Erasing the Accusation of Shirk

unneth unto an appointed term. Such is Allah, your Lord; His is the
Sovereignty; and those unto whom ye pray instead of Him own not so
much as the white spot on a date-stone.
035.014 If ye pray unto them they hear not your prayer, and if they heard
they could not grant it you. On the Day of Resurrection they will disown
association with you. None can inform you like Him Who is Aware.
Qadhi: The verses you have just presented are also talking of idols not
humans! The last verse states:
They own nothing
If you pray to them they cannot hear
On the Day of Resurrection they will disown association with you
The first point is that Muslim’s do not worship any pious person. Second,
the traits of those worshipped are mentioned in the verses that you have
recited. These traits belong to idols not humans. The first feature, that they
do not own anything, must apply to idols as all humans own something or
another, e.g., clothes or property. The second characteristic, that when you
pray to them they cannot hear also applies to idols as idols cannot hear
whereas humans can; and the last mentioned feature, that they will disown
their worshippers, is also for idols as they will reject that their polytheists
worshipped them.
Allah has granted the idols with nothing and his pious servants with power
jus as he has granted the angels with power as stated in the below verses:
032.011 Say: The angel of death, who hath charge concerning you, will
gather you, and afterward unto your Lord ye will be returned.
079.005 And those who govern the event, (ANGELS)
051.004 And those who distribute (blessings) by command, (ANGELS)
These verses inform us that the angels hold power as Allah has given them
control and ability since they are His pious servants.
