Shirk (Polytheism) is the greatest sin, and this is because:

1️⃣ )  It is a likening of the creature to The Creator Taala in Divine characteristics, because whoever joins others in worship

with Allâh has, in fact, assimilated Him to this claimed partner.

And this is the greatest Dhulm (wrong deed), Allâh Taala said,

“إِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيمٌ” (لقمان 13)

- meaning – {Verily, Ash-Shirk (Polytheism) is indeed the highest wrongdoing}.

And Dhulm (wrong) is to put something in another place than its right place.

So if someone joins a partner in worship with Allâh, then he has put his worship in a wrong place and has performed his duty to this who does not deserve it, and this is more sinful.

2️⃣ )    Allâh informed that He would not forgive this

great sin for this who does not repent from it. Allâh Taala said,

“إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَغْفِرُ أَنْ يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ” (النساء 48)

- meaning – {Allâh forgives not that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgives anything else}.

3️⃣ )      Allâh informed that Paradise is forbidden for this who joins a partner with Allâh in worship and Hellfire will be his adobe eternally settling in there. Allâh Taala said,

“إِنَّهُ مَنْ يُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدْ حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَأْوَاهُ النَّارُ وَمَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ أَنصَارٍ” (المائدة 72)

- meaning – {Whoever joins other gods with Allâh, Allâh will forbid him the Paradise, and the Fire will be his abode. There will for the wrongdoers be no one to help}.

4️⃣ )     It (Shirk) causes all pious deeds to be in vain, Allâh Taala said,

“ذَلِكَ هُدَى اللَّهِ يَهْدِي بِهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ وَلَوْ أَشْرَكُوا لَحَبِطَ عَنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ” (الأنعام 88)

- meaning – {This is the Guidance of Allâh: He gives that guidance to whom He pleases of His worshippers. If they were to join other gods with Him, all that they did would be vain for them}.

And said,

“وَلَقَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ وَإِلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ لَئِنْ أَشْرَكْتَ لَيَحْبَطَنَّ عَمَلُكَ وَلَتَكُونَنَّ مِنْ الْخَاسِرِينَ” (الزمر70)

- meaning – {But it has already been revealed to you, - as it was to those before you - If you were to join (gods with Allâh), truly fruitless will be your work (in life), and you will surely be in the ranks of those who lose (all spiritual good)}.

5️⃣ )     The blood (life) and the property of the one who joins others with Allâh in worship is unproscribed, Allâh Taala said,

“فَاقْتُلُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ حَيْثُ وَجَدْتُمُوهُمْ وَخُذُوهُمْ وَاحْصُرُوهُمْ وَاقْعُدُوا لَهُمْ كُلَّ مَرْصَدٍ” (التوبة 5)

- meaning – {Then fight and slay the Pagans wherever you find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war)}.

And the Prophet r said,

“أمرت أن أقاتل الناس حتى يقولوا لا إله إلا الله و يُقيموا الصلاة و يُؤتوا الزكاة”

- meaning - “I have been commanded (by Allâh) to fight against people till they testify that, ‘Lâ ilâha illallâh’, i.e. ‘there is no one worthy of worship but Allâh, and that Muhammad r is the Messenger of Allâh’, perform Prayer, and pay Zakat. So if they do that, their blood and property are guaranteed protection on my behalf except when justified by law, and their affairs rest with Allâh”.

6️⃣ )    Shirk is the greatest among Kaba’er (Great Sins), the Prophet said,

“ألا أنبئكم بأكبر الكبائر”

- meaning - “Should I not inform you about the most grievous of the grave sins?” We (his companions) said, Yes, O Messenger of Allâh r”, he said,

“الإشراك بالله وعقوق الوالدين”

- meaning - “Associating anyone with Allâh, disobedience to parents…”

Therefore, Shirk (Polytheism) is the greatest Dhulm (Wrong deed), and the Tawhîd (Monotheism) is the fairest just.

And whatever contradicts with this aimed fact most, then it is the greatest Dhulm (wrong) and Allâh has forbidden Paradise for those who join with Him others in worship and He unproscribed their lives, properties, and wives for those who worship Him alone.

And then allowed for the latter to keep the former as slaves because of their polytheism. Moreover, Allâh refused to approve any single deed for the polytheist, or to accept any intercession from anyone.

Or even accept a call from him on the Day of Resurrection.

This is because the polytheist is the most ignorant man for he adopted with Allâh a partner, and this is in fact a mere ignorance, but the Dhulm (unjust) committed is not against Allâh, it is against himself.

7️⃣ )     Shirk is defect and a fault, which Allâh deemed himself far above.

Therefore, whoever joined with Allâh others in worship has approved to Allâh features that Allâh deemed Himself far above, and this is an extreme contradiction and opposition to Allâh.
