Fatwa #10544 October 2000Pakistan

Can you please explain to me what Shirk is in detail, with its many forms ?

Answer

Shirk literally means partnership. In Shari'ah, it refers to ascribing
partners with Allah in worship. Many disbelievers at the time of Rasulullah
(Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) believed in Allah Ta'ala but also worshipped
idols. Almighty Allah says, 'Verily Allah will not forgive ascribing
partners with Him and He will forgive all sins besides Shirk'.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
