The different forms of shirk are identified as follows:
Category 1: Major Shirk
- Shirk by Association. The worship of other deities other than God
- Shirk by Negation. The disbelief in God.
- Shirk by Humanization. Where God is given the form and nature of humans, animals or objects.
- Shirk by Deification. To give a person, animal or object God's attributes and names.
- Shirk by Worship. Where acts of worship are directed to parties other than God.
Category 2: Minor Shirk
- Shirk in Worldly Possessions. Valuing wealth and possessions over God's grace to man.
- Secret Shirk. Showing off to others in one's worship of God.
- Shirk in Luck. Belief in luck rather than God's grace.
There are probably other forms of Shirk. Looking forward to hearing from fellow Shirk Spotters!
