Most of the world commits shirk in the form of hindus and Christians which is a sin that can never be forgiven. Then there's growing numbers of atheists, if I remember right you're a shia Muslim so most Muslims don't believe the exact same thing as you do.
If there is a god and he wants the world to believe the exact same things you do then surely this god has not only failed to do this but the end result is most of humanity worshiping the exact thing he told humanity not to worship.
Associating with God is considered when you knowingly put with God others. Whether most Christians know better or not, I do not know, but we have to keep this in mind. It's only a sin that won't be forgiven if you know better.
Say there is no revelation. Would I believe God wants people to follow the truth anyways? Yes I would. Would I believe he wants people to ascend to him, receive wisdom, and strive for justice. Yes I would. The world would still be engulfed in falsehood, injustice still there, and people not striving to get close to God would still happen, and false religions still there. But with Islam, there is help from God, and ultimate promise of victory of truth vs falsehood, of good against evil. And with Islam, the best people did do their best to guide humanity through out the ages. And with Islam, guidance is more easily accessible and reminders take place, and there is book giving insights to humanity. There is judgement that guides through the differences, giving light and sight to those seeking the path to God.
Where does it say in the quran that shirk is only a sin that won't be forgiven if people know better?
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
