Monotheists vs Polytheists

English book, p. 27

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

MONOTHEISTS VS POLYTHEISTS Monotheism emphasizes that humans should have the utmost love for their Lord, trust Him alone, and place their hopes in God alone. A profound spiritual connection is established psychologically when a person truly believes in the existence of the One God. He starts receiving inspiration from God. He begins to experience God in his memories, catching glimpses of Him in his tears. God becomes ever-present in his thoughts and feelings as if he has entered the proximity of His divine presence and started living under the shelter of His mercy. The Quran declares that associating partners with God (shirk) is the greatest injustice (zulm). (31:13). Zulm refers to placing something in the wrong place. In other words, shirk is completely alien in this universe. Therefore, embracing polytheistic beliefs or engaging in polytheistic actions has no place in God’s plan of creation.
