Shirk-e Robubi of Mushrikan in the Revelation Age in the Mirror of Comparative Exegesis Relying on Surah Yunus (Verse 31) Ali Khorasani [1] (Received: 12/08/2017; Accepted: 26/12/2017) Abstract The Wahhabis and their predecessors make a reference to a number of verses in the Noble Quran such as Surah Yunus (Verse 31) to emphasize that Mushrikan in early Islam believed in Tawhid (monotheism) in Robubiah (lordship) and the only reason for their idolatry is Shirk in worship and asking idols to intercede with God. By spreading the concept of worship and claiming Tawhid-e Robubi for Mushrikan in the revelation age, Wahhabis concluded that Muslims who ask God’s Companions for intersession, are trapped in polytheism and Shirk-e ‘Ebadi as Mushrikan in early Islam were. With reference to many verses in the Quran such as “And yet they have taken gods, other than Allah, so that they might helped” (Surah Yunus: Verse 74) and also numerous historical reports which represent Mushrikan seeking assistance from idols, Sunni and Shi’ite commentators have emphasized on Shirk-e Robubi of Mushrikan living in revelation age. Shi’ite and Sunni commentators have responded with reference to Surah Yunus (Verse 31). Some have regarded the confession of Mushrikan in the lordship of God as fake and unrealistic. Some have cited that the confession in this verse is conditioned to an omitted condition that is fairness and contemplation. Some commentators argue that this confession is out of desperation and some others stated: Although Mushrikan confessed in God’s lordship, they did not believe in Tawhid in Robubiah and lordship of the Lord of Lords.
