❗️This verse emphasizes the *severity of Shirk,* declaring it the *unforgivable sin* if one *dies without repenting.*
‼️ Islamic scholars explain that forgiveness is entirely in Allah’s (سبحانه وتعالي ) hands, but He has *explicitly stated He will not forgive Shirk.*
———
*Allah Does not Forgive Shirk, Except After Repenting From it*
إِنَّ اللّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِ ❌
Verily, Allah forgives not that partners should be set up with Him (in worship),
[meaning, He does not forgive a servant if he meets Him while he is associating partners with Him.]
وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ 🤲🏼
but He forgives except that (of sins),
لِمَن يَشَاء ♥️
to whom He wills, of His servants.

*Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,☝🏼 Allah said,*
🤲🏼 "O My servant! As long as you worship and beg Me, I will forgive you, no matter your shortcomings.
🌍 O My servant! If you meet Me with the earth's fill of sin, yet you do not associate any partners with Me, I will meet you with its fill of forgiveness."
———
وَمَن يُشْرِكْ بِاللّهِ فَقَدِ افْتَرَى إِثْمًا عَظِيمًا
❗️and whoever sets up partners with Allah in worship, he has indeed invented a tremendous sin.
إِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيمٌ
‼️ Verily, joining others in worship with Allah is a great Zulm (wrong) indeed. (31:13)

*In the Two Sahihs, it is recorded that Ibn Mas`ud said,*
♦️ "I said, `O Messenger of Allah! Which is the greatest sin?'
🌹 He said,
أَنْ تَجْعَلَ للهِ نِدًّا وَهُوَ خَلَقَك
☝🏼To make a rival with Allah, while He Alone created you.
