Here is a short explanation of who and what is/are the idols of todayâs world: As easy as it is to recognize these idols of todayâs world it is also as hard to recognize it because of its disguise. We can come across it hidden even under the umbrella of Islam.Â
A Muslim must have baraa (disassociation) with these idols and not wala (association). In order to refrain from and resist these idols, which are calles taghut, one must know, be familiar with and be able to recognize the taghut and its establishments.Â
The following is a list of the most common establishments, institutions, employees, leaders etc. of the taghut of today:
The UN, United Nations; the largest known establishment of the taghut today
Why is the UN a taghut and how is the UN worshiped?
The UN legislates laws and enforces these laws on their member states. Legislating is the Right of Allah alone. Giving them the ârightâ to legislate is worshiping them.
| âOr do they have partners legislating for them a deen (religion, law) which Allah has not permitted?â(ash-Shura 42/21) |
The UN are not only a taghut because they believe that they have the authority to legislate, but they are also a taghut because of other things.
According to their own charter:
The Purposes of the United Nations are:
Article 1
- To maintain international peace and security
- To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples
- To achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character, and in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion
Article 2
The Organization and its Members, in pursuit of the Purposes stated in Article 1, shall act in accordance with the following Principles.
- The Organization is based on the principle of the sovereign equality of all its Members.
- All Members, in order to ensure to all of them the rights and benefits resulting from membership, shall fulfill in good faith the obligations assumed by them in accordance with the present Charter.
- All Members shall settle their international disputes by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security, and justice, are not endangered.
- All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.
In other words, they are calling for the nullification of fundamental and basic elements in Islam such as that Sovereignity belongs to Allah taâala alone, al Walaa waâl Baraa, Jihad and much more.
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject the UN and their laws, make Takfir on the UN and on every country that is member of the UN and make Takfir on everyone who doesnât make Takfir on the UN and their member states.
All states which take part and are members of the United Nations
Why are these states taghut and how are they worshiped?
Of the worldâs 196 countries, there are currently 193 member countries of the UN. Vatican city and Palestine are assigned the status of permanent observers of UN proceedings. Taiwan is not officially recognized as independent by most UN member countries. Therefore, Taiwan is both non-member and non-country in the eyes of the United Nations. These 3 countries not being members doesnât make them non-taghut, as they still legislate laws opposed to the laws of Allah taâala. And the fact that Palestine is a permanent observer shows that Palestine is -though not a direct member- is still part of the UN and thus pleased with and supports everything the UN stands for and represents.
The General Assembly meets in regular yearly sessions. The assembly is led by a president, elected from among the member states on a rotating regional basis.When the General Assembly decides on important questions such as those on peace and security, admission of new members and budgetary matters, a two-thirds majority of those present and voting is required.All other questions are decided by a majority vote. Each member country has one vote.
Furthermore, each one of the existing countries are ruled by man-made laws or systems opposing the Shariah of Allah. Legislating is the Right of Allah alone. Acknowledging the ârightâ of these countries to legislate is worshiping them. Not to mention that obedience IS worship.
| âOr do they have partners legislating for them a deen (religion, law) which Allah has not permitted?â(Ash-Shura 42/21) |
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject these countries and their laws, make Takfir on them and make Takfir on everyone who doesnât make Takfir on the UN and their member states.
The leaders of these states who make laws
Why are the leaders of these states taghut and how are they worshiped?
Legislating/making laws is the Right of Allah taâala. He has no partner in legislating, like he has no partner in creating, giving life, sending down rain, etc. Giving the leaders of these states the ârightâ to make laws is worshiping them.
| âOr do they have partners legislating for them a deen (religion, law) which Allah has not permitted?â(Ash-Shura 42/21) |
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject these leaders, make Takfir on them and make Takfir on everyone who doesnât make Takfir on them.
It doesnât matter whether these taghut leaders and those who donât make takfir on them pray, fast, recite the Quran, wear hijab, have Islamic names, etc. None of their apparent actions or claims matter if they do not uphold and honor the right of Allah as a legislator just as someone is NOT a Muslim â even if they âlookâ the part â if they donât uphold and honor the right of Allah as the Creator, Sustainer, etc.
All governments who make and assist in making their own laws; parliaments, members of parliaments, ministries etc.
Why are these governments, parliaments and their members taghut and how are they worshiped?
Someone who opposes something that Allah made halal or haram, good or bad or who imposes laws on people that his whims and desires deem appropriate, claiming that he has the right to legislate -which is the Right of Allah alone- made himself equal to Allah and became a taghut. A lawmaker can be a person, a system, a community, a party, a national assembly, a clergyman, as well as a priest or a sheikh.
| âOr do they have partners legislating for them a deen (religion, law) which Allah has not permitted?â(Ash-Shura 42/21) |
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject these governments and every single one who makes laws or assists in making laws, make Takfir on them and make Takfir on everyone who doesnât make Takfir on them. A Muslim canât be part of these governments or parliaments etc. and he or she canât assist in any way in making laws.
Everybody who makes a law or a shariah besides Allah
Why is everyone who makes a law a taghut and how are they worshiped?
Making laws and legislation is the Right of Allah alone.
| âOr do they have partners legislating for them a deen (religion, law) which Allah has not permitted?â(ash-Shura 42/21) |
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject every single one who makes laws beside the laws of Allah, make Takfir on them and make Takfir on everyone who doesnât make Takfir on them.
Every single law besides the law of Allah
Why is every single law a taghut and how is it worshiped?
Any law that goes against the laws of Allah is a taghut.
Allah taâala says:
| Have you not seen those who claim to have believed in what was revealed to you, and what was revealed before you. They wish to refer legislation to Taghut, while they were commanded to reject it. (An Nisa 4/60) |
The taghut mentioned in this ayah are all laws other than the laws of Allah. To judge, obey, and not object to the laws other than the laws of Allah taâala is worshiping them. Because these deeds can be done only and only for the laws of Allah. If someone gives the rights and authority that only can be given to the laws of Allah to the laws made by human beings, he has worshiped these laws and these laws have become the taghut of that person.
