Summary

Dear brother student, after having presented the fundamental points of this lesson we are capable of summarizing them for you in the following points:

• It has been made evident that Major Shirk is of several types and that the vilest form of shirk in regards
  to the Oneness of Divine Lordship is of two types: destructive shirk: like the shirk of Pharoah, and shirk of
  the atheists along with the shirk of those who ascribe partners with Allah.

• Destruction (Shirk) is of three categories: detaching the Creator from His creation, and denying Allah the
  All Glorious from His Holy Perfection and this is shirk in the Divine Names and Attributes, and to deny
  the obliged practices of His servants towards Him in regards to true monotheism.

• The Oneness of Divine Lordship is a matter unique to Allah the All Exalted alone. He has not given it to
  anyone not even to an honoured Angel nor a sent Prophet moreover others. The Creator is fundamentally
  characterised with Divine Lordship while the created is eternally characterised with servitude. For this
  reason Quran along with authentic Sunnah refutes claims that a part of God is found in creation as the
  wayward Shiites and Sufis claim and which happens to be a belief inherited from the Christians.

• It is not permissible to believe in he who sees spiritual unravellings and divine influences or to associate to
  them any forms of worship or to believe he enjoys any part of Divine Lordship as is the belief of the people
  of desire and innovation. It is either a satanic situation or allurement, or miracles to the pious; except that
  all this is not beyond the power of Allah and that He is the One Who allowed such acts to be performed
  on the hands of such people.

Summary

• You have become aware that the preferred opinion held by the majority of scholars is that Tawheed
  precedes shirk. This is supported by many evidences in addition to practical realities. Allah the All Exalted,
  after sending Adam (PBUH) and Eve from Heaven to Earth they both began reproducing increasing the
  Adam's (PBUH) progeny. After his progeny had increased Allah the All Exalted sent to every nation
  a messenger. The first appearance of shirk was in the people of Noah (PBUH), so when they began
  worshipping idols Allah sent Noah (PBUH) to guide and warn them, thus he (PBUH) is the first
  Messenger Allah sent to the inhabitants of Earth.

• The most infamously known personality for his arrogance and obliviousness in his rejection of the Creator is
  none other than Pharaoh who was internally certain of the existence of the Creator. Although shirk exists
  in the world those who completely deny the existence of the Creator are few and rare even the polytheist
  pre-Islamic Arabs with their rampant polytheism and idol worship didn't deny the existence of the Creator.
  They worshipped their idols like 'Hubal' and 'al-Laat' and 'al-Uzzah' and 'Manaat' claiming
  them to by deities that draw them closer to Allah the All Exalted.

Summary

• Those claiming multiplicity of deities and their collective polytheism have not claimed that the world
  has two creators perfectly alike in attributes and actions, and that there must necessarily be a distinctive
  quality of one which distinguished it from the other. With this their claim of another divinity is destroyed
  like the dualist claims of the Magians and the Manicheans claiming two origins: light and darkness,
  along with the Christians and their trinity. With this it has been made clear the defeat of those claiming
  a multiplicity of deities and the falsehood of their envisioning two gods enacting in existence.
  We are left with no option except to return to the truth.
