  Do you disbelieve in Him <- Shirk?
                  Who created you from dust
                  then from a small seed
                  then He made you a perfect man?

                  But as for me
                  He, Allah, is my Lord
                  and I do not associate anyone with my Lord <- Who is "anyone" in this story context? Self?

                  And wherefore did you not say when you entered your garden
                  It is as Allah has pleased, there is no power save in Allah?
                  If you consider me to be inferior to you in wealth and children
                  Then maybe my Lord will give me what is better than your garden

                  and send on it a thunderbolt from heaven
                  so that it shall become even ground without plant
                  Or its waters should sink down into the ground
                  so that you are unable to find it
                  And his wealth was destroyed
                  so he began to wring his hands
                  for what he had spent on it
                  while it lay, having fallen down upon its roofs, and he said

                  Ah me! would that I had not associated anyone with my Lord
                  And he had no host to help him besides Allah
                  nor could he defend himself

                  Here is protection only Allah's
                  the True One
                  He is best in (the giving of) reward
                  and best in requiting

                  And set forth to them parable of the life of this world
                  like water which We send down from the cloud
                  so the herbage of the earth
                  becomes tangled on account of it
                  then it becomes dry broken into pieces which the winds scatter
                  and Allah is the holder of power over all things

                  Wealth and children are an adornment of the life of this world
                  and the ever-abiding
                  the good works
                  are better with your Lord in reward
                  and better in expectation

                    Therefore our primary question in life is how far we are able to control the ideas within ourselves?

                    Shirk in the form of a very fine, the pleasure felt while dzikr, salat or ibada etc, and which motivates us to do more ibada, salat or dzikr etc. It is so because our ibada will not be because of Allah, but because of the excitement performing ibada etc, ie. self. However, this is not necessarily damaging since we will be divided into three groups (567-10). It is just something to be taken into consideration, by those who wish to find the ultimate truth.

                    And the soul and Him Who made it perfect
                    Then He inspired it
                    to understand
                    what is right
                    and wrong for it
                    He will indeed be successful who purifies it
                    And he will indeed fail who corrupts it
                    (917-10)

                    Smart and brilliant people can never know reality and Allah. Because they are too smart.

                    http//s12.postimg.org/kyqnw00yh/glass.png

                    And rely on Allah
                    and Allah is sufficient for a Protector.
                    Allah has not made for a man two hearts in his interior.
                    (333-4)

                    Our glass will first need to be emptied and clean.
                    (100% obedience and free from shirk)

                    http//s14.postimg.org/tp4not4vl/glasses.png

                    Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth
                    a likeness of His light is as a niche in which is a lamp
                    the lamp is in a glass
                    (and) the glass is as it were a brightly shining star
                    lit from a blessed olive-tree
                    neither eastern nor western
                    the oil whereof almost gives light though fire touch it not
                    light upon light
                    Allah guides to His light whom He pleases
                    and Allah sets forth parables for men
                    and Allah is Cognizant of all things
                    (2435)

                      The key to understand justly balanced is always in the opposite condition (understanding of right and wrong, good or evil etc.), and mostly and mostly attainable at the highest level of condition. For example

                      To understand Ar-Rahman (The All-Compassionate) ...
                      We must fully understand the condition and "pleasure" of being treated harshly; (0).

                      To understand Ar-Rahim (The All-Merciful) ...
                      We must fully understand the condition and "pleasure" of being treated cruelly; (0).

                      To understand Al-`Adl (The Just) ...
                      We must fully understand the condition and "pleasure" of being treated unjustly; (0).

                      and so on..

                      It was a tough one but only through this process our heart (glass) can become empty and we will rely entirely on Allah (no other option). Otherwise, we are relying on ourselves (ego) or others, not Allah.

                      Say He has power to send torment on you <- how Allah guide us to what is just and balance?
                      from above
                      or from under your feet
                      or to cover you with confusion in party strife
                      and make you to taste
                      the violence of one another
                      See how variously We explain the Ayat
                      so that they may understand.
                      (665)

                      Example on the standard required to attain righteousness

                      By no means shall you attain to righteousness
                      until you spend (benevolently)
                      out of what you love
                      and whatever thing you spend
                      Allah surely knows it
                      (392)

                      And they ask you as to what they should spend (sadaqah)
                      Say What you can spare
                      Thus does Allah make clear to you the communications
                      that you may ponder
                      (2219)

                      The recommended method for obedience of the Qur'an is initially through mastering the ibada of fasting (days), sadaqah, reading the Qur'an or dzikr and while doing good to others.

