    📖 Commentary of Surah Ibrahim – Verse 30

    30. And they have set up rivals for Allah [66] to lead others astray from His path. Say, "Enjoy yourselves for a while, for indeed your end is the Fire."

    ✅ [66] The root of polytheism is equating others with Allah

    • This verse highlights that shirk (polytheism) stems from associating rivals or equals with Allah.

    • Even if someone claims to consider a being as Allah's servant, yet attributes to them any divine quality or power, it still constitutes shirk.

    Evidence from Qur'an:
    "When we made you equal with the Lord of the worlds" (Surah Ash-Shu’ara, 26:98)

    • The disbelievers will acknowledge their error on the Day of Judgment—they equated their idols with Allah in divine status or attributes.

    ✅ Polytheism is belief-based, not just action-based

    • If someone does not hold a belief of divine power in another being, mere veneration does not count as shirk.

    • The polytheists believed that their idols had independent authority and control—this is shirk.

    • In contrast, the Muslim belief is that Prophets and saints are only granted powers by Allah, and their help is sought only through Allah's permission—this is Iman (faith).

    ✅ Examples to differentiate shirk from faith-based reverence

    • Respecting the Ganges as sacred = shirk, because it is not commanded or endorsed by Allah.

    • Honoring the water of Zamzam = part of faith, because it is a blessed element acknowledged in Islam.

    • Prostration before an idol = shirk.

    • Prostrating toward the Ka‘bah = obedience to Allah, and thus a sign of faith.

    Key Insight: The intention and belief behind actions define whether something is shirk or faith. Faith is rooted in submitting to Allah’s command, not attributing divinity to anyone.
