Hi I just have a question maybe someone can help me understand. So my question is this; about whom is the word polytheists used toward? I actually thought this was addressed toward Christians and Jews But now I think I can be mistaken. So I pasted the verse below. Can you please let me know, is polytheists used toward Jews and Christians too? or is this used toward other religions? Al-Hajj 22 17. Those who believe, and those who are Jewish, and the Sabeans, and the Christians, and the Zoroastrians, and the Polytheists-God will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection. God is witness to all things. |

Salaam The polytheists in that verse are in reference to the Meccans and the people of the Prophet (SalAllahu Alayhi wa sallam). But as a general rule everyone else who believes in a deity other than Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala is considered to be a polytheist. Islam is the only religion that professes the Oneness of God Almighty in the way that He wants us to worship Him. In Islam it is called Tawheed. ------------- La Ilaha IllAllah |
