Ruling On Statements Like "What Allah Wills and You Will"

Question: What is the ruling on those who say to others "What Allah wills and you will" and "we trust in Allah and you" and "For Allah and Our country" or "For Allah and the People" (i.e., similar to what people say in the West "For God and Country" and similar statements known to be uttered in the West and by the nationalists?

Answer:  That a man utters to others such speech is shirk in the sharee'ah. It is shirk by proclamation; it is a play on words and  by this declaring that the will of the slave is on the same level as the will of Ar Rabb, Glorified and Exalted is He, and the reasoning  (here) is to cause a merger between the two wills.  Examples of this type of speech is found with some from the general public and the likes of those who claim to possess knowledge...these types of proclamations of shirk necessitate they be refrained from and repentance sought by those who have uttered them and this is from having good manners with Allah blessed and exalted is He (above what is falsely ascribed to Him).
