Root: شرك

Full Definition

مُشْرِكٌ and مُشْرِكِىٌّ , like as one says دَوٌّ and دَوِّىٌّ, and قَعْسَرٌ and قَعْسَرِىٌّ, One who attributes to God a شَرِيك [or copartner &c., or شُرَكَآء i. e. copartners &c. ]: [i. e. a believer in a duality, or a plurality, of gods:] and [in a wider sense,] a disbeliever [or misbeliever] in God. Abu-l-'Abbás explains [the pl.] مُشْرِكُونَ in the Kur xvi. 102 as meaning Those who are مشركون by their obeying the Devil; by their worshipping God and worshipping with Him the Devil.
2 [In one place, in the CK, the former word is erroneously put for مُشْتَرَكٌ, q. v., last sentence.]
