Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: The shirk of the owner of the two Gardens is mentioned in Surat al-Kahf. The question is: What is this shirk that he committed?
Answer:
Because he claimed that the two Gardens were obtained by his merit, his effort, and his earnings. Yes, and there is no doubt that this is a denial of Allah’s blessing upon him. His companion said to him, “Have you disbelieved in the One who…?” Because he said, “And I do not think the Hour is going to come.” So the one who associates partners with Allah regarding the Day of Resurrection is a disbeliever. Yes.
