Monotheism & Polytheism

A single drop of polytheism [شرك] can turn a mountain of good deeds into dust and a drop of monotheism [توحيد] can crush and turn a mountain of sins into dust.

Imam Ibn Rajab said:
فإن هذا التوحيد هو الإكسير الأعظم ، فلو وضع منه ذرة على جبال الذنوب والخطايا لقلبها حسنات
“Tawheed is the greatest elixir; if an atom of it were to be placed on mountains of sins, it would turn them into good deeds.”
[“Jaami‘ al-‘Uloom wa’l-Hikam”, 2/417].

Whatever you lose, make sure you never lose your Tawheed. That’s the key to eternal salvation.

Shirk causes eternal damnation…
