[112:2] Allah is He on Whom all depend.
[112:3] He begets not, nor is He begotten.
[112:4] And none is like Him.
Negation of Tauheed is Shirk (Polytheism).
[21:22] If there had been in them any gods except Allah, they
would both have certainly been in a state of disorder;
therefore glory be to Allah, the Lord of the dominion, above
what they attribute (to Him).
Also a hadith of Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) says about shirk that
it is the greatest of sins.
Verily! Joining others in worship with Allah is a great
zoolam(wrong) Indeed (Luqman :13)