                      This is the Book (the Quran)
                      whereof there is no doubt
                      a guidance to those who are Al-Muttaqun <- The first condition to understand the Qur'an.
                      (22) Other than Al-Muttaqun?

                      Therefore, first objective = becoming Al-Muttaqun

                      Fast "..decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you
                      that you may become righteous.." (2183)
                      http//api.ning.com/files/uGCxg7sZSOsBbNwvSUN0m6uFBP5OUvR7e-3lYPcnfzzdki1NKdfBKi*MBEzKhhqFLbCaNgzbOCTwHTwBFp0cz3nyqUP-l7F1/arrowDownSmall.png
                      Sadaqah "..Take from their wealth a charity by which you purify them
                      and cause them increase.." (9103)

                      And in no way will you (even) be a guide to the blind out of their errancy
                      decidedly you will not make any to hear
                      except for the ones who believe in Our signs
                      and so they are Muslims (i.e., those that surrender to Allah)
                      (3053)

                        hadith = shirk hypno

                        It's obvious but many fail to see it! nope

                        Excellent.
                        22 This is the Book. hence all other books other than Quran belongs to dustbin.
                        7750 Then in what statement (by Bukhari Hadith )after the Qur'an will they believe?

                          I believe you are reading the ayat out of its context and its true meaning.

                          RED Can you please explain verse 7750?

                          This is the Day of Judgement
                          We will have assembled you and the former peoples
                          So if you have a plan, then plan against Me
                          Woe, that Day, to the deniers
                          Indeed, the righteous will be among shades and springs
                          And fruits from whatever they desire

                          Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

                          indeed, you are criminals
                          Woe, that Day, to the deniers

                          (7738-50) Day of Judgement? Doing good?

                          ir'ka
                          = Ra-Kaf-Ayn = bowed, bent, incline, humility, humble yourself, lower the head, fell upon his face, stumbled.

                          And I don't understand why are referring to 22.

                          This is the Book about which there is no doubt
                          a guidance for those conscious of Allah
                          (22)

                          Where did Allah say it is shirk to follow what is justly balance?

                          Where did Allah command us to reject signs not in the Qur'an?

                          The risk of reading ayat out of its true meaning or context..

                          Do you covet
                          that they would believe for you
                          while a party of them used to hear the words of Allah
                          and then distort the Torah after they had understood it
                          while they were knowing?

                            "Setting up partners" is not exclusive to the act of "creation". It's the setting up of partners of ANY kind including partners in source of guidance.

                            Hadith should be treated like any essay or article here on free-minds. Otherwise, you're risking setting up partners with God.

                              Salam nonplus,

                              I know and I'm rejecting unjust hadith (refer here).

                              However, Allah prohibits us to deny what justly balanced (for example, 7738-50 above).

                              To reject what is justly balanced on sectarian basis, is no difference than to be a sectarian itself.

                              It is a religion of Islam, and not a deen of Islam.

                              Therefore, can you give me an ayat that Allah prohibit us to follow what is justly balanced?

                              Can you give me an ayat where Allah command us to reject signs not in the Qur'an?

                              Peace brother.

                                  Therefore, can you give me an ayat that Allah prohibit us to follow what is justly balanced?

                                  Can you give me an ayat where Allah command us to reject signs not in the Qur'an?

                                  Peace brother.

                                  hadith != "signs not in the Qur'an"

                                  Furthermore, you seem to attach context to many things and somehow make it not apply to you.

                                  When God asks, rhetorically, "which hadith do you believe in?" It applies to any and everyone, not just the "non believers of judgement day". How quickly you limited the scope of that!

                                  Anyway, I get that I'm new here and this seems to be your thread so I'll refrain from commenting further.

                                    Salam nonplus,

                                    Can you give me an ayat where Allah command us to reject signs not in the Qur'an?

                                    Why can't you answer my simple questions and relying on the fallacy of generalization to make your points?
                                    Do you have ayats to support your conclusion?
                                    Do you really believe in the Qur'an or it is just your assumption?

