Shirk: The Unforgivable Sin in Islam, Warns Cleric in Aligarh

• Maulana Chaudhary Ifrahim Hussain in Aligarh highlights Shirk as the most grievous and unforgivable sin in Islam.
• Shirk involves associating anyone other than Allah with His essence, power, or considering them as owner of benefit/harm, life/death, or sustenance.
• The Quran and Hadith explicitly state that Allah will not forgive the sin of Shirk, calling it 'Zulm-e-Azeem' (greatest injustice).
• Believing that problems can be resolved or tasks accomplished through individuals, Pirs, shrines, or specific places also constitutes Shirk.
• The foundation of Islam is Tawhid, emphasizing that all power and control over the universe, life, death, and sustenance belong solely to Allah.

Why It Matters: Shirk, associating partners with Allah, is Islam's gravest unforgivable sin, emphasizing Tawhid (oneness of God).
