Which of the following is not a form of shirk according to the Quran?
Idolators
Monotheism
Polytheism
Atheism
Correct answer is B
Monotheism, the belief in one God, is not a form of shirk according to the Quran. Shirk, in Islam, is the sin of practicing idolatry or polytheism, i.e., the deification or worship of anyone or anything other than the singular God. Therefore, Trinity (belief in Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three persons in one God), Polytheism (belief in many gods), and Atheism (disbelief in the existence of God or gods) can be considered forms of shirk.
