I will stop the thoughts. I admit those thoughts drove me almost to giving up. I will believe more in myself and Allah.

just to reassure my thoughts. Worship is ONLY for Allah. I fear I said anything shirky. I know we only worship Allah. May Allah forgive me. Ameen.

Ameen bro... keep your head up and stay strong, dont let shaytan drag you down to his level

If you fear youv said anything shirky, repeat your shahada untill the feeling goes in sha Allah
 
I know.. I am right.. But I want reassurance lol.

Worshipping anyone or ANYTHING besides Allah, is Shirk. As Worship is the unique right of Allah. Allah's command is to worship none but Him. And He forbade shirk.. It is logical. Allah forbade alcohol, therefore alcohol is haram.

Allah :swt: commanded to pray 5 times, the one who doesn't disobeys Allah. The one who doesn't affirm that worship is only For Allah, inward and outward, doesn't believe in tawheed. Tawheed of Worship is basically doing all acts of worship for Allah alone, and not worshipping anyone or anything besides Allah (Shirk)

So:

A: Tawheed: Worship Allah alone.
B: Shirk is: Worshipping anyone or anything besides Allah.
........ Yeh. Iknow.

yessssssss !!!!!!!

now please slap yourself whenever you doubt that :)
 
:salam:

Yes, I know.. But I always get the thought "Is the Quran's definition of shirk, really "worshipping anyone or anything besides Allah" "

I believe in Tawheed, reject shirk, yet whenever I say I believe in the Quran, the aforementioned^^ thought comes.

I've cried my eyes out.. And had many bad thoughts.

Allahu alam.

Your back here again LOL

Slap yourself twice very hard !

Lets go through the basics of belief to help you and me & anyone else ok. Im writing from my notes.

Emaan - inward belief
Islam - outward belief
Ishan - perfecting both emaan & islam, worshipping Allah as though He is right infront of you and you can see Him. (Higher level)
Worshipping Allah as though you know he is watching you (lower level)

Emaan :-
1. Tasdeeq bil Qalb - knowing it in the heart
2. Iqrar bil lisan - confirming it with the tongue
3. Amal bil jawariah - activity through limbs.

2 types of shirk :-

Shirk e khafi - creating rivals for Allah by following naffs (love for the world, when love comes between you & Allah)

Shirk e jalli - worshipping other deities than Allah, associating partners with Allah,
 
So shirk is worshipping anything or anyone besides Allah.. I know!

I keep doubting though. I know Tawheed is to worship NONE but Allah. Opposite of Tawheed is shirk! so opposite of worshipping none but Allah, is worshipping anyone or ANYTHING besides Allah (definition of shirk) RIGHT?!

The opposite of the word " NONE " is ANYTHING or ANYONE. Right?

Allahu alam.

So I am right! So Allah says to reject shirk (definition: worshipping anyone or anything besides Allah. Attributing rights or attributes unique to Allah, shirk means "to join together". )

Bro, it's like what we were discussing in that other thread. Too much questioning can sometimes lead to more harm than good.

We like to overcomplicate things, and shaytaan likes to take advantage of that until we torture ourselves with questions which lead to more questions and more questions....Islam is simple, you understand it absolutely correct alhamdulillah so just ignore any uncertainities which creep into your mind, as sis muslimah_B said.

This hair-splitting sometimes takes us away from what we should really be focusing on, worshipping Allah swt and making sure we stay on the right path.

As you said Islam is pure monotheism - and it's beauty is in the all-embracing simplicity of its doctrines. :)
 
Ok.. I accidentally said something shirky..

But am I ok?

I believe in Tawheed, worship is for Allah alone, I do not worship anyone or anything besides Allah, as that is shirk, and I reject shirk. Worship is solely for Allah alone. Do I believe in Tawheed of Worship?
YESSSSSS

By Allah, I overthink everything. From math, to english grammar, to everything! :crying: Am I obeying Allah? The Quran says to worship none but Allah, to not worship anyone or anything except Allah!

Allah's unique attributes and rights, are for Him alone, those who attribute anything that is for Allah alone, to anyone or anything, has committed shirk! right?!

So my understanding of shirk is ok. I see.

Whenever I say I believe in the Quran shaytaan pokes my head. No worries, every Muslim I asked, my understanding of shirk turned positive.

So I know I am right, and that the definition of shirk is that of the Quran. For shaytaan always lies. you guys would have corrected me long ago if I was wrong! SO no way am I wrong.

As salamu alaikum,

Well, I made the definition of shirk and Tawheed according to the Quran - my signature.

Please read it, In shaa' Allah it is ok! I got this idea from a friend, so whenever I have doubts, I just read my signature.
 
:salam:

So living in the West.. Is it allowed? Cuz I read a hadith that said the Prophet :saw: will disown any Muslim who settles amongst the disbelievers?

Is it prohibited?

I also read that Qur'an says you can not show affection to the disbelievers, but didn't Prophet :saw: show affection to Ibn Talib, a disbeliever?

I also hate the mindset of "all kaffirs hate us". It simply doesn't fit with me. Does Qur'an encourage such an attitude? Cuz I've met sensible non-muslims. Especially some teachers. And I am pretty sure they didn't hate me for being Muslim.

As for Tawheed:

A Muslim is one who worships Allah alone, only then is one a Muslim.

And Allah :swt: knows best.

I think the prophet is talking about betraying the muslims in battle maybe?
