(Explanation of the three categories of people: the polytheist, the denier, and the monotheist) And the people in this matter are three groups*** There is no fourth among those capable of possibility; one of the groups is a polytheist with his god***

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And the people in this matter are three groups*** There is no fourth ever among those capable of possibility
One of the groups is a polytheist with his god*** If he calls upon him, he calls upon a second god"

...they call upon al-Lat and al-Uzza and Manat... and every people has their idol, they call upon... and they do not call upon Allah.
"This is the first of these categories*** And the second of these categories is a denier who calls upon other than the Most Merciful"
...he does not call upon but one god, but he may have denied Allah, the Lord of the worlds, and come to call upon other than Him. In the present day, there are nations that do not know Allah, but only know their leaders, so they call upon their leaders, is that not so? The Buddhists, whom do they worship? They worship Buddha, and they do not know Allah at all. These are deniers, they worship other than Allah, and this is the second category.
"He is a denier of the Lord who calls upon other than Him*** Two feet for him: shirk and denial"
Meaning: that shirk and denial are for him like two feet, he walks upon them, may Allah protect us, and what bad feet they are. So this is the second. The first is a polytheist who calls upon two gods, and the second is a denier who calls upon one god. Who is it? He calls upon other than Allah.
