The Islamic texts have censured Shirk and warned against it in various ways. They have similarly demonstrated the danger and grave consequences that the polytheists incur in this life and in the Hereafter.
Allah called Shirk the 'unforgivable sin', unless the polytheist repents before his death. He says:
Indeed, Allah forgiveness not associating partners with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom he wills. [Quran (4):48]
Allah also described it as the worst of all injustices. He says:
Shirk is indeed, a gross injustice [Quran (31):13]
Also, Allah has described Shirk as capable one's good deeds. He says,
And surely, It has been revealed to you and to those before you [that] if you should associate [anything with Allah] your deed would surely become worthless, and you would surely be among the losers. [Quran (39):65]
He also described it as implying disrespect for the Lord of all beings, and claiming an equal for Him, Allah says:
They will say while they dispute therein, ''By Allah we were indeed in manifest error. When we equated you [false gods] with the Lords of all beings''. [Quran (26):96-98]
Furthermore, Allah declared that any one who dies as a polytheist will be permanent inhabitant of the Hellfire. He says,
Indeed, he who associate others with Allah - Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and the Fire will be his abode, And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers. [Quran (5):72]
Proofs of various kinds in this respect are many in the Glorious Quran.
