Ibn al-Qayyim [May Allaah have Mercy on him] said:
‘Al-Ilaah’ (i.e. God) is something that your heart turns to with love, magnifying it and consoles itself in. It respects this deity, extoling it, humble with its manners towards it, submitting, fearing, hoping and relying upon it. End Quote.
Ibn Rajab [May Allaah have Mercy on him] said:
‘Al-Ilaah’ (i.e. God) is something that you obey in its commandments and you abstain from what it prohibits. Something you give extreme status and glorification to, loving it, fearing it, hoping and relying upon it. You ask it in your supplication and you don’t avert any of these things to anything besides it - Allaah, the Glorified and the Exalted.
So whoever directs any of these sole to other than Allaah from the creation then he has committed Shirk, his sincerity towards the statement, ‘There is no God but Allaah’ becomes infected and this level of sincerity becomes more severe depending upon the degree of Shirk this person continues to commit. End Quote.
[Fath al-Majeed Sharh Kitaab at-Tawheed (Pg 25-26)]
