Imam Fatty (Shirk— The gravest sin committed by man against Allah).

The erudite Imam Fatty reminded his congregation on Friday: Iblis (la natullah 'alayh) disobeyed Allah, but he never committed shirk. (Associating partners with Allah) Yet some go further, taking men as their “lords.” Their state is worse than Iblis himself. Consider Pharaoh: though he shed innocent blood without mercy, the height of his ruin came when he arrogantly proclaimed, “I am your supreme lord.”
