Recall
QS Ibraheem (14:35)
And [mention, O Muhammad], when Abraham said, “My Lord, make this city [Makkah] secure and keep me and my sons away from worshipping idols.
”What I fear most for you is a form of Shirk.” When asked about it, he said, “Ar-Riya (showing off)."
"Whoever dies while ascribing partners to Allah, enters the Hell-fire."
"Whoever meets Allah (on the Day of Judgement) not having associated anyone with Him (in worship), shall enter Paradise; and whoever meets Him having committed Shirk in any way will enter the Hell-fire.”
Notes
-
Nowadays we are normalizing kufr & minor shirk so much
-
He’s speaking to THE COMPANIONS. The best generation of muslims.
-
What is meant by ascribing partners to Allah? To take what is exclusively is for Allah to somebody else.
-
Ex : asking someone to dua on behalf of you.
-
Just as salah is an act of worship, dua is an act of worship.
