(Heresy

Ahmed
recited that [Abi Mosa Al Ash'ary] said that the Prophet, Peace and
Blessings be upon him, gave a speech one day and said: "O People!
Beware that kind of polytheism, for it is unnoticed as the ants crawls."…

praising of Allah, we may do some actions without know or feel that we enter
into polytheism. Though, that is why the honoured Prophet (pbuh) taught us
to pray Allah daily saying: "O Allah! I seek refuge in You that I
become a polytheist while I know that, and I ask Your forgiveness for I do
that while I do not know".

the Prophet, Peace and Blessings be upon him, says: "Before you, the
people of the scripture were divided into 72 groups. This nation will be
divided into (73)……… (72) of which are doomed to Hellfire and only one
will be in paradise, that is the gathering"… Another version of
that [Hadith] adds the following: "Those who do as me and my
Companions do now"… The Prophet also says
