Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, which is the greater shirk: the shirk of likening Allah to creation or the shirk of denying the divine attributes?
Answer:
There is no doubt that denial of the divine attributes is more severe, and that denial of the divine attributes is a denial of the Creator in the first place. As for likening Allah to creation, it acknowledges the Creator but likens Him to others. Yes.
