Avoid Ten Ways That Nullify Islaam

All the ways and methods that are needed by the Muslim to fulfill this declaration of Tawheed2 are explained in the Qur’an and by the Prophet Muhammad (sallallaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam). Allaah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) and His Messenger (sallallaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam) warned that there are ways that lead to Shirk,3 Kufr4 and rejection of Faith. The Muslim must be very knowledgeable about Tawheed so that he does not indulge in practices and concepts that contradict the essence of Islaam. The most dangerous and widely existing ways that breach Tawheed are:
ONE: Shirk in the worship of Allah: to associate something and/or anyone in the worship of Allaah: “Verily! Allâh forgives not (the sin of) setting up partners (in worship) with Him, but He forgives whom He wills sins other than that, and whoever sets up partners in worship with Allâh, has indeed strayed far away.” (Qur’an 4: 116).
TWO: Setting up intermediaries between a person and Allaah is Kufr (disbelief): “Then set not up rivals unto Allaah (in worship) while you know (that He Alone has the right to be worshiped). (Qur’an 2: 22)
THREE: Believing that the Mushrikeen (those who commit Shirk) are not Kufar or doubting their Kufr or defending and correcting the beliefs of the Kufar, is Kufr. Allaah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) says (what means): “O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliyâ’ (friends, protectors, helpers), they are but Auliyâ’ of each other. And if any amongst you takes them (as Auliyâ’), then surely he is one of them. Verily, Allâh guides not those people who are the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers and unjust).” (Qur’an 5: 51)