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject these laws â every single one of them, he or she has to disrespect these laws and not abide by them, make Takfir on the ones who honor these laws and abide by them and make Takfir on everyone who doesnât make Takfir on them.
The officials of these governments and states
Why are the officials of these states taghut and how are they worshiped?
The officials of these governments and states commit the greatest crime against Allah. Because they make laws without obeying Allahâs command and without His permission and they represent the assemblies where these laws are made. Each one of the members of assemblies that make laws, and especially the officials of these governments and states, sees themselves to have the right and power to legislate and adjudicate. Because this is the Right of Allah alone they equate themselves with Allah and thus are taghut.
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject all officials of government and states, make Takfir on them and make Takfir on everyone who doesnât make Takfir on them.
The teachers of the schools of these governments and states
Why are teachers taghut and how are they worshiped?
The schools in these countries and states are the official institutions to brainwash children and inject them with the religion of these states. Teachers are the means of the systems and governments to pollute and corrupt the minds and brains of children from a young age so that they can be non-thinking subjects and obedient soldiers to the taghut once they grow up.
The role of teachers in todayâs societies is very similar to the role of the rabbis and monks in former jewish and christian societies and with the magicians in the society of Egypt during the time of the Pharaohs.
For example, teachers are at the forefront of spreading the ideologies (secularism, democracy, nationalism, patriotism, humanism, globalism, capitalism, liberalism, pluralism, etc.) of the taghut and injecting them into young kids. Itâs in schools where young children are taught to respect and uphold the taghut laws and/or glorify their nationâs taghut leader.
| They have taken their rabbis (scholars) and their monks as gods beside Allah, and also Masih the son of Maryam. And they were not commanded but to worship only One God. There is no god but He. Exalted is He above whatever they associate with Him. (At Tawbah 9/31) |
| In an explanation of this Ayah, At -Tirmidhi recorded that `Adi bin Hatim said, âO Allahâs Messenger! They did not worship them.â The Prophet, salla-Allahu alaihi wa sallam, said, Yes they did. They (monks and rabbis) allowed the impermissible for them and they prohibited the lawful for them, and they followed them in that. That was their worship of them. |
| He said, âThrow,â and when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people and struck terror into them, and they presented a great feat of magic. (Al Aâraf 7/116) |
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject all teachers, he or she canât send his or her children to these teachers, he or she has to make Takfir on them and make Takfir on everyone who sends their children to them, and make Takfir on everyone who doesnât make Takfir on them.
Democracy
Why is democracy a taghut and how is it worshiped?
According to democracy, worship (or acts of worship) to Allah is limited to masjids, churches, temples, and similar places. But for private or public matters of life, the religion of democracy is in charge. In other words, a person who is a ruler in the religion of democracy has the ârightâ to hold the authority that belongs to Allah. However, according to democracy, Allah does NOT have the authority to make laws.
If someone demands this Right of Allah being given to Allah, he will be accused of using religion as a political tool, or he will be accused of being a fundamentalist or a terrorist.
In the religion of democracy, there is freedom of belief, even if it is against the religion of Allah, even if the religion of Allah is mocked, as long as it does not violate human laws. Whoever wishes commits prostitution, commits adultery, sodomy, etc.
In democracy everyone has the ârightâ to participate in elections and the ârightâ of being elected. This means everyone has the right to actively take part in legislation. To vote means giving your ârightâ to make laws to a representative who does this on your behalf.
| âOr do they have partners legislating for them a deen (religion, law) which Allah has not permitted?â(Ash-Shura 42/21) |
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject democracy and all its layers, he or she canât participate in democratic elections, he or she has to make Takfir on everyone who participates in these elections and make Takfir on everyone who doesnât make Takfir on them.
The political parties of these governments and states
Why are the political parties taghut and how are they worshiped?
The political parties in these systems participate in legislation. Legislation is the Right of Allah alone and belongs to Him alone. In short, they equate themselves with Allah.
| âOr do they have partners legislating for them a deen (religion, law) which Allah has not permitted?â(Ash-Shura 42/21) |
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject all of these political parties and every single one of their members and helpers, make Takfir on them and make Takfir on everyone who doesnât make Takfir on them.
All assistants and officials of these political parties
Why are the members of these parties taghut and how are they worshiped?
The members, officials, and assistants in the political parties in these systems want to participate in legislation. Legislation is the Right of Allah alone.
| âOr do they have partners legislating for them a deen (religion, law) which Allah has not permitted?â(Ash-Shura 42/21) |
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim cannot be member of these political parties but has to reject every single member and helper of these parties, make Takfir on them and make Takfir on everyone who doesnât make Takfir on them.
Those who assist and vote for such political parties
Why are those who vote for and assist such political parties taghut and how are they worshiped?
Voting means choosing the person that represents the people or part of them in the parliament. Voting is a pillar of democracy (in democracy everybody is given the right to legislate) and participation in elections means nothing else but giving your ârightâ of making laws to your representative. In simple terms, voting is choosing oneâs âIlahâ (God) to legislate on their behalf.
| âOr do they have partners legislating for them a deen (religion, law) which Allah has not permitted?â(Ash-Shura 42/21) |
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim cannot participate in these elections, he or she has to reject these elections and make Takfir on every single one who takes part in these elections and make Takfir on everyone who doesnât make Takfir on them.
The lawyers, advocates, etc. who believe, consult, apply and seek the verdict of and judgment from the laws of these governments
Why are lawyers taghut and how are they worshiped?
Although the definition and sometimes the names of lawyers differ a bit in every country, a lawyer, in general, is someone who has been educated in the law (the religion and shariah) of the taghut systems and regimes. They act â with the power of attorney â as adjudicators on behalf of their clients in the taghut courts. They also prepare, interpret and apply the law.
| Have you not seen those who claim to have believed in what was revealed to you, and what was revealed before you? They wish to refer legislation to Taghut, while they were commanded to reject it. (An Nisa 4/60) |
Lawyers are one of the lifelines of taghut systems around the world as they represent, defend and prosecute according to man-made laws. A lawyer is a taghut whether they are based in a country where none of the Shariah of Allah are implemented or whether they are based in a country where the Shariah of Allah is mixed with man-made laws.
