How to use "Shirk" in context?
Shirk is a term that is used commonly in Islam to denote the act of rejecting or neglecting those duties that God has ordered to be undertaken. When a Muslim shirks their duties, they are placing themselves at a disadvantage in front of God and enter into a state of disobedience. Upon shirking one's duties, there are a number of consequences that can be drawn, including Allah's Anger and Hell fire. It is therefore important for Muslims to be aware of the act of shirk and understand the consequences that come with it.
