About Shirk ( شرک کے بارے میں )

Is making anyone “wali” or “peer” other than Allah is Shirk?

کیا اللہ کے علاوہ کسی کو بھی ولی یا پیر بنانا شرک ہے؟

Surah Al-An'am: 6 - Ayah: 14
Arabic
قُلۡ اَغَيۡرَ اللّٰهِ اَتَّخِذُ وَلِيًّا فَاطِرِ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ وَهُوَ يُطۡعِمُ وَلَا يُطۡعَمُ​ؕ قُلۡ اِنِّىۡۤ اُمِرۡتُ اَنۡ اَكُوۡنَ اَوَّلَ مَنۡ اَسۡلَمَ​ وَلَا تَكُوۡنَنَّ مِنَ الۡمُشۡرِكِيۡنَ‏
English
Say: 'Shall I take for my guardian anyone other than Allah - the Originator of the heavens and earth; He Who feeds and Himself is not fed?' Say: 'Surely I have been commanded to be the first among those who submit (to Allah) and not to be one of those who associate others with Allah in His divinity (even though others may do so).'
Urdu
Kaho, Allah ko chodh kar kya main kisi aur ko apna sarparast bana loon? Us khuda ko chodh kar jo zameen o aasmaan ka khaliq hai aur jo rozi deta hai rozi leta nahin hai (one who feeds but doesn’t need to be fed) ? Kaho, mujhey to yahi hukum diya gaya hai ke sabse pehle main uske aagey sar tasleem kham karoon (aur takeed ki gayi hai ke koi shirk karta hai to karey) tu bahar-haal mushrikon mein shamil na ho
Surah Ar-Ra'd: 13 - Ayah: 16
Arabic
قُلۡ مَنۡ رَّبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِؕ قُلِ اللّٰهُ​ؕ قُلۡ اَفَاتَّخَذۡتُمۡ مِّنۡ دُوۡنِهٖۤ اَوۡلِيَآءَ لَا يَمۡلِكُوۡنَ لِاَنۡفُسِهِمۡ نَفۡعًا وَّلَا ضَرًّا​ؕ قُلۡ هَلۡ يَسۡتَوِى الۡاَعۡمٰى وَالۡبَصِيۡرُ ۙ اَمۡ هَلۡ تَسۡتَوِى الظُّلُمٰتُ وَالنُّوۡرُ ۚ اَمۡ جَعَلُوۡا لِلّٰهِ شُرَكَآءَ خَلَقُوۡا كَخَلۡقِهٖ فَتَشَابَهَ الۡخَـلۡقُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ​ؕ قُلِ اللّٰهُ خَالِـقُ كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ وَّهُوَ الۡوَاحِدُ الۡقَهَّارُ‏ 
English
Ask them: "Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?" Say: "Allah." Tell them: "Have you taken beside Him as your patrons those who do not have the power to benefit or to hurt even themselves?" Say: "Can the blind and the seeing be deemed equals? Or can light and darkness be deemed equals?" If that is not so, then have those whom they associate with Allah in His Divinity ever created anything like what Allah did so that the question of creation has become dubious to them? Say: "Allah is the creator of everything. He is the One, the Irresistible."
Urdu
Insey pucho, aasman o zameen ka Rubb kaun hai? Kaho, Allah, phir insey kaho ke jab haqeeqat yeh hai to kya tumne usey chodh kar aisey maboodon ko apna kaarsaaz thehra liya jo khud apne liye bhi kisi nafa o nuksaan ka ikhtiyar nahin rakhte? Kaho, kya andha aur aankhon wala barabar hua karta hai? Kya roshni aur tareekiyan yaksan hoti hai? Aur agar aisa nahin to kya inke thehraye huey shareekon ne bhi Allah ki tarah kuch paida kiya hai ke uski wajah se inpar takhleeq(creation) ka maamla mushtaba(seemed alike) ho gaya? Kaho, har cheez ka khaliq(creator) sirf Allah hai aur woh yakta hai, sab par galib