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject these lawyers and cannot hire a lawyer. A Muslim must also make Takfir on lawyers and those who hire lawyers and make Takfir on everyone who doesnât make Takfir on them.
The judges who judge on the basis of these laws and everybody who doesnât judge according to what Allah has revealed
Why are these judges a taghut and how are they worshiped?
Allah taâala says (interpretation of the verse):
| Have you not seen those who claim to have believed in what was revealed to you, and what was revealed before you? They wish to refer legislation to Taghut, while they were commanded to reject it. (An Nisa 4/60) |
This ayah was revealed regarding those who wanted to seek judgment from Kaâb ibn al Ashraf, a jewish judge of Jahiliyyah. Therefore everybody with the same title and attribute â namely a judge who doesnât judge according to the laws of Allah taâala â is a taghut, just like Kaâb ibn al Ashraf.
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject these judges and cannot give them the power and right to judge over him or her. He or she has to make Takfir on judges and on those who let themselves be judged by these judges and make Takfir on everyone who doesnât make Takfir on them.
The police and other officers that defend and enforce these laws
Why are the police taghut and how are they worshiped?
The ŃrŃmаrŃ rĐŸlĐ”s of the police аrĐ” ĐŸrdĐ”r mаŃntĐ”nаnŃĐ”, ŃrŃmĐ” ŃĐŸntrĐŸl, and lаw Đ”nfĐŸrŃĐ”mĐ”nt. In other words, they strive to keep the âorderâ of the regime and enforce the worship of the taghut to the people. Therefore they are not only the head of those who call to falsehood, but also the guardians of the system of falsehood and evil.
| So We took him (Firawun, Pharaoh) and his soldiers and cast them into the sea, and he was blameworthy. (Adh Dhariyat 51/40) |
| And establish them in the land and show Pharaoh and [his minister] Haman and their soldiers through them that which they had feared. (Al Qasas 28/6) |
| And he was arrogant, he (Firawun, Pharaoh) and his soldiers, in the land, without right. (Al Qasas 28/39) |
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject the police and cannot work for them or be member of their units or be part of them in any other way. A Muslim has to make Takfir on the police and every single police-officer and make Takfir on everyone who doesnât make Takfir on them.
The military of these governments who fight on the basis of these laws, to defend and protect these governments. And everybody who joins these armies
Why is the army a taghut and how are they worshiped?
The main task of the military is defined as defense of the state and its interests against external threats. Beyond warfare, the military may be employed in additional sanctioned and non-sanctioned functions within the state, including internal security threats, population control, the promotion of a political agenda, emergency services and reconstruction, protecting corporate economic interests, social ceremonies and national honor guards.
Therefore they are not only the head of those who call to falsehood, but also the protectors of the system of falsehood and evil.
| So We took him (Firawun, Pharaoh) and his soldiers and cast them into the sea, and he was blameworthy. (Adh Dhariyat 51/40) |
| And establish them in the land and show Pharaoh and [his minister] Haman and their soldiers through them that which they had feared. (Al Qasas 28/6) |
| And he was arrogant, he (Firawun, Pharaoh) and his soldiers, in the land, without right. (Al Qasas 28/39) |
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject the army and cannot work for them or be member of their units or be part of them in any other way. A Muslim has to make Takfir on the army and every single soldier and make Takfir on everyone who doesnât make Takfir on them.
The religious leaders who support and justify these laws
Why are the religious leaders taghut and how are they worshiped?
The religious figures and leaders, especially those in the countries that were Land of Islam in the past are amongst the most evil taghut. They give their regimes the appearance of Islam and mislead the people â who willingly follow them without questioning or doubting. In particular, the taghut regimes in the Arab world are only able to survive due to the help of these deviant religious figures and scholars.
| They have taken their rabbis (scholars) and their monks as gods beside Allah, and also Masih the son of Maryam. And they were not commanded but to worship only One God. There is no god but He. Exalted is He above whatever they associate with Him. (At Tawbah 9/31) |
| In explanation of this Ayah, At -Tirmidhi recorded that `Adi bin Hatim said, âO Allahâs Messenger! They did not worship them.â The Prophet, salla-Allahu alahi wa sallam, said, Yes they did. They (monks and rabbis) allowed the impermissible for them and they prohibited the lawful for them, and they followed them in that. That was their worship of them. |
This previous verse and hadith show that it doesnât matter what the title or appearance of an individual is. If they are followed and obeyed (in things Allah has not legislated) then they are taghut and those who follow and obey them have taken them as gods besides Allah.
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject these religious figures and so-called scholars. He or she has to make Takfir on them and make Takfir on everyone who doesnât make Takfir on them.
The wealthy âeliteâ who support, help, maintain, and contribute to these systems, governments (and non-government) and all of its departments, branches, institutions, establishments etc.
Why are they a taghut and how are they worshiped?
The wealthy so-called elite are the financial backbone of these systems. They contribute to whatever and whoever they want to have in power â as their puppets. They use their wealth to promote and support falsehood. They have the monopoly to print money and thus are able not only to increase or decrease the value of money just as they want, but also to control, manage and manipulate whole economies, governments and countries.
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject the so-called elite. He or she has to make Takfir on them and make Takfir on everyone who doesnât make Takfir on them.
The propagators of these governments; who call upon the nation to support, obey, assist, have sympathy, care forâŠ
Why are they taghut and how are they worshiped?
