[Falik]

I would like to share with you my understanding of the greatest Sin "Shrik".


Kaf = ك Ra = ر Shiin = ش

"Shark" is a word that is being misunderstood by many Moslems scholars.

Moshrikeen, Ashrak, yshrik, Shirk are some of the words that came from the verb “Shark”.

Shark means "join" or "associate".

Thus, for example, associating the truth when speaking about God attributes or the Judgment Day is Good association, “ Good Shrik”. In other words, when we associate that God is one, we are OK. When we say that God prohibited adultery, we are making a true association (Good Shirk). In other words, we can only associate to God and his religion what are prescribed in the Book (Quran, Bible, Old Testament).
But when associating lies (or adding new things), which is not written in the book, we are committing the greatest sin “The Shrik”

قُلۡ إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ رَبِّىَ ٱلۡفَوَٲحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنۡہَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَٱلۡإِثۡمَ وَٱلۡبَغۡىَ بِغَيۡرِ ٱلۡحَقِّ وَأَن تُشۡرِكُواْ بِٱللَّهِ مَا لَمۡ يُنَزِّلۡ بِهِۦ سُلۡطَـٰنً۬ا وَأَن تَقُولُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ (٣٣)

Say: The things that my Lord hath indeed forbidden are: shameful deeds, whether open or secret; sins and trespasses against truth or reason; associating with Allah, for which he hath given no authority; and saying things about Allah of which ye have no knowledge. (7-33)

God, in the Quran, speaks about the Shrik in many examples, such as:
Saying that Jesus is God.
Making Idols that represent God, and warship it.
Making religious leaders as lords, and follow their commandments that cancel out God’s Commandments.
Write books and relate it to God in order to mislead people from God’s true book.


Please note that Shrik is a sin that people of the Books are famous with.

your comments are appreciated.
