Allaah تعالى says:
﴿وَالَّذِينَ
اتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِهِ أَوْلِيَاءَ مَا نَعْبُدُهُمْ إِلَّا لِيُقَرِّبُونَا إِلَى
اللَّـهِ زُلْفَىٰ﴾
{And those who take
Auliyaa' (protectors and helpers) besides Him (say): “We worship them only that
they may bring us nearer to Allaah.”}
[Surah al-Zumar (39): 3]
Shaikh Saaleh al-Fawzaan حفظه الله said:
“They did not intend
Shirk, nor was it their aim. They only thought that by this they are fulfilling
acts of worship and as a means of getting closer to Allaah سبحانه وتعالى. See how Shaitaan approaches the children of Aadam (to mislead
them), and how the Shayaateen from amongst the men approach the children of
Aadam and beautify for them this matter.
We say to them: you might
not be (directly) worshiping the idols (like the people of old); but instead,
you have set up the righteous people as intermediaries between you and Allaah; and
with Allaah تعالى this is still an act of Shirk. He تعالى
says:
﴿وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ
اللَّـهِ مَا لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ وَلَا يَنفَعُهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ هَـٰؤُلَاءِ شُفَعَاؤُنَا
عِندَ اللَّـهِ ۚ
قُلْ أَتُنَبِّئُونَ اللَّـهَ بِمَا لَا يَعْلَمُ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَلَا فِي الْأَرْضِ
ۚ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ﴾
{AND THEY WORSHIP BESIDES
ALLAAH THINGS THAT HURT THEM NOT, NOR PROFIT THEM, AND THEY SAY: "THESE
ARE OUR INTERCESSORS WITH ALLAAH." SAY: "DO YOU INFORM ALLAAH OF THAT
WHICH HE KNOWS NOT IN THE HEAVENS AND ON THE EARTH?" GLORIFIED AND EXALTED
BE HE ABOVE ALL THAT WHICH THEY ASSOCIATE AS PARTNERS WITH HIM!}
[Surah Yunus (10): 18]
Look how Allaah تعالى
freed Himself from them and their acts when He said: {GLORIFIED AND
EXALTED BE HE ABOVE ALL...}
And He تعالى
labeled their act as Shirk: {...THAT WHICH THEY ASSOCIATE AS PARTNERS WITH HIM!}
They (in their ignorance)
do not consider this as Shirk; they only refer it as a means of seeking an
intercession. Therefore, one should take every precaution against (falling into)
this.”