Everybody who calls to an idoelogy, system or religion other than Islam is a taghut. Following their calls is worshiping them as theyâre calling to what Allah has not legislated. This is like the way the Christians and Jews have taken their monks and Rabbis as Lords besides Allah by obeying them. Or like someone who obeys mushrikun by eating meat that didnât have Allahâs Name mentioned.
| Eat not (O believers) of that meat which Allahâs Name has not been mentioned for it is certainly fisq (a sin and disobedience to Allah). And certainly, the devils inspire their friends to dispute with you. And if you obey them, then you will be, indeed, mushrikoon. Al Anâam: 6: 121 |
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject these propagators. He or she has to make Takfir on them and make Takfir on everyone who doesnât make Takfir on them.
Everyone who supports, obeys, assists, cares for, and has sympathy etc⊠for these governments regardless of whom or what they are
Why are they tawagheet (plural of taghut) and how are they worshiped?
Assisting, supporting and caring for these systems and governments is helping the call to misguidance and falsehood. Everybody who calls to falsehood or helps in calling to falsehood is a taghut.
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject those who supports and assist these systems and governments. He or she has to make Takfir on them and make Takfir on everyone who doesnât make Takfir on them.
Those who make allegiance with the taghut against the Muslims
Why are those who make allegiance with the taghut against the Muslims taghut and how are they worshiped?
Those who make allegiance with the taghut against Muslims are the ones who are trying to extinguish Islam. By joining the war against Islam they are not only helping those who fight Islam, but they are taking an active role and leadership in calling towards the filthy ideologies that are opposing Islam.
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject those who make allegiance with the taghut against Muslims, make Takfir on them and make Takfir on everyone who doesnât make Takfir on them.
Those who do not takfir, who take as awliya (and not have enmity to towards these people) who show compassion, have sympathy, support, assist, aid, obey, follow etc. to these governments and all of their institutions
Why are they tawagheet and how are they worshiped?
Not making takfir on those who support and assist these systems is giving these people and the systems they love and support validity and recognition. We already have said that taghut is everything that causes the person to exceed the limits with regards to that which is worshiped, followed, or obeyed. And taghut is everything that misguides from the truth.
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject those who do not make takfir on those who support and assist these systems, and make takfir on everyone who doesnât make takfir on them.
Whims and desires
Why are whims and desires a taghut and how are they worshiped?
A person can take their whims and desires as gods besides Allah.
Allah taâala says:
| Whereas for the one who feared to stand before his Lord, and restrained himself from the (evil) desire. (An Naziâat 79/40) |
This means that he protected himself from following the lusts that his soul desires. In the Qurâan Allah taâala has mentioned whims and desires in a disparaging way.
Whims and desires become a taghut that are worshiped besides Allah when someone obeys them instead of obeying Allah.
Letâs not confuse taking whims and desires as a god with sinning. A person can sin without leaving the fold of Islam. But whatâs meant by obeying their whims and desires is that their whims and desires dictate to them and are their measure of distinction between right and wrong. In other words, their whims and desires are the ruling source over things instead of the Words of Allah and His Shariâah.
As a result, the one who obeys his/her whims and desires has taken them as a god besides Allah, which in turn makes the whims and desires a taghut.
Likewise, when someoneâs walaa (loves, befriends, supports, and protects others) is because of their whims and desires or their baraa (hates, disassociates from, and shows enmity to others) is because of their whims and desires â even if this contradicts the Shariâah of Allah â then he/she has taken his whims and desires as a god beside Allah.
Allah taâala says (interpretation of the meaning):
| Have you seen the one who takes as his god his own desire? (Al Furqan 25/43) |
| And keep yourself patient by being with those who call upon their Lord in the morning and the evening, seeking His countenance. And let not your eyes pass beyond them, desiring adornments of the worldly life, and do not obey one whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance and who follows his desire and whose affair is ever in neglect. (Al Kahf 18/28) |
| So, have you seen him who has taken his desires as his god? (al Jathiyya 45/23) |
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to restrain himself from his evil whims and desires, he or she has to make takfir on those who follow their desires and on everyone who doesnât make takfir on them.
The one or something that isnât loved for the sake of Allah, but for his own sake
Why is the one or something that is loved for his own sake a taghut and how is he worshiped?
Loving someone not for Allahâs sake, but for their own sake, and making friendship and enmity for them, is worshiping them. Because this gives a feature and attribute that belongs only to Allah to a person. The person who consented to be given this title and feature is a taghut.
This can be a single person like a ruler, a sheikh, a party leader, a celebrity (actor, singer, sports people), a woman, or a group of people like a nation, a tribe etc.
| There are people who set up equals and rivals with Allah and love them with the love due to Allah. But those who believe are stronger in their love for Allah. (Al Baqarah 2/165) |
It also can be material things and similar things.
| Abu Huraira, (radhiya-Allahu anhu), reported,that the Messenger of Allah, (salla-Allahu alayhi wa sallam), said:âPerish the slave of Dinar, Dirham (silver and gold, e.g. money), Qatifa (thick soft cloth), and Khamisa (a garment), for if he is given, he is pleased; otherwise he is displeased.â (Bukhari 6435) |
In this hadith the Messenger of Allah, (sallAllahu âalaihi wa sallam), uses the word slave/worshipper of dirham because most of the people connect their lives to this and maintain their relations with other people for this purpose.
Such people only think about how to make a profit, how to increase their wealth, and how to make connections (network) with the ârightâ people thatâll help them reach their goal/s.
For this reason, in places where they have financial gain, they speak well, show a smiling face and accept to be humiliated. In places where they do not earn financially, they become sullen, disobedient, arrogant and rebellious.
This hadith also shows that ibadah isnât limited to acts like prostrating, fasting, pilgrimage etc, as most people believe.
| The Messenger of Allah, (Peace and blessings be upon him), said:âWhoever uses all his strength to increase his wealth, should know that this is for taghut.â (Bazzar, Tabarani â al Awsat) |
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject those who are loved for their own sake and deny them the ârightâ to be loved for their own sake. He or she has to make takfir on those who love someone or something for their own sake, and make takfir on everyone who doesnât make takfir on them.
The one who isnât obeyed for the sake of Allah, but for his sake
Why is the one who is obeyed for his own sake a taghut and how is he worshiped?
