Şirk - noun'dur.
"Şirk koşmak" ise, fiil yada verb.
Paydaşlık - stakeholdership anlamında. Bunu Arapça kökeni ile değil Türkçe'deki kullanımı ile düşünmeniz gerek.

Polytheism, çok tanrılık anlamına geldiğili gibi aynı zamanda şirk anlamına da gelir.

Çok tanrılık ne demektir: Birden fazla tanrı olduğuna inanmaktır. Bu da zaten sorunun özünde yatıyor. Şirk'ten bahsederken, biliyorsunuz ki İslamda Allah'tan başka tanrı ve tanrılara, ve ayrıca Hristiyanlıktaki 'trinity'den bahsediliyor. Baba, oğul ve kutsal ruh. Bunlar Hristiyanlıkta eşittir. Biri birinden üstün değildir. Eğer baba Allah ise, demekki diğer ikisi eş değer olup, şirk sayılıyor. Ama bu aynı zamanda diğer Allah'tan başka tanrıların var olduğuna inanmaktanda geçiyor, çünkü Arap toplumu çok tanrılı bir toplumdu.

Kelimenin geldiği context'i anlamakta fayda olduğuna inanıyorum.

Example sentence(s):
  • To attribute a partner to God is a sin in Islam.

disagree  Dr. Nazim Gumus: Arapçada şerik = ortak; şirket = ortaklık; oysa polytheism = çok tanrılılık karşılığıdır; hani İngilizceden bize geçme bir genel kavram var: paydaşlık! En hafifiyle paydaşlık diyebilirseniz, daha anlamlı bir karşılık olurdu...

live in a state of duality


Explanation:
Şirk İngilizce 'duality'dir.

İslam İhlas suresinde tek, som (samed) bir yapıdan ve bu yapının var ettiği başka bir yapı olmadığı ve kendisini de var eden bir yapının olmayışından bahseder. 'Zerre küllün aynasıdır' hadisi de tekilliği ve holografik gerçekliği anlatır. Bu tekliğin (unity, oneness) dışında varlık kabul etmek, gökte tanrı kabulu ve dahi kendine varlık vermek şirki doğurur.

114. “...Certainly, if you live in a state of duality (shirq), all your doings would surely become worthless and you would surely become among the losers...” (Quran 39:65)
