يُشْرَكَ to associate partners
Crucially this is the PASSIVE — 'that partners be associated', not 'that he associates'. Arabic marks the passive by reshaping the vowels inside the verb (note it differs from the active 'yushrik'); the subjunctive ending comes from the 'an' before it.
وقال بعضهم فلعلهم الذين ولدوا في الإسلام، فلم يشركوا بالله شيئاً وذكروا أشياء
and some of them said: Perhaps they are those born in Islam who never associated anything with Allah – and they mentioned other things –
يُشْرِكُوا they associate
A Form IV verb 'associate partners [with God]', clipped into the jussive by 'lam' and read as a past negative — 'never ascribed partners'. The '-u' carries 'they'. It pairs with the preposition next.
