Muhammad Qasim emphasizes a lot on the fact that we should avoid Shirk

Muhammad Qasim emphasizes a
lot on the fact that we should avoid Shirk and its
forms because this is the only way we can
achieve success in this world and the hereafter.
And if we want to come out of darkness and
ignorance then we will have to get rid of shirk
and its forms, and also admonish others about
this. Allah has told Qasim in many dreams that
Qasim! I am only helping you because you have
started to avoid shirk and its different forms.
Allah has also told Qasim time and again that ‘I
will forgive any sin on the day of Resurrection/
Judgement but I will not forgive shirk’.
Examples of Shirk in Modern Times and How to
avoid it
It is very difficult for one to identify and avoid
shirk in modern times and sadly there is
abundance of shirk and its forms everywhere.
Even Allah told Qasim in a dream that this world
was never full of shirk like this before as it is
today. One of the forms of shirk is unnecessary
pictures and images – images on the packs of
food items and other daily use items. For
example, drinks, milk, yoghurt, shampoo, and
other items of use for men and women. Similarly
there is shirk in the movies where false Gods and
their powers are being shown or other evil acts
such as magic where they show normal humans
very powerful and also show them as gods. We
often see the statues or mannequin in the
clothes shop which is also a form of shirk.
1. If you see a picture on an advertisement board
then turn your face away and do not look at it
and say SubhanAllah. Meaning that whatever I
saw Allah is pure from it and He has no partners.
2. If you see statues or images in a park, shop or
any other place then take your eyes off them and
don’t look at them
3. If you are watching a movie and a false god is
being shown in it then stop watching it.
4. If you have any images or pictures in your
room or on the walls of your room then take
them off or remove them.
5. If your kids have toys, when they stop playing
with them then put them in a place where they
are not visible to your eyes
6. If there are any small pictures or statues in
your house then discard them and trash them as
appropriate.
7. If you have a perfume or any other beauty
items, some brands also have a picture or image
of a living being then please hide that image with
a tape or a marker because you will have to use
that product until it lasts
8. Even if you have a chewing-gum in your
pocket which has an image on it then do not
keep it in your pocket. OR remove the wrapper
that has an image off it
9. Do not say or write about anyone that he/she
is our hope rather say that Allah is the only
hope.
10. Keeping pictures on the mobile phone or
laptop is not a problem because they are not
showing. Even on the computer keep them
hidden in a folder.
11. If you have a picture of a living being on your
desktop OR your profile picture on social media
or anywhere else then please remove it because
every time you are seeing this image
unnecessarily when there is no need to see it.
12. You can make picture of you and your family
with a mobile phone or digital camera but keep
them hidden and only open them when needed
13. If you visit the a friend’s house and there are
images in his house or his room then do not
insist for them to be removed or trashed because
that house is not your property and neither you
are responsible for it. However if your friend
wants to learn about Shirk and they themselves
are willing to remove the images then its fine.
14. Similarly people keep such flower and plant
pots in the gardens that have images or
sometimes a fountain made out of a statue of a
living being – do not keep them in your houses
and if you see them in someone else’s house
then do not look at them.
15. Indian movies either start with an image of a
statue or false god, or within the movie they
show idol worship or shirk in some form. Film is
also a world as people use different terms for it
such as Film World or Cine-World etc and Allah
is also the Lord of this world too and even in this
Film World no one can be shown or declared a
partner to Allah either.
16. Sometimes we need to follow government
rules where there is a use of pictures, in such
situation use of pictures is permissible. Like
there are images on dollar and rupee, passport
and ID cards etc.
17. If someone has some health issues and there
is picture on the pack of medicine then it is ok
to keep that in our pocket however we shouldn’t
keep any unnecessary pictures in our pocket.
18. We also need to make sure that there are no
images of any living beings on our clothes that
we wear, any curtains that we use in the
windows, any bed sheets, towels, rugs, carpets
and even the prayer mat. It is much advisable to
use a prayer mat that has a very simple print or
design. Sometimes if there are too many flowers
or shapes on your prayer mat, they even make or
look like some image of a living being so it is
must to avoid such prayer mats too.
19. If you see a picture or a statue or a billboard
unintentionally then turn your eyes away but
even then say SubhanAllah
Dua in Hadith for protection from Shirk
With regard to minor shirk, the Messenger of
Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) warned us against it, fearing that his
ummah might fall into it. He (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The thing
I fear most for you is minor shirk.”
(Narrated by Ahmad, 23119. al-Albaani said in al-
Silsilah al-Saheehah (951): its isnaad is jayyid).
And he said: “Shirk among you is more subtle
than the sound of the footsteps of an ant on a
rock. Shall I not tell you of something which, if
you do it, it will take that away from you, both
minor and major forms of it. Say:
" ﺍﻟﻠَّﻬُﻢَّ ﺇِﻧِّﻲ ﺃَﻋُﻮﺫُ ﺑِﻚَ ﺃَﻥْ ﺃُﺷْﺮِﻙَ ﺑِﻚَ ﻭَﺃَﻧَﺎ ﺃَﻋْﻠَﻢُ، ﻭَﺃَﺳْﺘَﻐْﻔِﺮُﻙَ
ﻟِﻤَﺎ ﻻ ﺃَﻋْﻠَﻢُ
“Allaahumma inni a’oodhu bika an ushrika bika
wa ana a’lam wastaghfiruka lima laa a’lam”
O Allaah, I seek refuge with You from associating
anything with You knowingly, and I seek Your
forgiveness for that of which I am unaware.
Saheeh al-Jaami’, 2876.
Today’s sad reality is that none of the leaders of
the Muslim world try to avoid the shirk neither
any awareness is being given about this. But if
the Muslim Ummah wants to come out of the
darkness and regain its lost status then the only
possible way to achieve this is to abolish shirk
and its forms at all the levels. Insha’Allah
May Allah guide us and give us strength to
protect ourselves from all forms of shirk
