How so ? Please correct the flaw of my reasoning and thinking. I am very open to criticism and willing to correct myself.
Mirch bhai,
My rationale is only for the believes, for a non-believer the concept of shirk does not even exist.
Brother psyah has already explained it nicely, I will only add a few words though a lot can be said about it.
We, as Muslims, can not and will not accept any philosophy that accepts or denies Allah exclusive of its characteristics because Allah is acknowledged by us in the manifestation of his characteristics and this is exactly what Quran has invited us to ponder about.
Now when an atheist denies God/s he denies Allah as an entity exclusive of its characteristics. Creation, for instance is one of the characteristics of Allah, an atheist denies Allah, yet accepts himself as an individual and attribute his creation towards an ambiguity, which is “Shirk” precisely.
