Erasing the Accusation of Shirk

In this verse the word ‘Lord’ has not been used to describe Allah, but to describe a King. The Arabic word used in this verse for the King is ‘rabb’. This proves that the word ‘rabb’ can be used to describe or discuss other than Allah Almighty. This verse is in fact discussing how, on the one side there was the blessed Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) preaching the words of Allah Most High and on the other side, there were the monks and rabbis who were against Allah and His Messenger, those who “debar (men) from the way of Allah” (009.034). The Christians and Jews were denying Allah and His Messenger and agreed with the monks and rabbis. They were misinterpreting and taking out of context that which was written about Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) in their scriptures. The reason why they did this is explained in the Qur’an. In short, it was done to secure financial benefits: 002.041 And believe in that which I reveal, confirming that which ye possess already (of the Scripture), and be not first to disbelieve therein, and part not with My revelations for a trifling price, and keep your duty unto Me. 002.042 Confound not truth with falsehood, nor knowingly conceal the truth. So we see that we have Allah and His Messenger (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) conveying the message of Allah and then on the other hand there were the monks and priests who were deliberately misguiding their people for money. Allah Most High then tells the Jews and Christians that He is commanding them on one side and the monks and rabbis are commanding on the other and they have denied His word and believed theirs, as if they were gods instead of Him. Furthermore, the Christians and Jews would worship Sayyidina Isa (peace be upon him) and not the monks or rabbis. The verses do not say the Christians and Jews would bow down to the monks or rabbis or sacrifice in their way, simply because they did not worship them. They did however, deny Allah and His Messenger, listening and obeying their monks and rabbis instead: 064 Say: O People of the Scripture! Come to an agreement between us and you: that we shall worship none but Allah, and that we shall ascribe no partner unto Him, and that none of us shall take others for lords beside Allah. And if they turn away, then say: Bear witness that we are they who have surrendered (unto Him). 96
The Arabic word ‘rabb’ has been used in this verse to describe their monks and rabbis which translate to Lords. This explains that they would worship Sayyidina Isa (peace b upon him) and obey their monks and rabbis, further proving that Allah has differentiated between how they worshipped sayyidnia Isa (peace be upon him) and how they denied Allah and obeyed their monks and rabbis. There is a difference between obeying and worshipping which Allah Azawajul has highlighted for us in the verse which I have just recited. Evidence from Hadith Imam Tirmidhi writes that Adi bin Hatim was a Christian who came to Madinah to embrace Islam. When he went to the Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), the blessed Prophet was reciting the following verse: 009.031 They have taken as lords beside Allah their rabbis and their monks and the Messiah son of Mary, when they were bidden to worship only One God. There is no God save Him. Be He Glorified from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him)! When he ( may Allah bless him and grant him peace) had finished his recitation, Adi bin Hatim questioned him by asking, “we don’t worship our Monks and Rabbis,” The noble Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) replied, “Yes this is true that you do not worship them but do you not accept what your monks and rabbis say to be lawful as lawful and what is unlawful as unlawful, this is worship?” 23 All this proves that the way in which the Jews and Christians worshipped their Monks and Rabbis was completely different to the manner in which the polytheists of Makkah worshipped their idols. The Christians and Jews denied Allah’s laws and accepted the laws of their monks and rabbis: this was their worship. Finally I would just like to summarize what has been proven under the verse we have been discussing: The Monks and Rabbis were not dead The Monks and Rabbis were not pious 23 See Tirmidhi Chapter Tafisr, under this verse 97
