alone.”1 There are many verses conveying this meaning.

Thus, the evidence has come in overwhelming succession, and the texts of the Quran and sunnah have mutually reinforced one another in warning against directing supplication to anyone besides Allah, prohibiting it, and condemning its perpetrator in the strongest terms. This has become one of the indisputable fundamentals of this religion, doubted by no one who understands the Book of Allah and the sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The Quranic texts establishing this take various forms and recur in many places because of the grave danger of invoking anyone besides Allah and because this is the most common form of shirk. Some scholars have even said: “We know of no form of unbelief or apostasy concerning which as many texts have been revealed as have been revealed concerning invoking anyone besides Allah—prohibiting it, warning against committing it, and threatening punishment for it.”2

Among these texts are the words of Allah, Glorious and Exalted is He: “Call upon your Lord humbly and privately. Indeed, He does not love transgressors. Do not spread corruption in the land after it has been set aright, and call upon Him with fear and hope. Surely Allah’s mercy is near to those who do good.”3

He, Exalted is He, also says: “Say, ‘Call upon Allah or call upon the Most Merciful. Whichever name you call upon Him by, to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names.’”4

And He says: “He is the Ever-Living; there is no deity except Him. So call upon Him, devoting your worship sincerely to Him. All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of all worlds.”5

الخَالِصُ﴾ ١، والآياتُ في هذا المعنى كثيرةٌ. ولهذا فقد تواترت الأدلةُ وتضافرت النصوص في الكتاب والسنة على التحذير من صرفِ الدعاء لغير الله والنهي عن ذلك وذمِّ فاعله بأشدِّ أنواع الذمِّ، حتى صار ذلك من ضروريات هذا الدِّين التي لا يرتابُ فيها كلُّ مَن فهم كتاب الله وسنَّةَ رسوله ﷺ، وقد تنوَّعت دلالاتُ نصوص القرآن الكريم المشتملةِ على ذلك وتكرَّرت في مواطن كثيرة، وذلك لشدَّةِ خطورةِ دعاء غير الله، ولكونه أكثر أنواع الشرك وقوعاً، حتى قال بعضُ أهل العلم: " لا نعلم نوعاً من أنواع الكفر والرِّدة ورد فيه من النصوص مثل ما ورد في دعاء غير الله بالنهي عنه والتحذير من فعلِه والوعيد عليه "٢. فمِن هذه النصوص قول الله ﵎: ﴿ادْعُوا رَبَّكُمْ تَضَرُّعاً وَخُفْيَةً إِنَّهُ لاَ يُحِبُّ المُعْتَدِينَ وَلاَ تُفْسِدُوا فِي الأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلاَحِهَا وَادْعُوهُ خَوْفاً وَطَمَعاً إنَّ رَحْمَةَ اللهِ قَرِيبٌ مِنَ المُحْسِنينَ﴾ ٣، وقال تعالى: ﴿قُلِ ادْعُوا اللهَ أَوْ ادْعُوا الرَّحْمَنَ أيًّا مَا تَدْعُوا فَلَهُ الأَسْمَاءُ الحُسْنَى﴾ ٤، وقال تعالى: ﴿هُوَ الحَيُّ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ فَادْعُوهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ الحَمْدُ للهِ رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ﴾ ٥.
