Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is shirk (associating partners with Allah) one of the corrupting factors in the Muslim society? And is it the key to division and conflict?
Answer:
Without a doubt, shirk (associating partners with Allah) corrupts the Muslim society. Only tawhid (the oneness of Allah) can reform the Muslim society. If there are mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah) in it, disagreement, discord, and conflict occur. The society becomes divided and its word is split. The greatest thing that corrupts societies is shirk (associating partners with Allah). Yes.
