I was reading up on shirk and came across this.
http://from.the.depths.of.darkness.into.light.over-blog.com/article-answer-on-the-ambiguity-about-the-obedience-and-following-in-shirk-122974582.html
The definition of TAGHUT in the Shariah is ‘anyone who exceeds the proper limits by ascribing to himself any of the rights of Allah (Subhana wa ta‘ala) and makes himself a partner with Allah (Subhana wa ta‘ala)’
>Obedience to the legislation of the Taghut, because it’s (law) from the Taghut. This is shirk in obedience to the Taghut, because this obedience recognizes the right of the legislation and the duty to submit to it.
>
>"For example, if the law of the Taghut obligates us to stop for a red light and we obey by obedience to the Taghut, than we commit shirk in obedience.
But if we obey for another reason, for example to avoid an accident, we won’t commit shirk, nor a sin."
Can someone explain this to me.
