▪️ *Deviation in Human Life*
Allah has created the creatures to worship Him (only), and provided them with provisions to enable them to do that. *[Soorah Az-Zariyat (51): 56-58]*
Tawheed (belief in the Oneness of Allah) is firmly instilled in human nature, while polytheism is accidental and intrusive Allah says: _*"And remain steadfast on the religion of Hanifan (Islamic Monotheism), Allah's Fitrah with which He has created mankind. No change let there be in Khalq-illah (i.e. the religion of Allah), that is the straight religion."*_ [Soorah ar-Rum (30): 30] .

And the Prophet (salallahu alaihe wasallam) said: _*"Every infant is born with Fitra but it is his parents who make him a Jew, or a Christian or a Magian (fire worshiper)."*_ [Saheeh al-Bukharee and Saheeh Muslim]
Hence, the Tawheed or the belief in the Oneness of Allah is man's innate belief. Polytheism and corruption in Aqeedah appeared first among the people of Noah who was the first Messenger of Allah sent as Allah says: _*"We have revealed to you just as We revealed to Nooh and to the Prophets after him."*_ [Soorah an-Nisa (4): 163].

Ibn Abbas said: _"There was a period of 10 centuries between Adam and Noah, during which people were Muslim."_
Extremist in praise and position of Righteous Persons is the Root Cause of Infidelity of Mankind and its deviation from the True Religion: Allah said about the people of Nooh: _*"And they have said: You shall not forsake your gods, nor shall you forsake Wadd, nor Suwaa', nor Yaghooth, nor Ya'ooq, nor Nasr."*_ [Surah Nooh 71:23].

*Ibn Abbas (radiallahuanhu)* relates: _“Indeed these are five names of righteous men from the people of Nooh. When they died Shaytaan whispered to their people to make statues of them and to place these statues in their places of gathering as a reminder of them, so they did this. However, none from amongst them worshipped these statues, until when they died and the purpose of the statues was forgotten. Then (the next generation) began to worship them.”_ [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (11/418) and Saheeh Muslim (18/52)].

*Abu Ja'far (radiallahuanhu)* said: _"Those from the later generation saw what the (previous generation) had done and considered that...to the extent that they took him as an ilah (deity) to be worshiped besides Allah.” He then said: "This was the first idol worshiped other than Allah, and they called this idol Wadd.”_ [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (8/534)].

*Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah)* explained that the differing over the sound Deen to which mankind originally adhered was the reason for sending Prophets. Just as the Arabs were following the Deen of Ibraheem, Whom Allah rendered sage from evil, until Amr bin Lahi al-Khuza'ee brought idols in the Arabian Peninsula and to Hijaz in particular. Idols were worshiped afterwards in lieu of Allah, and Shirk prevailed in the sacred land and the lands adjacent to it.

The distinguished generation of this Ummah adhered to the Prophet's Sunnah during the early stage of Islam. Later on, ignorance prevailed in the latter centuries during which new beliefs and religions emerged.

Shirk appeared and was practiced by many Muslims due to the hard work of the promoters of perversion.

Tombs were erected on graves of pious people for visitation and were taken for idols that they worshiped to the exclusion of Allah. Acts of worship such as supplications, appeals for aid, and offerings were dedicated to them (the engraved). They euphemized Shirk by calling it, 'appeal to pious people' claiming that they only loved them and did not worship them. They forgot that such was the claim of the early pagans, who used to say: _*"We worship them only so they may bring us nearer to Allah in rank."*_ [Soorah al-Ankabut (39): 3].

▪️ *Shirk - Definition, and Types*
*▫️) Definition:*
Shirk is ascribing a partner to Allah in terms of His Rububiyyah and Uloohiyyah (worship). The common type of Shirk is the Shirk in _Uloohiyyah,_ which entails supplicating others along with Allah, or dedicating to them worships such as, offerings, vows, reverence, fear, hope, and devotional love. Shirk is the gravest of all sins according to Allah & His messenger. Shirk is the gravest form of injustice, and Tawheed is the best form of justice.
