Question:
This is Abu Badr from al-Kharj. He says: Honorable Shaykh, regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted[Al-An'am 6:82], how does a person achieve pure faith in Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, and how does he achieve the magnification and estimation of Allah in his heart?
Answer:
[Al-An'am 6:82] The injustice referred to here is shirk (associating partners with Allah), meaning those who purified their tawhid (the oneness of Allah) for Allah the Mighty and Majestic and did not mix it with shirk, because shirk is the greatest injustice. This is what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) clarified for his Companions when this verse was difficult for them. They said: "O Messenger of Allah, which of us has not wronged himself?"
So he clarified to them that the injustice meant here is not what you think; it is shirk. Have you not heard the saying of the righteous servant: "Indeed, shirk is a great injustice"?[Luqman 31:13] The greatest type of injustice is shirk. Therefore, the one who protects his tawhid and his creed from shirk will have absolute security on the Day of Resurrection, when intense fear occurs, and likewise in this world. The people of tawhid are the people of security and tranquility, and all praise is due to Allah, always and forever. So the Muslim realizes his tawhid and preserves it from shirk, and if any shirk occurs from him, he hastens to repent to Allah the Mighty and Majestic from it, and Allah accepts the repentance of whoever repents. Yes.

They who believe and do not mix their belief with injustice - those will have security, and they are [rightly] guided.
الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُوا إِيمَانَهُم بِظُلْمٍ أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمُ الْأَمْنُ وَهُم مُّهْتَدُونَAnswer:
They who believe and do not mix their belief with injustice

O my son, do not associate [anything] with Allah. Indeed, association [with him] is great injustice."
