The concept of Shirk means worshiping other gods besides Allah, the One only God
weather these gods were humans, things, or any other manifestations.
43 Hast thou seen him who chooseth for his god his own lust ? Wouldst thou then be guardian over him ?
44 Or deemest thou that most of them hear or understand ? They are but as the cattle - nay, but they are farther astray ?
[The Meaning of the Glorious Qur'ân, by M.M. Pickthall]
So clearly you can notice that this concept is applicable to Christianity and Judaism, the Monotheistic religions

No, That's the only name for the religion of Islam.
Sunni Islam represent 80% of Muslims, Shia Islam represent 15% of Muslims and Sufi Islam represent 1% of Muslims. They are the three principals. Many Muslims do not consider Sufi Muslims as Muslims.
Shirk is the worst sin in Islam because that means that the person is no longer a Muslim they no longer believe in what Muslims believe. More specifically shirk is to worship anything other than The God. That is to place God The One and Only, The Master and Creator, beside something else and disrespecting His Unique Sovereignty. Those who engage in shirk (joining a partner) regard God not as Supreme Entity rather a partner among their conceived deities. That is simply against monotheism, which is the basic belief of a Muslim.
Yes, prostration is for Allah only. Because nobody except Allah deserves it. If anybody prostrate before anything except Allah, he is has done shirk, and is no more muslim.
Tawhid means belief in one God only. It is the first and foremost concept in Islam. It also means to rejection to worship anyother living or non-living things as god. Shirk is the opposite of Tawhid. We say a person committed shirk when he/she equates any other living or non-living thing to One God.
Literally, Shirk means partnership. In Islam, following acts are called shirk: 1. Attributing any Partner, Son, Parents, Off-spring or Associate whatsoever to the ONE and ONLY Almighty Allah (God). 2. Killing any innocent human (irrespective of his caste, creed, color, country, religion) 3. Even halal (otherwise declared legal/halal) animals or birds slaughtered in the name of or attributed to any idol, holy man, any Deity. 4. Worshiping anything/anyone else than Almighty Allah.
I am 14 and to me, I think that the reason that shirk is bad is because god(Allah) does not want people worshipping anything but him.Thats why it is the only sin that is unforgivable.
Major shirk is to Worship God not as the one and only one God but to worship God with having a son, or partner, or companion, or associate or with equivalence.
No. its boy name. and not only for shia Islam
Islam is monotheistic, meaning that it believes in the worship of only one god, known as Allah. This central tenet is one of the fundamental beliefs of Islam.
