Taaghout (pl. Tawaagheet) دٞؿبطُا<br />

The Sharee'ah definition <strong>of</strong> Taaghout is: “Anyone (or anything)<br />

that is worshipped, obeyed or followed other than Allah”. In<br />

other words, Taaghout is a false deity (god).<br />

If someone worships a person, and that person accepts to be<br />

worshipped then he is Taaghout. Likewise, if a person makes<br />

legislation he too is Taaghout, as only Allah has the right to<br />

legislate.<br />

Taaghout can be a ruler (who does not rule by Islam), police<br />

(who do not enforce Islam), a stone, constitution, animal,<br />

scholar (who does not judge by the Sharee'ah), celebrity etc.<br />

Whoever follows or worships the Taaghout, he will become<br />

one himself.<br />

were gathering a large army to march against the Muslims, led<br />
