This article seeks to examine some of the attempts made by Muslims in modern times to reinterpret the concept of shirk (‘association’), applying it to changing circumstances. After a short discussion of the concept in the Qur'ān and its development before the 18th century, there is an analysis of interpretations by several major influential thinkers from Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan and Iran, spanning a period from the 18th century Wahhābī movement to the years before the Iranian Revolution. Special attention is given to the views of Muhammad b. cAbd al-Wahhāb, Muhammad cAbduh, Abū'l-Aclā al-Mawdūdī, Sayyid Qutb, cAlī Sharīcatī and Muhammad Kāmil Husain
