Third Foundation ......................................................................................................38<br />
Allah's Messenger came to a people who differed in their object <strong>of</strong><br />
worship; some worshiped the Angels while others worshiped the<br />
Prophets and pious, also there were those who worshiped stones and<br />
trees and some worshiped the sun and the moon, but the Prophet did<br />
not differentiate between them - rather he considered all <strong>of</strong> them to<br />
be mushrikeen<br />

<strong>The</strong> mushrikeen (those who commit shirk) <strong>of</strong> our time are worse in<br />
<strong>Shirk</strong> than the previous generations because the former generations<br />
committed <strong>Shirk</strong> during times <strong>of</strong> ease but they would become sincere<br />
during difficult times unlike the mushrikeen <strong>of</strong> today, whose <strong>Shirk</strong> is<br />
continuous; at times <strong>of</strong> ease and hardship.
