Shirk is of two Types: Major
Shirk and Minor Shirk
Major Shirk: This
involves directing any
act of worship to other than
Allah. Therefore, directing
words or deeds that Allah
loves to Him alone testifies
to monotheism and true
faith, while directing them to
other than Allah constitutes
an act of unbelief and shirk.
Examples of this type
of shirk include asking
someone other than Allah
