Believers who remember that truth emphasized by the Prophet
(saas) know, without having to experience such difficulties, that only
Allah can ever help them, and that only He has the power to lift their
troubles and burdens. In the Qur'an, Allah says:

The Prophet (saas) has warned all Muslims against idolatry in the
hadiths:
"The most severe sin is to associate partners with Allah (known
as shirk), while He has created you." 37
Elsewhere, the Prophet (saas) stated that not associating others
with Allah is both the proof as well as the necessary condition of faith:
"Whoever meets Allah, without associating partners with Him,
will enter Paradise." 38
He also stressed what a great hidden danger idolatry is:
"Should I not inform you of that which I fear for you even more
than the dangers of Dajjal? It is the hidden idolatry: A person
stands to pray and he beautifies his prayer because he sees the
people looking at him." 39
"Idolatry is more hidden in my Ummah than the creeping of
ants across a great smooth stone on a black night..." 40
