For the purpose of learning from the
Children of Israel, the full narration
will be given, Abi Ja'far (a.s) said:
"alWaqatun[Those who give times]
have lied, [indeed] they have lied.
Verily when Moses (a.s) went out
[from his people] going towards his
Lord, he promised them [that he
will be absent for] 30 days, so when
Allah (swt) added 10 [days] to these
30 [days], his people said about
him: 'Moses (a.s) has broken his
promise', so they constructed their
construction [a golden cow to
worship]. Hence if we narrate to
you a narration, and what we
narrated arrives [in this world],
then you should say: 'Allah (swt)
has told the truth.' And if we
narrate to you a narration, and it
arrives different then what we
narrated, then you should say,
'Allah (swt) has told the truth', you
will be rewarded twice [for this]."

What is Hidden Shirk?
By: HussainTheShortcomer
Salam alaykum, there has been
much information related to Shirk
(meaning to associate others with
God) and I thought it would be
good to be more informed about it.
First two questions from
Mutashabihat by Imam Ahmad (as)
will be shown, while reading these
two questions do not be distressed
as at first it may seem like
everything is Shirk, continue
reading where we will discuss how
each one of us has work to do. Also
information will be taken from the
book Journey of Moses by Imam
Ahmad (as) where it relates to this
topic.

Question 27: What is the meaning
of AlHussein’s pbuh saying in
Du’aa’ ‘Arfa: (My Lord take me out
from the lowliness of myself, and
purify me from my doubt and my
Shirk([1]) )?
Answer: There are various types of
Shirk, of them are:
1- The Apparent Shirk: And it also
has divisions, it includes: The
outright Shirk in the religious
ideology such as worshiping idols
and sculptures, and worshiping
errant non-working scholars. And
they are the idols that have tongues,
just as was mentioned in the Noble
Quran ([2]) and from the Messenger
(pbuhahf) and the Imams (pbut) in
the dispraise of the Jews who
obeyed their scholars in disobeying
Allah and thus they had worshiped
them by that ([3]).
fulfilling all his needs, and to take in
account that the servants are a mere
medium and tool in Allah’s Control
which He (swt) subjugates however
He wishes and wherever He wishes
for fulfilling His wish, so if the
servant turns towards Allah it does
not harm him to deal with the
people.
2- The Hidden Shirk: And it
includes hypocrisy with all its
regions
