Bismillah! Al Hamdulillah!
There were people when they were asked who the earth and the heavens (sky) belong to?
They said, Allah. (Al Qur’an 29:61-63)
You will see Muslims today who say this.
There were people when they were asked “Who created you?”, “Who gives you provisions?”, “Who gives life to the dead?”
They said, Allah. (Al Qur’an 29:61-63)
You will see Muslims today who say this.
They did tawaf around Allah’s house (Saheeh Muslim), they used to do Hajj (Tafseer Ibne Katheer 30:29)
You will see Muslims today also do Tawaf around the same house, do Hajj to the same house.
They were a nation (tribe) called Quraish.
They believed in Allah and worshiped Allah, but they worshiped others, they took OTHER ILAHA beside Allah, therefore, they were called MUSHRIK, they were not called Muslims.
Then, their RABB sent a messenger, Salla Allahu alaihi wa Sallam, from among themselves saying,
“Believing Allah is not enough,
worshiping Allah is not enough,
you have to REJECT OTHER ILAHA to be a Muslim,
you have to REJECT OTHER ILAHA for your belief in Allah to be accepted”
So, the message was summarised in just 4 words “LA ILAHA ILLA ALLAH”
And you will see people today, who believe in Allah, who worship Allah and they call themselves Muslims but they associate their belief, they associate their worship with many OTHER ILAHA in different shapes and forms.
So, what should you call these people, Muslim or MUSHRIK?
May Allah guide them!