The one who is obeyed not for the sake of Allah, but for their own sake is a taghut. This is because this person is obeyed in truth or falsehood and his/her order is not objected to or rejected.
For, a person who is obeyed in truth or falsehood, and whose orders are not objected to has become a taghut that is worshiped beside Allah.
For example, drinking alcohol is prohibited in Islam. But if a person orders someone not to drink alcohol and is obeyed for their own sake, then the one whoâs obeyed is a taghut. This is because the person didnât stop drinking alcohol for the sake of Allah (following the command of Allah) but for the sake of the one who ordered him/her.
A person who is obeyed not for the sake of Allah but for their own sake may be a ruler, a party leader, a tribal chief, a sheikh or others.
| O you who believe, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. And, if you disagree about something, refer it back to Allah and the Messenger, if you believe in Allah and the Last Day. (An Nisa 4/59) |
| So do not obey the kafirin (disbelievers), and strive against them with it a great striving. (Al-Furqan 25/52) |
| And do not obey any contemptible one who swears much. (Al Qalam 68/10) |
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject those who are obeyed for their own sake and deny them the ârightâ to be obeyed for their own sake. He or she has to make takfir on those who obey someone for their own sake, and make takfir on everyone who doesnât make takfir on them.
Homeland and nationalism
Why is homeland and nationalism a taghut and how are they worshiped?
Homeland and nationalism is a taghut that is worshiped besides Allah because love and enmity are for the country and the nation.
All kinds of ârightsâ and laws are provided and friendship is shown to those living within the borders of the homeland, regardless of whether they are the biggest kuffar and most evil people or not. But those living outside the borders of the homeland are not shown the same friendship and the same ârights and lawsâ, even if they are the most pious people. Therefore homeland and nationalism is a taghut that is worshiped other than Allah.
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject homeland and nationalism. He or she has to make takfir on people who lead their lives according to homeland and nationalism and make takfir on everyone who doesnât make takfir on them.
Tribalism
Why is tribalism a taghut and how is it worshiped?
Tribalism is a taghut that is worshiped other than Allah because love and enmity are for the tribe. Friendship is shown to those from the same tribe, regardless of whether they are the biggest disbelievers or immoral. But those from other tribes are not shown the same friendship, even if they are the most pious people. Therefore tribalism is a taghut that is worshiped other than Allah.
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject tribalism, he or she has to make takfir on people who lead their lives according to tribalism and make takfir on everyone who doesnât make takfir on them.
Humanism
Why is humanism a taghut and how is humanism worshiped?
Humanism is a taghut that is worshiped beside Allah because friendship and enmity, war and peace are made because of this belief and idea. The idea of ââhumanism offers people that regardless of their religion and beliefs, all people are equal in terms of rights and law. According to this ideology; the most pious person and the most wicked person are equal. Because they are human, there is no difference between them.
Those who adhere to the idea of humanism do everything in their power to defend this idea. If they do something, they say that they did it for humanity. If one of them has made financial aid; he says âI have done financial aid for humanityâ. If he took part in a war; he says: âI fought for humanity.â Thus, they say that they do everything for humanity. Thus, humanity becomes a taghut that is worshiped besides Allah.
Many people, even if they donât ascribe themselves to this ideology or donât label themselves as âhumanistâ, believe in it by having convictions such as all humans are equal, men and women are equal, etc.
According to Humanists International, âHumanism is a democratic and ethical lifestance which affirms that human beings have the right and responsibility to give meaning and shape to their own lives. It stands for the building of a more humane society through an ethics based on human and other natural values in a spirit of reason and free inquiry through human capabilities. It is not theistic, and it does not accept supernatural views of reality.â
Therefore humanism is a taghut and whoever believes in such an ideology, supports it or is pleased with it is a kafir.
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject humanism. He or she has to make takfir on people who lead their lives (fully or partially) according to humanism or support this ideology in any way, shape or form, and make takfir on everyone who doesnât make takfir on them.
Community, public, populace
Why are a community, populace and public a taghut and how are they worshiped?
If the people are seen as the source of the rule and given the authority to give orders, to choose the ruler of the country and the law to be applied in the state, even if they do not choose a law that is contrary to the laws of Allah, they are a taghut who is worshiped other than Allah taâala. The same applies if the populace and their customs are seen as the norm and scale, which (truth and falsehood and right and wrong are measured) people have to follow and integrate.
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject and oppose the populace. He or she has to make takfir on people who lead their lives according to the populace and make takfir on everyone who doesnât make takfir on them.
In some cases the majority
Why is the majority (in some cases) a taghut and how is the majority worshiped?
According to the principle of majority rule, which is one of the foundations of the religion of democracy, which most of the people in our time adhere to; the majorityâs ruling is an absolute rule, regardless of whether it is right or not, this rule must be obeyed, consented to and acted upon.
According to those who adhere to the religion of democracy, the decision chosen by the majority of the people has to be adhered to and implemented, even though it is contrary to the decree of Allah and His Messenger, salla-Allahu alayhi wa sallam. This is how the majority is worshiped.
In addition, accepting that the rule of the majority is the supreme judgment and that it is not permissible for anyone to reject, object to or give consent to this rule is also worshiping it. Because judgment belongs only to Allah alone. Only His judgment cannot be challenged.
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject and oppose the majority. He or she has to make takfir on people who follow the majority and lead their lives according to the majority and make takfir on everyone who doesnât make takfir on them.
The Hague injustice court
Why is the Hague court a taghut and how is it worshiped?
The so-called International Court of Justice, which has its seat in The Hague, in the Netherlands is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations. The court, which is composed of 15 judges, settles, in accordance with international law, legal disputes between states submitted to it by them.
Judgments delivered by the court (or by one of its chambers) in disputes between states are binding upon the parties concerned. Article 94 of the United Nations Charter provides that âeach member of the United Nations undertakes to comply with the decision of [the court] in any case to which it is a partyâ.
