Fourth Principle

Fourth Principle

The mushrikeen (those who commit Shirk) of our time are worse in Shirk than the previous generations,because the former generations committed Shirk during times of ease and they would become sincere during times of hardship. Unlike the mushrikeen of today,whose Shirk is continuous; at times of ease and hardship. The proof for this is in the Saying of Allāh,

And, when they embark on a ship, they invoke Allah making their faith pure for Him only, but when He brings them safely to land, behold, they give a share of their worship to others

- Quran Surah Al Ankabut [29:65]

Allah knows best. May Allāh’s peace and blessings be upon Muhammed,his family and companions

(1) In this principle the author,may Allāh have mercy on him,clarified the critical state of the polytheists of our time,for they are more severe in their polytheism than the former polytheists. This is due to the fact,that the polytheists in our time associate partners with Allāh in times of hardship as well as ease,as for the early polytheists then they would associate partners with him in times of ease and would recognize and call upon, Allāhin His Oneness,in times of hardship.Therefore, if the disbelievers to whom the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) was sent, [performed] less shirk and their disbelief was at a lower level, then what about when it comes to those who continuously associated partners [with Allāh], whether it be in times of ease or hardship; they are even greater disbelievers.
