The Ruling on the Heart’s Worship of the Beloved
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It was mentioned to us that the heart's worship of the beloved is considered shirk (associating partners with Allah). Is this included in the statement of the Exalted,[Al-Baqarah 2:165]? And is it major shirk or minor shirk?
Answer:
Shirk in love; this is shirk in love. One loves Allah and loves these things along with Him, so it is shirk in love. Yes.

And [yet], among the people are those who take other than Allah as equals

Shirk in love; this is shirk in love. One loves Allah and loves these things along with Him, so it is shirk in love. Yes.
