How it is used
شريك is the everyday, neutral word for a partner or associate — in business, marriage, or any joint undertaking. The same root also produces شِرْك, the Islamic term for attributing partners to God, so in religious contexts the root carries much heavier theological weight than شريك itself does.
Words from the same root
- شِرْكَةٌ partnership, a joint share

- مُشْرِكٌ polytheist, one who associates partners with God
