1) Allah the Most High says:
Those who believe and do not mix their belief with dhulm, they are those upon whom is security and they are the rightly guided. [6:82]
 
From 'Abdullaah ibn Mas'ood, who said: When this verse was revealed, some Muslims began to grieve, and said: 'Which of us does not do dhulm (oppression) to his soul?' The Messenger of Allaah said: "It is not that, verily it is shirk, have you not heard the saying of Luqmaan to his son:
Oh my Son! Do not make shirk with Allaah. Verily, shirk is a great dhulm. [31:13] [Bukhari and Muslim]
