Many claim that Muslims and J... worship the same God and are both monotheists — but is this true according to Islam? In this clip, Shaykh Salih al Fawzan clarifies the Islamic stance, referencing Qur’anic verses that make the matter clear. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ Explanation: Yes, the Jews are mushrikīn — pagans and polytheists. Why? Because being a true muwaḥḥid (monotheist) does not mean simply “believing in one god.” It means singling out Allah alone in 1. His exclusive right to be worshiped (ulūhiyyah), 2. His lordship (rubūbiyyah), 3. The perfection of His names and attributes (al-asmāʾ waṣ-ṣifāt). Giving any part of that to other than Allah — whether to a human, rock, tree, star, or even through mere belief — is shirk (polytheism). 🌍 Nearly every religion in the world claims belief in one supreme deity, yet they violate His rights by directing worship or divine attributes to others — just as the Christians worship ʿĪsā (Jesus), peace be upon him. 📌 As for the Jews, as I explained in my video notes, not only did they claim (and some still do) that ʿUzayr is the son of Allah, but even if they abandoned that specific claim, their shirk remains clear in multiple areas: Shirk in Lordship (Rubūbiyyah): They followed their rabbis in declaring ḥarām as ḥalāl and ḥalāl as ḥarām — giving to their scholars a share of Allah’s sole right of legislation. Shirk in Worship (Ulūhiyyah): They practiced magic (Kabbalah) and engaged in grave worship, directing acts of devotion to other than Allah. Shirk in Names and Attributes (Al-Asmāʾ waṣ-Ṣifāt): They attributed deficiencies to Allah — such as stinginess and other false attributes (aʿūdhu billāh). This is shirk, because it likens the Creator to His creation by ascribing to Him imperfections. 🔥 Conclusion: The Jews, like other religions, claim monotheism but fall into clear shirk in all three aspects of Tawḥīd. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ This is an important reminder about the reality of iman, following the messengers, and rejecting shirk. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📜 Official Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynbCIhnwFqo ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Hashtags: #Islam #Quran #Tawheed #Shirk #Iman #Muslims #Jews #Monotheism #IslamicBelief #ShaykhSalihAlFawzan #Aqeedah #TruthAboutMonotheism #IslamicReminders #IslamicKnowledge #IslamicTeaching #QuranAndSunnah #MuslimCreed #OnenessOfAllah
