Because he is a polytheist and it is admissible to arrogate the life, wealth and woman of every polytheist. The Holy Quran suggests: {قُل لِّلَّهِ الشَّفَاعَةُ جَمِيعًا لَّهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ} "Say 'All intercession rests with Allah.

To Him belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; then you will be brought back to Him" [^5] Moreover, when the Arab polytheists were denounced for idol-worship, they said: {...مَا نَعْبُدُهُمْ إِلَّا لِيُقَرِّبُونَا إِلَى اللَّهِ زُلْفَى...} "We only worship them so that they may bring us near to Allah" [^6] And the Holy Prophet (S) never accepted this claim from them. Thus they worshipped idols not because they were the Creator or benefactors, but as intercessors only.

Thus, anyone who considered anything other than God as the intercessor was just like the Arab polytheists and his blood and wealth was admissible!! This was a brief account of their statements on the issue of Monotheism and polytheism.

Criticism And Analysis In reality the main source of Wahhabism in their different books on monotheism and polytheism is just the few verses mentioned above which they refer to everywhere, and try to evade the other Quranic Verses easily, and consider them as unseen, thus being completely selective towards the Quran.

Moreover, in order to disarm the opposing scholars, who unveil their errors through other Quranic Verses, they claim that all the Verses that others refer to in denying this interpretation of monotheism and polytheism, are all ambiguous verses[^7]! In a precise analysis, the incorrect and faulty interpretation of "Six Quranic terms" has caused him to regard all Muslims except the followers of his beliefs as polytheists.

Why are they not ready to sit with the scholars of Al-Azhar, Damascus, Qom and Najaf for logical discussions to elucidate the truth?

Why are they not ready to initiate a friendly debate in accordance with the commands of the holy Quran: {...فَبَشِّرْ عِبَادِ\* الَّذِينَ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقَوْلَ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ أَحْسَنَهُ...} "So give good news to my servants - who listen to the word [of Allah] and follow the best [sense] of it." [^8] If they did so, all the pure Muslim blood would not be shed nor their possessions plundered; the enemies couldn’t dominate them and the Zionist minority couldn’t play about with their destiny.

It is not known what sort of answer they have prepared to put forward before God on the Day of Judgment?
