Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
1] Can you give an explanation of the true meaning of shirk as we sunnis see it.
Why are the wahhbis and deobandis obsessed with this word and apply it so liberally to the ahle sunnah wal jamaat,
2] What is their basis in crying out shirk, for instance when we pray at the shrine of Sarkar-e-do-Alam Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam and the Aulia-Allah.
JAZAKALLAH FOR YOUR TIME.

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Wa'alaykum 'Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa BarakatuhuAll Praise be to Allah who is the Lord of the Worlds, and may Endless Blessings be showered upon His Most Beloved, and Final Messenger of Islam, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa 'aalihi wa SallamJazak'allah for your question. We Sunnis [Ahl as-Sunnat wal Jama'ah] recognise ' shirk' to mean to associate partners with Allah the Almighty in any kind of form, or action. Since other sects who do not belong to the Ahl as-Sunnat wal Jama'ah, dislike certain acts carried out by the Ahl as-Sunnat, and try to prove this from their own reasoning, they claim that we are ' Mushrik'. For example, the asking for assistance from those who have left this world. This includes the Beloved Messenger of Allah Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam, His Beloved Companions, and all those great personalities of Islam, which history recognised them to be of help to the creation of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, in their lifetime, and after their lifetime. The comtemporaries want to declare their own doctrines, and want their claims to be forced onto the Ummah (people). They do this by creating doubt into the minds of thousands of innocent Muslims. Islam was never based on doubt, nor did it ever indulge the method of creating doubt, but it rather gave proofs from the Qur'an al kareem, and the Sunnah, in order for correct actions to be carried out. It is the same Qur'an al kareem and Sunnah, which the cotemporaries use, in order to declare the innocent Muslims as 'Mushrik'. They use those verses from the Qur'an al kareem, and those ahadith from the Sunnah, which would normally be applicable to the Kuffar, and mushrikin, at the time of the Beloved Messenger of Allah Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa 'aalihi wa Sallam, and then they deviate Muslims, using those same verses, and ahadith. In essence, they have no basis for crying out shirk, they just want to be heard, and believed. But why should the innocent Muslims of today, start believing in those people who try to falsely claim Islam, when such people had already existed, at the time of the Beloved Messenger of Allah Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam, as He Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam had singled out, and identified, each and every one of them, AND He Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam, also foretold His Community what the signs of such people would be, where they would emerge from, what they would look like, and what they will believe? May Allah the Almighty keep our hearts free from the teachings and the beliefs, of all deviant sects, and may He protect the Community of His Beloved Messenger Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam, in this world, and the Hereafter. (Amin)Wallahu A'lamu BiththawaabM. Waseem Ashrafi
