Why God Will Never Forgive Shirk?
The concept of One Creator is a-priori, i.e. innate in our nature and it is verified through various means as I discussed in the above discussion. Even for someone who has no knowledge of Islam, the concept of shirk has no objective basis.
There’s no question of “knowingly” as far as shirk is concerned. This is because we can’t “know” anything other than monotheism, as I have stated in the discussion referenced above.
Associating anything with God, needs a lot of courage,, that your statement would not be refutable, and statement would be eternal, and statement is from alll knowing,, and if you statement proven wrong by Other Signs(ayats) of God, then that will be shirk.. e.g. what we see is sun and it rises everyday.. now an association statement : sun will not rise on wednesday because God told me and Sun rose on wednesday.. ,, so this means Lord of Sun did According to his rule, and the person who associated with God was more likely a liar..
