有一种情况是,一位多神论者声称自己只是想尊崇真主的威严,认为真主的伟大要求人必须通过中介来接近祂,就像拜见国王或总统一样。在这种情况下,这位多神论者认为自己不应冒犯神明的尊严,而应当尊崇祂。他会说:"我崇拜这些中介,是为了接近真主、进入祂的面前;那么,为何这一神圣的律令会带来祂的震怒和诅咒,判我在后世永远居于火狱之中,并允许杀害我、掠夺我的家人和财产?"由上述问题又引出另一个问题:真主 ~ 是否可能为其仆人立法,允许他们通过中介和代求者来接近祂,因为从伊斯兰律法中可能推知这种行为是被禁止的;还是说这类行为同样为人的天性和理性所排斥,因此伊斯兰教法不应允许它?真主 ~ 在一切罪恶中唯独不赦免任何形式的以物配主,这其中的奥秘何在?祂说:(真主必不宽恕以物配祂的罪过,祂宽恕此外的罪过,给祂所意欲的人。)1 请仔细思考这个问题,你就会认识到多神论者与一神论者之间的区别;你将分辨出认识真主的人与忽视祂的人,天堂的居民与火狱的居民。 靠真主 ~ 的成全——唯有祂引导仆人走上正道——我说:多神论分为两类:(1)与真主的属性、名称和行为相关的多神论。(2)与崇拜祂、以及人对祂的行为态度相关的多神论,尽管在某些情况下,一个人仍可能相信真主是独一的,在祂的属性、名称和行为上没有同伴。第一类多神论又分为两种:第一种称为"ta'teef",即…… 一种观念否认真主的一切属性，例如法老的情形，他说：（全世界的主是什么？）2。真主~也告诉我们法老的多神崇拜，说：（法老说："哈曼啊！你为我建造一座高塔，好让我能到达通路——天上的通路，我好去看看穆萨的主。"我确信他是个说谎者。）3这种神学观念否认真主对其创造物的至高、完美与全能。它否定了仆人纯净存在的目的，即确立伊斯兰的独一论（唯独崇拜真主~）。其次，另一类多神崇拜是那些以伙伴与真主~并列的人，他们并不否认真主的名称或神性，例如基督徒的多神崇拜，他们认为上帝是三位一体中的第三位，认为弥赛亚是神，他的母亲（和/或圣灵）也是神。还有琐罗亚斯德教徒（拜火教徒）的多神崇拜，他们把一切善事归于光明，一切恶事归于黑暗。在这方面确实还有许多多神论派别，例如早期伊斯兰的另一神学流派盖德里叶派（Al-Qadariyah），他们主张人有自由意志，否认真主在其创造物的行为中的意志；萨比教徒信奉占星术，崇拜星辰，相信它们在management管理着这个世界的事务，等等……

There is a case where a polytheist claims that he/she only intends to honour the Majesty of God, believing that the Greatness of God requires that he should enter upon Him through mediators, just like visiting a king or president. The polytheist, in this case, believes that he/she should not offend the Honour of the Deity, but dignify Him, instead. Say: "I worship these mediators to get closer to God and enter His Presence; so, why does this Divine Decree bring His Anger and Curse upon me; sentencing me to live eternally in the Hell-Fire, in the Hereafter, legalising my killing, and the possession of my family and property?" Another question results from the above question: Is it possible that Allah ~ could legislate for His Servants to approach Him through mediators and intercessors, as its forbiddance may be understood from Islamic legislation, or is it that such acts are also rejected by human nature and reason, and so Shari' ah should not allow it? What is the secret to the fact that Allah ~ does not forgive any form of polytheism, among all sins, for He ~ said: (Verily, Allah does not forgive that partners should be set up with Hirn (in worship), but He forgives anything else, for whom He wills) 1? Consider this question well, and you will come to realise the difference between polytheists and monotheists; you will distinguish those who know Allah ~ from those who ignore Him; the people of Paradise from the people of the Hell-Fire. With the Success of Allah ~' Who Alone guides His Servants to the Right Path, I say: There are two types of polytheism: ( 1) That which is related to God's Attributes, Names and Actions. (2) That which is related to worshipping Him and conducting oneself towards Him, even though in some cases, a person may still believe that God is Alone, having no partners to share His Attributes, Names and Actions with. The first type of polytheism is also divided to two types: First, a type of polytheism called "ta 'teef' i.e. a concept which denies God all His Attributes, like the case of Pharaoh, who said: (and what is the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists)?)2 . Allah ~ has also informed us about the polytheism of Pharaoh, saying: (Pharaoh said: "0 Haman! Build me a tower that I may arrive at the ways - the ways of the heavens, and I may look on Musa's God." Truly, I think he is a liar.)3 This theological concept denies God His Supremacy, Perfection and Omnipotence over His Creation. It denies the purpose of a servant his/her pure existence, which is to establish Islamic Monotheism (worshipping Allah~ Alone). Second, a type of polytheism is of those who associate partners with Allah ~. without denying Him His Names or Godship, like the polytheism of the Christians who consider God as the third of the three (in a Trinity), with the Messiah as a god, and his mother (and/or the Holy Spirit) as a god. There is also the polytheism of the Magi (Zoroastrians) who relate all good events to light, and all bad events to darkness. There are indeed many polytheist sects in this context, like Al-Qadariyah, which is another theological school of early Islam, who assert man's freewill , and deny the Will of Allah in the actions of His Creation; the Sabians follow astrology, worshipping stars and planets, believing that they are managing the affairs of this world, etc ...
