Here is types of shirk found in the other two part of tawheed: Asma was-Sifat 1. Shirk by humanization means to give God human and animal aspects. This is idolatry. For example, such as what the Christians did by saying Jesus, a human being, is God and has Godly gifts. Christians these days often depict God in human form in their religious artwork and Churches. Many other religions are involved in idolatry, such as Buddhists, Hindus, Shintos etc. 2. Shirk by deification occurs when creation claims to have attributes of Allah or are given His names. For example, at the time of the Prophet (saw) there was a man claiming to be a Prophet who took the name Rahman, which can only be assigned to Allah. There is a Shi’a sect, called Nusayriyah, from Syria who claim Ali ibn Abi Talib was a manifestation of Allah. The Ismai’ilis also assign the same attributes to their leader, Aga Khan. Another example is al-Hallaj from the Sufi sects claim they have become so close to God that they now exist as manifestations of God amongst His creations. Al-‘Ibadah 1. Ash-Shirk al-Akbar (Major Shirk) occurs when any form of worship is directed to other than Allah. The most clear and obvious example of this is idolatry. Taghut means to worship anything with or instead of Allah. Other examples include loving Allah like you love the creation, and loving a creation more than he loves Allah and His Messenger. Loving money or following ones desires can become ones God. All man-made systems invite the creation to worship the created and his by-products. Muslims fall in to the trap of Major Shirk by accepting prayers to saints/people and the Prophet (saw) as legitimate, or accepting systems of kufr over Islam. 2. Ash-Shirk al-Asghar (Minor Shirk) is ar-Riya’. Riya’ is to strive in your deen to show how pious you are to the people around you. Your intention is for them rather than for Allah (swt).
