The only unpardonable offence according to the Quran. It is the association of partners with Allah (i.e. polytheism), whether it is anyone or anything in the human or physical world, or the obedience of laws that contradict those revealed in the Quran.

Literally, "association," this term is commonly used to mean association of something other than God with God. For Muslims, God is Absolute, Complete, and Self-Sufficient.

Thus, paganism, or even atheism, are viewed as expressions of shirk.
the unforgiveable wrong action of worshipping something or someone other than Allah or associating something or someone as a partner with Him.
The associating of partners with God; usually translated as "polytheism" or "idolatry"
literally, "association;" in Islam, the association of any visible or finite thing with God or to place any thing, concept or entity above God. Thus, to commit "shirk" is to commit idolatry. Compare the English sense of this term when it is said that one "shirks" one's responsibility.
Shirk is the Islamic concept of the sin of polytheism specifically, but in a more general way refers to serving anything other than the One God; i.e. wealth, lust, the ego, etc. It is the vice which is opposed to the virtue of tawhid, literally "declaring [that which is] one", often translated into the English theological term "monotheism." The word is not related to the English verb "shirk" related to neglect.