In this court, the laws of Allah, the Almighty, are never respected or valued in the matters to be judged. For this reason, this court is the taghut. Whoever applies to this court to be judged, has applied to the taghut and has worshiped taghut.
All the states that are members of the United Nations have submitted to this taghut and accepted that they will appoint this court as an arbitrator in the conflicts between them.
| âHave you not seen those who claim to have faith in that which has been revealed to you, and that which was revealed before you, and they wish to go for judgment (in their disputes) to the Taghut, when they have been ordered to reject them? But the Devil wishes to lead them far astray.â (An Nisa 4/60) |
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject the injustice court of The Hague. He or she has to make takfir on those who give this court the right to judge, make takfir on everyone who seeks judgment from this court and make takfir on everyone who doesnât make takfir on them.
Worshiped things like idols, the cross, stones, eyes, cows, graves, shrines, pictures, animals etc.
Why are these things taghut?
If these and similar things are worshiped beside Allah, they become taghut. It can be said that these things mentioned are very simple and that it is pointless to talk about them. And that in the age of science and technology nobody actually worships them.
But the reality is that two-thirds of the people on earth worship these âsimpleâ things. Look at China, Japan and most Asian countries with their huge populations. Look at some people in America, Africa and Europe! You will see that most of the people living there are pagans and worship idols and images.
When you look at the Indian continent, for example, you will see that most of the people there worship cows, idols and tombs.
Look at Crusader Europe! Churches and places of worship are full of idols, crosses and pictures that are worshiped other than Allah. Arenât their churches full of statues and pictures of the so-called saints and priests?
Also, when you look at the countries that once were the Land of Islam, you will see that tombs, graves and shrines worshiped there. It is possible to come across a tomb that is worshiped in every one of these countries, and journeys are made just to visit these places. And the taghut at the head of these states protect these tombs and encourage visits to them.
Again, it is possible to see the idols, statues and pictures symbolizing the rulers and chiefs of every state everywhere. The idols of these taghut in different sizes and shapes are placed at the entrances of the cities, at the crossroads, in schools and in large establishments.
If you go to many so-called Muslim countries, youâll see photos of their tawagheet leaders in small shops and big businesses. Saudi, Morocco, Emirates, Qatar, and Syria are just a few examples where the image of their taghut leader is proudly displayed. In fact, if a shop owner doesnât display an image of their taghut leader, their loyalty may be questioned. In some countries like Turkey, itâs (by law) an offense to not display an image of their taghut leader.
On certain days or just as they desire, people stand in front of their taghut leaders and perform the worship of standing upright to these beings to show respect. Each of these is a taghut that is worshiped besides Allah.
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject these things that are worshiped have the right to be worshipped. He or she has to make takfir on people who worship these things and make takfir on everyone who doesnât make takfir on them.
Flags
Why are flags a taghut and how are they worshiped?
Flags are another taghut that are worshiped other than Allah, because acts of worship like honoring it, staying in front of it and other similar deeds which only can be done to and for Allah taâala are done for it. In some countries the love and respect for the flag has taken such a degree that a person is not even allowed to scratch his head or do a movement while the flag is being presented.
People honor their flag, its colors and symbols and proudly want to be associated with the flag of their nation. They make the flag their identity and celebrate it. On national days across the world, people â whether itâs in Saudi or the U.S. â proudly display their flag and its colors. They paint their faces the colors of their flag, wear clothes that have the same colors, bake or make foods of the colors, and carry the flag or display it on their windows, balconies, cars, and/or businesses.
All these acts and displays are a sign of the glorification of these flags â when glorification is for Allah alone.
| O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you nations and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most notable of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Aware. (Al Hujarat 49/13) |
But itâs not only national flags that are a taghut. Sports teams flags are also tawagheet that people worship. The fans proudly carry, display (at their home, social media profiles, car, etc.) the flag of the team they support. Like the national flag, they also wear the colors of their teamâs flag even if they donât carry the flag.
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to disrespect and hate flags, and reject the worship of flags. He or she has to make takfir on people who worship flags by honoring them, loving them in any other form and make takfir on everyone who doesnât make takfir on them.
National anthems
Why are national anthems a taghut and how are they worshiped?
Similar to flags are national anthems; they are worshiped besides Allah, because acts of worship like honoring it, staying in front of it and other similar deeds which only can be done to and for Allah taâala are done for it. In most countries the love and respect for the national anthem has taken such a degree that a person is not allowed to scratch his head or do movements while the national anthem is played.
In some countries, the national anthem is played before the school day starts or some kind of a ceremony is done in honor of it. As a form of ibadah, students and teachers have to stand a certain way and have âkhushooâ for this anthem and what it represents.
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?

Atheism
Why is atheism a taghut and how is it worshiped?
Many might ask, how can an ideology that doesnât even believe in the existence of God be worshiped? Atheism is a taghut because itâs an ideology that believes and promotes the idea that everything in this world came about by coincidence â that there is no Creator. Allah is the Creator, the Sustainer, the One Who sends down rain, the One Who makes the sun shine, the One Who gives and takes life, and the One who lets the crops grow from seeds.
Believing in these Attributes is a crucial part of Tawheed Ar Rububiyyah. Ascribing any of them to someone other than Allah (like the clouds make it rain etc) is associating a partner with Allah.
According to atheism all these attributes and many more donât belong to Allah taâala, but belong to whoever and whatever they ascribe it to. They teach this ideology in schools through the theory of evolution and living a godless life through the pursuit of desires, materialism, careers, and other empty things.
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject atheism. He or she has to make takfir on atheists and their ideologies, and make takfir on everyone who doesnât make takfir on them.
Media
Why is media a taghut and how is it worshiped?
A lot of people take whatever they hear and see in the media as the truth; as if it was ârevelationâ. They donât question or even doubt the narrative the media presents them. They lead their lives according to what they hear, see (and sometimes read) in the media. They accept as right what the media presents them as right and they accept as wrong what the media presents them as wrong.
