Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is meant by the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Yusuf 12:106] Is the meaning minor shirk?
Answer:
[Yusuf 12:106] They believe in the oneness of lordship [Yusuf 12:106] in the oneness of worship. This is the meaning of the verse, and Allah knows best, because the polytheists believe in Allah in terms of the oneness of lordship, but they associate partners with Him in the oneness of worship. Yes.
