Shades Of Shirk

Polytheism (Shirk) is not only a belief but also a socio-economic system as well according to which man becomes sovereign to make laws for the mankind ignoring the revealed guidance. Deism of this kind creates gods of its own choice and religious lords act like real God.
Shirk is an unpardonable sin which means Allah has partners, power-sharers and family members. Anyone can influence and interfere in God’s affairs, or whatever you receive from Allah you give credit to others as well. His loved ones cannot be refused and they can change His mind or make God agree to what they want of Him, constitutes Shirk.
