Introduction

All praises is for Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah and upon his family, his Companions and whoever is loyal to him.

Dear student.

Assalamualaikum wa Rahmat Allah wa Barakatuh.

Welcome to the ninth lesson in the series of lessons on Islamic belief which you are required to take this semester. We hope that it will strengthen your faith and increase you with beneficial knowledge.

In this lesson you will be presented with two specious arguments (shubhatayn) about shirk that people who indulge in exaggerated devotion (ghulaat) to the pious make use of (to defend their practices).
