The Life, Teachings and Influence of Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab
avoid it at all costs. Indeed, all of the means that lead to it should be
blocked by individuals, scholars and the Muslim community as a
whole. It is completely irresponsible on the part of any Muslim—
whether he be hailed as a scholar or not—to be lackadaisical or remiss
on this issue or to excuse any form of shirk or any of the means that
lead to shirk. This is not solely the conclusion of ibn Abdul-Wahhaab.
This is what is clear in the Quran. This is what was taught and
implemented by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon
him). And this is the view upheld by the four schools of fiqh.
Allah speaks about shirk throughout the Quran. Of those
numerous verses, only a handful will be presented here. However, this
handful will demonstrate without any doubt that shirk is most hateful
to Allah. In fact, if a person knowingly practices and dies in a state of
shirk, it is the sin that the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful, the
Oft-Forgiving and Ever-Pardoning does not forgive. Allah has said,
