Those who profess to have Faith in Allah while their actions reeking of polytheism (Shirk)

It means that the majority of people who outwardly profess to have faith in Allah are in fact entangled in the quagmire of polytheism (Shirk). If someone questions them as to why they are involved in Shirk while evincing faith in Allah, they answer by saying that we are not committing an act of polytheism (Shirk); rather, we cherish a tremendous amount of love for the prophets and saints, and we are none but their true devotees.

Had we considered them on an equal status with Allah, it would have been 'an act of Shirk', but we merely consider them the slaves and creatures of Allah, Who had vested in them an authority and given them the capability to the effect that they manipulate the matters concerning this world by the Will of Allah. Therefore, calling upon them for help is calling upon Allah for His Help.

These people are dear ones to Allah and therefore are free to do whatever they like. These are our advocates who will intercede with Allah on our behalf. Meeting them makes one meet his Cherisher, and calling upon them makes us near to Allah. The more we recognize their greatness and pay our respect to them, the more we shall be drawn towards Allah.

In addition to all this, they make a lot of other absurd and baseless statements.
