ecause <strong>the</strong> Qur’an was revealed to <strong>the</strong> final Messenger; <strong>the</strong>re is never to be<br />

a Messenger after him who would be able to correct any changes made to <strong>the</strong><br />

Qur’an. Therefore Allah has promised that no changing will ever occur in<br />

<strong>the</strong> Qur’an.<br />

Ano<strong>the</strong>r Example<br />

If previous nations committed shirk, a Prophet or Messenger was sent to<br />

guide <strong>the</strong>m. The reason why we have been given a guarantee for “No shirk<br />

in <strong>the</strong> Muslim Ummah” is because <strong>the</strong>re will be no Prophet to guide us after<br />

<strong>the</strong> final Prophet, Muhammad al-Mustafa (may Allah bless him and grant<br />

him peace). Therefore, if we began to commit shirk we would be mislead<br />

forever. Fortunately for us, <strong>the</strong> beloved Prophet left us with a complete din,<br />

meaning <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> shirk and worship for Allah alone, as Allah Most High<br />

says in <strong>the</strong> Qur’an<br />

005.003 This day are those who disbelieve in despair <strong>of</strong> (ever harming) your<br />

religion; so fear <strong>the</strong>m not, fear Me! This day have I perfected your religion<br />

for you and completed My favour unto you, and have chosen for you as<br />

religion al-Islam. Whoso is forced by hunger, not by will, to sin: (for him)<br />

lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.<br />

In this verse, “those who disbelieve” are Iblis and disbelieving leaders, who<br />

cause people to commit, shirk! Though, Allah is telling us that even <strong>the</strong>y are<br />

in despair <strong>of</strong> ever harming our religion. Our religion is perfect and complete<br />

so we do not need to fear <strong>the</strong>m. Those who say loving <strong>the</strong> beloved<br />

Messenger and <strong>the</strong> pious is shirk are hugely mistaken and <strong>the</strong>y are <strong>the</strong> ones<br />

who are mistaken in understanding <strong>the</strong> Qur’an.<br />

Ali: I presented you with a simple verse, explaining that <strong>the</strong> deceased pious<br />

were worshipped, however you have taken a very long way to simply<br />

explain that <strong>the</strong> deceased pious were not worshipped and that <strong>the</strong> verses<br />

were talking <strong>of</strong> idols. However <strong>the</strong> following verses which I am about to<br />

recite to you are crystal clear in explaining <strong>the</strong> worship <strong>of</strong> Isa (peace be upon<br />

him) Sayyida Maryam and Uzayr, I am sure even a child would be able to<br />

understand <strong>the</strong> following verses:<br />

005.075 The Messiah, son <strong>of</strong> Mary, was no o<strong>the</strong>r than a messenger,<br />

messengers (<strong>the</strong> like <strong>of</strong> whom) had passed away before him. And his mo<strong>the</strong>r<br />