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject media. He or she canât take whatever is presented in the media as truth. He or she has to make takfir on people who lead their lives according to what they hear and see in the media and make takfir on everyone who doesnât make takfir on them.
The fashion industry
Why is fashion a taghut and how is it worshiped?
The fashion industry is an evil, immoral and corrupt industry that not only promotes nakedness but has made materialism and itself, an object of worship.
This taghut tells people how they have to dress, what they have to wear at any given time (i.e. season) and how their outfits should be. People follow these trends despite the fact that this industry contradicts the clear rules for dress code according to the Shariah.
Itâs important to note here that even if someone doesnât follow fashion trends in their clothing, they can still follow and obey this industryâs general guidelines when it comes to accessories or in glorifying brands.
Itâs important to note here that there are some people who donât follow fashion trends in their clothing. However, they still follow and obey this industry when it comes to its trends in accessories such as handbags or sunglasses. They glorify particular brands and buy items because theyâre from x or y. Those people, even if they canât afford these brands, will try to buy the smallest item even if itâs a pen or a keychain!
Loving something for its own sake, being proud of owning it and wanting to be seen with it are all forms of glorifying these items or brands.
In short, anyone who follows â one way or another â the trends set by this taghut industry has taken the fashion industry as a god as obedience is worship.
Even though itâs not directly linked to the fashion industry, the same goes for those who worship car models, electrical devices, houses they live in for show, etc.
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject the fashion industry. He or she canât dress according to fashion trends as a Muslim follows the commands of Allah in everything including dress code. A Muslim has to make takfir on people who lead their lives according to fashion trends and make takfir on everyone who doesnât make takfir on them.
Celebrities and so-called stars
Why are celebrities a taghut and how are they worshiped?
Celebrities are among the biggest taghut in our time. People bow in front of them, they prostrate to them, they follow their âadviceâ â which in reality are but whispers from shaytaan â and they obey them. Among these celebrities are movie âstarsâ, singers, actors, sport-people and others.
Celebrities are idolized and loved for their own sake. A person may faint if they see their favorite celebrity or closely monitor their lives to follow in their example. To the point that some people copy their favorite celebrity even in diet, dress, and lifestyle. They may even go to other extremes and change their appearance to resemble that celebrity such as dying their hair color, cutting it to match their favorite celebrity, etc.
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject celebreties and make takfir on these modern day idols. He or she has to make takfir on these celebrities who are not only worshiped but who are pleased with being worshiped. A Muslim has to make takfir on people who worship celebrities and make takfir on everyone who doesnât make takfir on them.
Traditions
Why are traditions a taghut and how are they worshiped?
Most people on earth follow the customs and traditions of their forefathers, especially in matters of faith. It is rare that people change the faith on which they were raised. Most people make sure that their children follow their religion or philosophy.
| When they are told, âFollow what Allah has revealed,â they say, âWe follow only what we found our parents doing.â What if their parents did not understand, and were not guided? (Al Baqarah 2/170) |
| When they are told, âCome to what Allah has revealed, and to the messenger,â they say, âWhat we found our parents doing is sufficient for us.â What if their parents knew nothing, and were not guided? (al Maidah 5/104) |
A Muslim, on the other hand, only follows Qurâan and Sunnah, and not the traditions of his or her people â even if some of these customs or traditions are not prohibited in Islam.
Tragically, the majority of people who call themselves Muslim today are devoted to the ways of their forefathers and âworshipâ the way their Yemeni, Pakistani, Saudi, Turkish, Somali, Moroccan,etc, parents âworship.â
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject customs and traditions. He or she has to make takfir on those who follow customs and traditions and he or she has to make takfir on everyone who doesnât make takfir on them.
Science
Why is science a taghut and how is it worshiped?
Science can be defined as the pursuit of knowledge and understanding of the natural and social world following a systematic methodology based on evidence. It is a system of acquiring knowledge based on studies, experiments, etc. This definition is valid for both, Islam as well as science. Science and Islam are linked because Islam not only places a high premium on science but positively encourages the pursuit of it.
However, if people take everything that science and scientists come up with as revelation â and thatâs exactly what they do â science becomes a taghut which is worshiped beside Allah taâala. If truth and falsehood is measured according to science â and thatâs exactly whatâs done today â science becomes a taghut which is worshipped instead of Allah.
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject science whenever it opposes Qurâan and Sunnah. He or she canât believe in science without confirming that it conforms with the Qurâan and Sunnah. He or she has to make takfir on people who take science as a guide and the ultimate truth, and make takfir on everyone who doesnât make takfir on them.
LBG-Nonsense
Why is this letter mixture nonsense a taghut and how is it worshiped?
This filthy, disgusting ideology has spread everywhere in the last couple of years. This dirty ideology is a leading taghut because without any doubt it calls to falsehood and idolizes perversion.
It completely perverts the creation of Allah and normalizes whatâs unnatural and abhorrent to Allah. Everything it stands for is filth and its purpose is not only to program people to believe Allah makes mistakes in His creation, but that human beings can be gods themselves by choosing their gender and who/what they can love or be with.
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject and oppose this filthy and trashy ideology. He or she has to make takfir on people who follow this ideology, propagate it or are indifferent to it. A Muslim has to make takfir on everyone who doesnât make takfir on them.
Wizards, sorcerers, magicians
Why are Wizards, sorcerers, magicians taghut and how are they worshiped?
Many people worship magicians, due to their belief that magicians and wizards have the power to harm or benefit. They fear them and hope from these magicians they way a Muslim fears and hopes from Allah.
| âThey followed what the devils used to recite in the reign of SulaimÄn (Solomon); and it was not SulaimÄn who became an infidel, but the devils did become infidels, teaching people magic, and what had been sent down to the two angels, HÄrĆ«t and MÄrĆ«t, in Babylon. And these two did not teach anyone without first having said (to him), âWe are but a trial, so do not go infidel.â Then, they used to learn from them that with which they could cause separation between a man and his wife. But they were not to bring harm through it to anyone without the will of Allah.They used to learn what harmed them and did no good to them; and they certainly knew that he who buys it has no share in the Hereafter. And, indeed, vile is the thing for which they sold themselves away. If only they knew! (Al Baqarah 2/102) |
Another important thing to note is that magic can only be done by committing kufr and shirk. This is because doing this deed is done with the help of the Kuffar among the jinn and by glorifying them. A magician is someone who claims to be able to influence things and do wonderful things. Magicians ridicule the word of Allah when they use their magic to please the shayateen.
