Is Every Conscious Sin A Shirk?
@Irfan76 sir so wouldn’t every sin become a shirk then? because in every sin big or small, a person does a disobedience of God. so what is the difference remaining like in an ayat Allah says that Allah does not forgive shirk but lesser than that for whomever He wills. so where is that lesser form? or the ayah you wrote about is when a person becomes a rebel of God to fulfill his wishes? which is like akin to Istikbaar. so if someone does sins but not out of Istikbaar, then they are not technically a slave a worshipper of their desire. in other words they haven’t made a conscious mind that I’ll fulfill what my desire says and what Allah says is of no priority. if someone did behave like this then this example is of the person (who made his desire his god, which he can’t say no to. or in other words, for him nothing is above his desire). so in the ayah above its talking about that person who’s become rebellious of Allah to keep his false god (desire) high
Yes. The Quran is so cautious that it never used thr term Mushrik to the people of book especially to the Christians although it tells that their doctrine of trinity is shirk. But since it was a shirk with Taweel so they were not called Mushrik. You can see how God behaves. He does not follow the logistic meanings or inferences.
