Did you ever ask the people to worship you and your mother as gods besides Allah?” He will answer, “Glory be to You! How could I ever say what I had no right to say? If I had said such a thing, you would have certainly known it. You know what is ˹hidden˺ within me, but I do not know what is within You. Indeed, You ˹alone˺ are the Knower of all unseen Surah Al Ma’idah { 5:116 }

Indeed, your Lord’s torment is fearsome. Surah Al Isra { 17:57 }

Answer 14

1.

Answer 20

العبرة بالحقائق لا بالأسماء The reality of the matter goes back to the reality of the affair

Answer 21

أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱللَّـٰتَ وَٱلْعُزَّىٰ ١٩ وَمَنَوٰةَ ٱلثَّالِثَةَ ٱلْأُخْرَىٰٓ ٢٠ Now, have you considered ˹the idols of˺ Al Lât and ’Uzza, and the third one, Manât, as well? Surah Al Najm { 53:19-20 }

Answer 22

It refers to a righteous man who used to mix gruel and feed the pilgrims ( after his death, people started to worship him around his tomb- shirk )

Answer 23

It’s an Idol in the form of a tree between Makkah and Taa’f. There were shayateen in it who would speak to the people and the ignorant people used to think they were being spoken by the tree or the building that was built upon it, although it was the shayateen who used to speak to them

Answer 24

Manaat was a big rock which used to be in a place near Jabal Qudayd between Makkah and Madinah.

Answer 25

The Hadith of Abu Waaqid- al- Laythee who said, “we departed with the prophet ‎ﷺ to Hunain and we had recently left kufr. The mushrikeen used to have a tree which they used to devote themselves to and hang their weapons on ( Dhaat Anwaat ). We passed by a tree and said, “ O messenger of Allah ﷺ, Make a Dhaat Anwaat for us as they have a Dhaat Anwaat.” He said ﷺ, “ Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar! By the one in whose Hand is my soul, these are the ways. The like of what you have said is what Bani Israel said to Musa, ٱجْعَل لَّنَآ إِلَـٰهًۭا كَمَا لَهُمْ ءَالِهَةٌۭ ۚ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌۭ تَجْهَلُونَ Make for us a god like their gods.” He replied, “Indeed, you are a people acting ignorantly! Surah Al A’raf { 7:138 }

Answer 26

. That the prophet ‎ﷺ rebuked them, showing that what they said was haram . This Hadith shows the dangers of having ignorance of Tawhid ( but also that they did not know it was haram to say what they said )

Answer 27

The mushrikeen of our time are worse in their shirk than the mushrikeen who came before. This is because those who came before committed shirk during times of ease and made their worship purely for Allah during times of difficulty. However the shirk of the mushrikeen of our time is continuous during times of ease and difficulty

Answer 28

فَإِذَا رَكِبُوا۟ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ دَعَوُا۟ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ فَلَمَّا نَجَّىٰهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّ إِذَا هُمْ يُشْرِكُونَ If they happen to be aboard a ship ˹caught in a storm˺, they cry out to Allah ˹alone˺ in sincere devotion. But as soon as He delivers them ˹safely˺ to shore, they associate ˹others with Him once again˺. Surah Al Ankabut { 29:65 }

Answer 29

The mushrikeen in the past understood the meaning of لا إله إلا الله , and because of this ,they refused to say it ,but the mushrikun of today ( the later mushrikun ), they say لا إله إلا الله and they contradict it which means they don’t understand it

Answer 30

The mushrikun of the past will call upon righteous people such as prophets or they would call upon things that have no intellect ( stones and idols ), but the mushrikun of today, call upon righteous people and also shayateen and disobedient people ( fasiqeen )— those that don’t pray, do evil acts etc

Answer 31

The mushrikun of the past had committed shirk within the Tawhid of Rububiyah but the mushrikun of today commit shirk within the Tawhid and Uluhiyah and Rububiyah

Answer 32

The mushrikun of the past knew what they were upon contradicted what the prophet ‎ﷺ was upon, but the mushrikun of today, believed that their belief is exactly the same as the belief of the prophet ﷺ