While performing magic, magicians write the letters of Allahâs word backwards with blood or other impurities. Or they write the texts or say the words that the shayateen are pleased with. The shayateen help them by responding to what is written and said.
So a person canât perform magic or be a magician and still be a Muslim.
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject wizards, magicians and magic. He or she canât believe that wizards or magicians have the power to cause harm or benefit. A Muslim has to make takfir on magicians and people who believe that magicians can cause harm or benefit, and has to make takfir on everyone who doesnât make takfir on them.
Oracles, soothsayers and others who claim to have knowledge of the Unseen (horoscopes fall into this category too)
Why are oracles and those who claim to know the unseen taghut and how are they worshiped?
Allah alone has knowledge of the unseen. Believing that anybody else knows the unseen or the future is worshiping him or her.
| âHe alone is the All-Knower of the Unseen, and He does not disclose His Unseen matters to anyone. Except to a Messenger whom He has chosen, and then He makes a band of watching guards (angels) to march before him and behind him.â (Jinn 72/26-27) |
| âAnd with Him lie the keys to the Unseen, no one knows them but He. And He knows whatever there is in the land and in the sea; not a leaf falls except that He knows about it. There is not a grain in the darkness of the earth, nor anything fresh or dry, but that it is written in a Clear Record.â (Al Anâam 6/59) |
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?

The jewish clerics (rabbis)

| They have taken their rabbis (scholars) and their monks as gods beside Allah, and also Masih the son of Maryam. And they were not commanded but to worship only One God. There is no god but He. Exalted is He above whatever they associate with Him. (at Tawbah 9/31) |
| In explanation of this Ayah, At -Tirmidhi recorded that `Adi bin Hatim said, âO Allahâs Messenger! They did not worship them.â The Prophet, salla-Allahu alahi wa sallam, said, Yes they did.

The NWO new world dis-order
Why is the NWO a taghut and how are they worshiped?
For centuries the so-called leaders and so-called elite have wanted to implement a secular, Godless society where they and their lord, shaytaan, are worshiped. They call this diabolical project ânew world orderâ. One of their goals is to enslave mankind under a one world government / dictatorship.
Before the physical enslavement, this minority group of human devils have succeeded in brainwashing the majority of the world. They have programmed people to see evil as good, wrong as right, dark as light, and perversion as righteous. They have achieved this through their use of the entertainment industry, the media, education system, sports, food, fashion industry, celebrities, and more â which they control.

They are determined to safeguard the freedom, common heritage and civilisation of their peoples, founded on the principles of democracy, individual liberty and the rule of law.â

The medical mafia (the pharmacy industry)
Why is the pharma industry a taghut and how is it worshiped?
People are tested by various tests in the temporary world, and according to their reactions to these tests, they receive their reward in the Hereafter. Diseases and illnesses are one of these tests. It is Allah taâala Who sends down diseases and it is He Who also sends down the cure to each one of these diseases.
| The Messenger of Allah, salla-Allahu alayhi wa sallam said: Allah has sent down both the disease and the cure, and He has appointed a cure for every disease, so treat yourselves medically, but use nothing unlawful.â (Abu Dawud, Tibb 11, 3874) |
| Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet, salla-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, said, There is no disease that Allah has sent down, except that He also has send down its treatment.(Bukhari 5678) |
| Abdullah ibn Masâud reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, âAllah did not send down any disease but that he also sent its cure.âIn another narration, the Prophet, salla-Allahu alahi wa sallam, said, âOne who has knowledge of it knows it, and one ignorant of it is ignorant.â (Sunan Ibn Majah 3438) |
According to these ahaadith it is clear that there is a cure for every disease. We cannot say, âThere is no cure for this or that disease.â If the medical professionals havenât found a cure for particular diseases, it proves their lack of research and nothing else. It is also possible that some patients are cured with a particular treatment and not others. Because in reality, it is Allah taâala Himself who cures due to these treatments, and not the medicine itself.
| And when I am sick, it is He Who cures me. (ash Shuâara 26/80) |
The pharmaceutical industry, which began in the mid-1800s, states that they discover, develop, produce, and market pharmaceutical drugs for use as medications to be administered to patients with the aim to cure them, vaccinate them, or alleviate symptoms. At the same time they try to hide, invalidate and ridicule parts of the cures which were sent down by Allah, and are widely known as alternative or traditional medicine.
People worship the pharma industry by relying on this industry for its toxic cures and treatments when cure comes from Allah.
How must one reject this taghut (Kufr bi-Taghut)?
A Muslim has to reject the pharma industry and those who work for them. He or she has to believe that cure comes from Allah taâala and not from these man-made chemicals. For example, if someone takes a painkiller and their pain disappears, itâs not because of the painkiller they took, but Allah alleviated their pain through this means.
A Muslim has to make takfir on the pharma industry and those who work for them and on those who donât make takfir on them.

Allah taâala says:

| He said, âMy Lord, since You made me go astray, I swear that I shall beautify for them (evils) on the earth, and shall lead all of them astray, except those of Your servants from among them who are chosen (by You).â (Al Hijr 15/39-40) |
Following him, may he be cursed, in kufr and shirk and worshiping others beside Allah is worshiping him.
| âDid I not command you, O children of Adam, that you should not worship the Devil. Verily, he is a plain enemy to you.â (YaSin 36/60) |
| (Ibrahim said) My dear father, do not worship shaytaan. shaytaan is surely rebellious to the All-Merciful, (Allah). (Maryam 19/44) |
