وقال الله تعالى: (وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّهُ فَأَنَّى يُؤْفَكُونَ)
[ العنكبوت:61]
And If you were to ask them: "Who has created the heavens and the earth and subjected the sun and the moon?"
They will surely reply: "Allâh."
How then are they deviating (as polytheists and disbelievers)?
[Surah Al-Ankaboot: Ayah 61]
وقال الله تعالى: ( قُلْ مَن يَرْزُقُكُم مِّنَ السَّمَاء وَالأَرْضِ أَمَّن يَمْلِكُ السَّمْعَ والأَبْصَارَ وَمَن يُخْرِجُ الْحَيَّ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ وَيُخْرِجُ الْمَيَّتَ مِنَ الْحَيِّ وَمَن يُدَبِّرُ الأَمْرَ فَسَيَقُولُونَ اللّهُ فَقُلْ أَفَلاَ تَتَّقُونَ.فَذَلِكُمُ اللّهُ رَبُّكُمُ الْحَقُّ فَمَاذَا بَعْدَ الْحَقِّ إِلاَّ الضَّلاَلُ فَأَنَّى تُصْرَفُونَ) [يونس:31-32]
Say (O Muhammad SAW):
"Who provides for you from the sky and the earth?
Or who owns hearing and sight?
And who brings out the living from the dead and brings out the dead from the living?
And who disposes the affairs?"
They will say: "Allâh."
Say: "Will you not then be afraid of Allâh's Punishment (for setting up rivals in worship with Allâh)?".
Such is Allâh, your Lord in truth.
So after the truth, what else can there be, save error?
How then are you turned away?
[Surah Yunus: Ayaat 31-32]
وقال الله تعالى: ( قُل لِّمَنِ الْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهَا إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ *سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِ قُلْ أَفلا تَذَكَّرُون قُلْ مَن رَّبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ* سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِ قُلْ أَفلا تَتَّقُونَ *قُلْ مَن بِيَدِهِ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَهُوَ يُجِيرُ ولا يُجَارُ عَلَيْهِ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُون َ*سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِ قُلْ فَأَنَّى تُسْحَرُونَ *بَلْ أَتَيْنَاهُم بِالْحَقِّ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ) [المؤمنون 84-90]
Say: "Whose is the earth and whosoever is therein? If you know!"
They will say: "It is Allâh's!"
Say: "Will you not then remember?"
Say: "Who is (the) Lord of the seven heavens, and (the) Lord of the Great Throne?"
They will say: "Allâh."
Say: "Will you not then fear Allâh (believe in His Oneness, obey Him, believe in the Resurrection and Recompense for every good or bad deed)?"
Say "In Whose Hand is the sovereignty of everything (i.e. treasures of each and everything)? And He protects (all), while against Whom there is no protector, (i.e. if Allâh saves anyone none can punish or harm him, and if Allâh punishes or harms anyone none can save him), if you know?" [Tafsir Al-Qurtubî]
They will say: "(All that belongs) to Allâh."
Say: "How then are you deceived and turn away from the truth?"
Nay, but We have brought them the truth (Islâmic Monotheism), and verily, they (disbelievers) are liars.
[Surah Muminoon: Ayaat 84-90]
شرك قريش
وقال الله تعالى: ( إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ فَاعْبُدِ اللَّهَ مُخْلِصًا لَّهُ الدِّينَ * أَلا لِلَّهِ الدِّينُ الْخَالِصُ وَالَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِهِ أَوْلِيَاء مَا نَعْبُدُهُمْ إِلا لِيُقَرِّبُونَا إِلَى اللَّهِ زُلْفَى ) [الزمر:2-3]
(Verily, We have sent down the Book to you (O Muhammad SAW) in truth: So worship Allâh (Alone) by doing religious deeds sincerely for Allâh's sake only. Surely, the religion (i.e. the worship and the obedience) is for Allâh only. And those who take Auliyâ' (protectors, helpers, lords, gods) besides Him (say):
"We worship them only that they may bring us near to Allâh."
Verily, Allâh will judge between them concerning that wherein they differ. Truly, Allâh guides not him who is a liar, and a disbeliever.
[Surah Az-Zumar: Ayaat 2-3]
وقال الله تعالى: ( وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللّهِ مَا لاَ يَضُرُّهُمْ وَلاَ يَنفَعُهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ هَؤُلاء شُفَعَاؤُنَا عِندَ اللّهِ قُلْ أَتُنَبِّئُونَ اللّهَ بِمَا لاَ يَعْلَمُ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَلاَ فِي الأَرْضِ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ) [يونس : 18]
And they worship besides Allâh things that hurt them not, nor profit them, and they say:
"These are our intercessors with Allâh."
Say:
"Do you inform Allâh of that which He knows not in the heavens and on the earth?" Glorified and Exalted is He above all that which they associate as partners (with Him)!
[Surah Yunus: Ayah 18]
وقال الله تعالى: ( فَإِذَا رَكِبُوا فِي الْفُلْكِ دَعَوُا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ فَلَمَّا نَجَّاهُمْ إِلَى الْبَرِّ إِذَا هُمْ يُشْرِكُونَ )
[العنكبوت:65]
And when they embark on a ship, they invoke Allâh, making their Faith pure for Him only, but when He brings them safely to land, behold, they give a share of their worship to others.
[Surah Al-Ankaboot: Ayah 65]
As it is clear from the above Ayaats of the Quran, that The Quraysh, the People of Makkah at the time of the Prophet
used to belive that Allah is the Rabb (The Creator Sustainer and Maintainer of the Universe).
Their Shirk was Shirk in Ibaadah(Worship), they used to associate Partners in Worship to Allah.
Ironically, this same Shirk is found in many of the Muslims lands.
