Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if one calls upon other than Allah, is he seeking their benefit, and thus has he associated partners with Allah in lordship? And based on that, do we say that the polytheists of Quraysh had shirk (associating partners with Allah) in lordship?
Answer:
Leave this philosophy. One who calls upon other than Allah is a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah); because he directed a type of worship to other than Allah. The greatest type of worship directed to other than Allah makes one a mushrik. That is the end of it.
