Minor Shirk

 

A person should not underestimate Shirk (polytheism; associating partners with Allaah in worship) and say: “This is [only] minor Shirk.”

What are examples of Minor Shirk?

For example swearing by other than Allaah. Like swearing by the Prophet, swearing by so-and-so and swearing by the amaanah (trust).

Thawheedh Al Uluhiyah

Thawheedh Al Uluhiyah is to single out Allah in worship, i.e. through the actions of the slave which he performs inorder to get close to Allah in the manner prescribed by the shariah.

Thawheedh Ar Rububiyah necessitates Thawheedh Al Uluhiyah, He who affirms and declares that there is no creator, sustainer, or controller of the universe except Allah – then he is required to proclaim Thawheedh Al Uluhiyah, i.e no one deserves any form of worship except Allah.
