Tawheed and Shirk(Monotheism or Polytheism)12
THE MUSLIM UMMAH WILL NOT WORSHIP BESIDES ALLAH!
Imam Muslim writes:Uqba b. ‘Amir reported Allah’s Messenger (saws) as saying: Allah’s Messenger offered prayer over those who had fallen matyrs at Uhud. He then climbed the pulpit as if someone is saying good-bye to the living and the dead, and then said: I shall be there as your predecesor on the Cistern before you, and it is as wide as the distance between Aila and Juhfa (Aila is at the top of the gulf of ‘Aqaba). I am not afraid that you would associate anything with Allah after me, but I am afraid that you may be (allured) by the world and (vie) with one another (in possessing material wealth) and begin killing one another, and you would be destroyed as were destroyed those who had gone before you. ‘Uqba said that that was the last occasion that he saw Allah’s Massenger on the pulpit. (this is one of the daleel for annual urs/annual remembrance of the pious muslims. Prophet (saws) and his companions use to visit shuhada e uhud regularly)
This command is for the entire Muslim Ummah because Prophet Muhammad (saws) said that he will meet them at Al-Haud, however we are aware that Muhammad (saws) will not only meet the companions there but the whole Muslim Ummah!
the blessed Prophet (saws) says that you will be tempted by worldly things and this will cause you to compete with one another, however the Prophet could not possibly have said this to the companions as they had sacrificed everything for Allah and His Rasul. So therefore this hadith is applicable for the whole Muslim Ummah not just the companions!
Imam Muslim writes:Jabir reported: I heard Allah’s Apostle (saws) as saying: Verily, the Iblis has lost all hopes that the worshippers would ever worship (him) in the peninsula of Arabia , but he (is hopeful) that he would sow the seed of dissension amongst them. (muslim)
we learn that even Iblis has no hope of causing the Muslim Ummah to commit shirk. From this we understand that the beloved Prophet himself has said his ummah will not commit shirk and then he who tells the people to commit shirk (Iblis) has no ability to persuade Muslims to do so, especially in the Arabian Peninsula .
we understand that the Muslim Ummah will never commit shirk as a whole. If an ignorant individual commits shirk this is a different matter. The Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jamaa are the majority of the Muslim Ummah. Does this mean that the majority of the Muslim community is committing shirk, even though the blessed Prophet gave the guarantee that his ummah will not commit shirk?
the Quran has been given a perfect guarantee and promise that it will be preserved for eternity. The reason for this is because the Quran was revealed to the final Messenger; there is never to be a Messenger after him who would be able to correct any changes made to the Quran. Therefore Allah has promised that no changing will ever occur in the Quran.
If previous nations committed shirk, a Prophet or Messenger was sent to guide them. The reason why we have been given a guarantee for No shirk in the Muslim Ummah is because there will be no Prophet to guide us after the final Prophet, Muhammad al-Mustafa (saws).
the beloved Prophet left us with a complete din, meaning the end of shirk and worship for Allah alone, (5/3)- This day are those who disbelieve in despair of (ever harming) your religion; so fear them not, fear Me! This day have I perfected your religion for you and completed My favour unto you, and have chosen for you as religion al-Islam. Whoso is forced by hunger, not by will, to sin: (for him) lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
In this verse, those who disbelieve are Iblis and disbelieving leaders, who cause people to commit, shirk! Though, Allah is telling us that even they are in despair of ever harming our religion. Our religion is perfect and complete so we do not need to fear them.
When I want to talk to Allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
