Re: Presence of Shirk among sunni and shia muslims [merged]
^People of Makkah also did not beleive that Idols have ultimate power. They beleived that they bring them closer to God.
As i said before all religions beleive that God is ultimate power. And idols, ancestors etc have been gievn powers by God. So in that case they shud not been said to do shirk.
