EXPLANATION<br />
by Shaikh Salih ibn Fawzan al-Fawzan<br />
So, the mushrikeen, who were called mushrikeen (i.e., disbelievers)<br />
by Allah and were declared to be eternally abiding in Hell, did not<br />
commit <strong>Shirk</strong> in Allah's Lordship. Rather, they committed <strong>Shirk</strong> in<br />
Allah's worship. <strong>The</strong>y did not claim that their lords create and<br />
provide with Allah or they benefit or harm, or run the affairs<br />
alongside Allah but they did take their deities as intercessors as Allah<br />
says about them, “they worship besides Allah things that hurt them<br />
not, nor pr<strong>of</strong>it them, and they say, '<strong>The</strong>se are our intercessors with<br />
Allah.'” [Soorah Yunus (10): 18]<br />
