Polytheism
.الشرك
There are three types of polytheism
, namely major , minor and inconspicuous . The inconspicuous polytheism implies
being inwardly dissatisfied with the inevitable condition that has been
ordained for you by Allah , conscientiously lamenting that had you done or not
done such and such or had you approached such and such , you would have had a
better status . The Noble Prophet Muhammad [ P.P.B.U.H ] said , “ The
inconspicuous polytheism in the Muslim nation is more inconspicuous than the
creeping of a black ant on a black rock in the pitch-darkness of the night .”
It is expiated by saying thrice every day ,
“ O Allah ! I take Your refuge from
that I should ascribe any thing as partner in You worship , being conscious of
that and I beg Your pardon for that sin which I am not aware of “ .
Disbelief .الكفر
Disbelief is basically disbelief in any of the articles of Faith in
Islam . The major disbelief excludes one completely from the fold of Islam .
There are five types of disbelief 1-) Takdhib التكذيب This implies disbelieving in the divine truth
or denying of any of the articles of Faith . 2-) The rejection and arrogance to
submit to Allah’s commandments after conviction of their truth . 3-) Doubting
or lacking of conviction in the six articles of Faith [ Allah , His angels ,
His Books , His Messengers , His Pre-determination , The Unseen [ such as the
Hereafter life ] .4-) Turning away from the truth knowingly or deviating from
the obvious signs which Allah has revealed . 5-) Hypocritical disbelief . The
minor disbelief does not exclude one from the fold of Islam . It is also termed
“ disbelief in Allah’s grace . كفر النعمة This
implies disbelief manifesting itself in ungratefulness for Allah’s Blessings or
Favors .
