Is Every Conscious Sin A Shirk?
There can be multiple angles to see a problem. Yes, through this angle this is prefereing one’s own self or one’s own desire to God. This has been mentioned in the Quran in principle: see the verse: 25: 43 أَرَأَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ إِلَٰهَهُ هَوَاهُ أَفَأَنتَ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ وَكِيلًا The word Hawa, is used in the Quran in many places to tell how certain wishes or desires stood against God and His commands.
The real meaning of shirk is associating partners with God. That is unforgivable. Not all sins fall into this definition.
@Irfan76 okay sir so if we someone says like the normal person says that shirk is unforgivable but he does not think about linguistic terms. he just simply says what Quran says. that shirk is unforgivable, and other sins are sins which are forgivable and the definition of shirk, he gives that which we normally say is shirk, not in actual terms. so it would be right? i mean only the difference is of terms but the result of the inference is same. secondly sir, the christians are not called Mushrik because of Tawheed but their trinity creed is actually a full on shirk in it’s reality but they do taweel that’s why they aren’t called Mushrik. but the sins that normally not said to be shirk, are in and of itself not true shirk right? unlike trinity creed.
