"Swearing By Other Than Allah, A form of Shirk" By Asma bint Shameem

Today's topic is about something that we do every day, something we hear everyday,
see others do everyday.....and we do not think much about it....
yet it is something VERY, VERY GRAVE.

It is when we swear or take an oath on other than Allaah.
Swearing on ANYTHING, OR ANYONE other than Allaah, is an extremely serious matter and is considered SHIRK, even if the person swearing is telling the truth.

The Prophet (pbuh) said: "Whoever swears by anything other than Allaah is guilty of kufr or shirk." (Saheeh, narrated by Ahmad, Abu Dawood, al-Tirmidhi).