                                    Furthermore, you seem to attach context to many things and somehow make it not apply to you.

                                    The difference is between the context what is justly balanced and what is not. You are referring to something that might have the element of justly balanced as unjust. You generalized the issue, as what religious people do, a sectarian. Therefore, you need to give me an authority for your conclusion, an ayat from the Qur'an.

                                    hadith != "signs not in the Qur'an"

                                    Have you ever read all the hadith, what is its story?

                                    Is it all unjust and not related to the signs in the Qur'an? (refer here)

                                    Prove it! That everything in a hadith is unjust, and your ibada (salat, fast, zakah, sadaqah, marriage, hajj and even the Qur'an translation etc) is free from any reference to the hadith.

                                    It sounds silly and ridiculous, right?

                                    When God asks, rhetorically, "which hadith do you believe in?" It applies to any and everyone, not just the "non believers of judgement day". How quickly you limited the scope of that!

                                    I already give you my reason and show how one can distort Allah's words to fit their religious purpose.

                                    Do you have ayats to counter my conclusion?

                                    The risk of reading ayat out of its true meaning or context..

                                    Do you covet
                                    that they would believe for you
                                    while a party of them used to hear the words of Allah
                                    and then distort the Torah after they had understood it
                                    while they were knowing?
                                    (275)

                                    Rather, they have denied that which they encompass not in knowledge
                                    and whose interpretation has not yet come to them
                                    Thus did those before them deny
                                    Then observe how was the end of the wrongdoers
                                    (1039)

                                      I believe Islam isn't a religion, but a submission to God. Thus, many people may be muslims without ''knowing it''. )

                                      Peace

                                        There is some truth in it and many not among the Muslim might be the Believers, and no one knows Allah's plan; Allah said, "Indeed, I know that which you do not know." (230).

                                        Expect the unexpected. )

                                        For Muslim, we just need to focus on our mission .. obedience and human unity.

                                        To each of you We prescribed a law and a method <- Other rules are also from Allah? Good? Bad?
                                        Had Allah willed, He would have made you one nation <- Allah refers to "nation"
                                        but to test you in what He has given you <- What is the test from Allah? Rejection?
                                        so race to good <- Allah considers there is good from another book or sect etc.?
                                        To Allah is your return all together
                                        and He will inform you concerning that over which you used to differ <- Who'll inform? You?
                                        (548) What is our mission?

                                        Peace.

                                          Salam jhonsonmustafa,

                                          I believe you are reading the ayat out of its context and its true meaning.

                                          RED Can you please explain verse 7750?

                                          This is the Day of Judgement
                                          We will have assembled you and the former peoples
                                          So if you have a plan, then plan against Me
                                          Woe, that Day, to the deniers
                                          Indeed, the righteous will be among shades and springs
                                          And fruits from whatever they desire
                                          , "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you used to do"
                                          Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.
                                          Woe, that Day, to the deniers
                                          , eat and enjoy yourselves a little
                                          indeed, you are criminals
                                          Woe, that Day, to the deniers
                                          And when it is said to them, "Bow," (ir'ka&#363 they do not bow
                                          Woe, that Day, to the deniers
                                          Then in what statement after the Qur'an will they believe? <- relating to those who deny the
                                          (7738-50) Day of Judgement? Doing good?

                                          ir'ka
                                          = Ra-Kaf-Ayn = bowed, bent, incline, humility, humble yourself, lower the head, fell upon his face, stumbled.

                                          And I don't understand why are referring to 22.

                                          This is the Book about which there is no doubt
                                          a guidance for those conscious of Allah
                                          (22)

                                          Where did Allah say it is shirk to follow what is justly balance?

                                          Where did Allah command us to reject signs not in the Qur'an?

                                          The risk of reading ayat out of its true meaning or context..

                                          Do you covet
                                          that they would believe for you
                                          while a party of them used to hear the words of Allah
                                          and then distort the Torah after they had understood it
                                          while they were knowing?
                                          (275)

                                          Peace brother.

                                          Salam Brother,
                                          leave alone 7750 what about 22. When Allah says this is the Book, Then all the books right from schools to rocket science including hadith belongs to dust bin in front of Allah.

                                          Allah says "Can you bring 10 Chapters like this?. All the men and Jinn put together". I dont remeber the Ayath No.
