[quote]Shirk or polytheism is to assosciate partners with Allah in His Divinity. Worshipping idols is a form of polytheism, where people might have stone dieties who they pray to and ask for things. For e.g. they ask a statue they worship for rain, for good crops, etc. Sometimes they believe that they cannot directly ask God All Mighty because He is so Supreme, so they have to go through these intermediaries and false gods that they create for this purpose. An e.g. of that would be Muslims going to holy sites and worshipping at graves, asking dead saints for wishes, cures, etc. and assigning those dead saints or dead prophets a Divine status. Another kind of shirk might be giving society a Divine status, for e.g. thinking what others might think of your actions, trying to please other people. Another form could be worshipping money. There are many forms of shirk, some are easy to discern, some not so easy but easy to fall into.[/quote]
