Erasing the Accusation of Shirk

010.018 They worship beside Allah that which neither hurteth them nor
profiteth them, and they say: These are our intercessors with Allah. Say:
Would ye inform Allah of (something) that He knoweth not in the heavens or
in the earth ? Praised be He and High Exalted above all that ye associate
(with Him)!
In this verse we learn that the polytheists would worship the deceased pious
as they thought that they would intercede for them. However Allah tells
them in the verse that I have just receited that they will not intercede for
them or profit them in anyway. A further verse informing us that the
polytheists thought that the deceased pious will intercede for them is as
follows. However, again Allah tells them that they are wrong and that which
they worship besides Him have power over nothing as the Qur’an states:
039.043 Or choose they intercessors other than Allah ? Say: What! Even
though they have power over nothing and have no intelligence ?
039.044 Say: Unto Allah belongeth all intercession. His is the Sovereignty of
the heavens and the earth. And afterward unto Him ye will be brought back.
039.045 And when Allah alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who believe
not in the Hereafter are repelled, and when those (whom they worship)
beside Him are mentioned, behold! they are glad.
Qadhi: The verses you presented are surprisingly not for the deceased pious
but in fact for the idols! The attributes of that which was worshipped in these
verses are attributes clearly belonging to idols. As you are aware brother, no
Muslim on this earth worships other than Allah. The attributes of that which
was worshipped, mentioned in the verses are:
they worship besides Allah that which will neither hurteth them nor
profiteth them. The pious can hurt and profit people, as previous
Prophets made du’a do destroy those who were against them and
profited people by calling them to Islam
Would ye inform Allah of (something) that He knoweth not in the
heavens or in the earth ? This tells us that what they worshipped
besides Allah will never be given the power to intercede
have no intelligence. The Pious have intelligence!
And when Allah alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who believe
not in the Hereafter are repelled, and when those (whom they
worship) beside Him are mentioned, behold! they are glad. This verse
