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'.
