Explaining the greatness of shirk (associating partners with Allah) and that it is greater than killing the soul
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Answer:
Associating partners with Allah is shirk, and killing the soul is a major sin among the major sins. Shirk is greater, greater than a major sin. So in the sense that it is associating partners with Allah, it is greater than killing the soul. Also, shirk is not forgiven, whereas the one who kills the soul is under the will of Allah: if Allah forgives him, He forgives him, and if He punishes him, [An-Nisa 4:48] Yes.
