Re: Thread splitted from ‘Muslim anymore’ to Example of Shirk

@Khalil KhaaN FaaKhta

anyone who commits any a sin [including shirk], before accepting Islam, is forgiven but IF he/she engages in shirk again, after accepting Islam, he/she will NOT be forgiven until he/she repents and asks for Allah’s forgiveness and promises Him that he/she will never engage in shirk again…the door of repentance is open until the time of his/her death. having said that, since no one knows exactly when he/she will die, one must repent and ask for Allah’s forgiveness as soon as possible and, inshaa Allah, HE will forgive.

accepting Islam OR performing Hajj [if his/her Hajj is accepted by Allah] makes a person innocent like a baby.

I think what constitutes shirk is the question.
This becomes important because ibn Wahhab declared war on Ottomans (and other Muslims) calling them mushrik and therefore non-Muslims who could be killed and enslaved unless they accepted his own definition of shirk.
