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 />
