Who is Allah’s partner?

. . . How can I (or anyone) become a mushrik (idolater)? How can I bind partners with Allah? In order for me to bind partners, there must be someone equal to Allah. So if I bind partners with anything less in power and glory and might, I won’t be binding partners with Allah, I’ll be worshipping a subsidiary like they do Muhammad.

So when they make a statement ashadu an laa ilaaha ila Allah wahdahu laa shariyka lahu, you’re making a statement that I stand witness to this one Allah, not the other ones. He is alone.
