worlds.” (1:2)
Allah is not bound to any limitations. He has no physical
attributes. He is beyond any mind can imagine. He alone

5. Associating partners with Allah is called Shirk. (Opposite of
tawhid)
Offering prayers to living or dead i.e. Believing that Allah

Him” (4:48)

man debases himself.

“Shirk is the greatest of all sins”
