The Condition of the Polytheists in this Life and the Hereafter
In these Ayat, Allah mentions the condition of the polytheists in this life and their destination in the Hereafter.
Allah says;
And of mankind are some who take (for worship) others besides Allah as rivals (to Allah). They love them as they love Allah.
They appointed equals and rivals with Allah, worshipping them along with Allah and loving them, just as they love Allah. However, Allah is the only deity worthy of worship, Who has neither rival nor opponent nor partner.
It is reported in the Sahihayn that Abdullah bin Mas`ud said:
I said, "O Messenger of Allah! What is the greatest sin" He said:
To appoint a rival to Allah while He Alone has created you.
Allah said:
But those who believe, love Allah more (than anything else).
Because these believers love Allah, know His greatness, revere Him, believe in His Oneness, then they do not associate anything or anyone with Him in the worship. Rather, they worship Him Alone, depend on Him and they seek help from Him for each and every need.
Then, Allah warns those who commit Shirk
If only, those who do wrong could see, when they will see the torment, that all power belongs to Allah.
if these people knew what they will face and the terrible punishment they are to suffer because of their disbelief and Shirk (polytheism), then they would shun the deviation that they live by.
and that Allah is severe in punishment.
Allah mentions their false beliefs in their idols, and that those they followed will declare their innocence of them.
Allah Said
