The biggest sin that caused the jinn and demons to settle in our bodies: What is "shirk"?
What is Shirk? : Shirk is to associate someone other than Allah in those aspects which are unique to Allah and His exclusive right. Shirk is to worship created beings like Allah is worshipped, to venerate created beings like Allah must be venerated, and to assign a portion of His divinity to someone else.
Severity of Shirk
: There is no issue upon which Islam is so strict as the one of tawheed (monotheism). Therefore, shirk is considered the greatest violation with which the Lord of the heavens and the earth is defied.

The severity of shirk can be summarized in the following points:
1- Shirk makes the Creator like His creation, in that matters that are exclusive to Allah are associated with others who have no right to it. Therefore, Allah declares shirk to be the greatest wrong, “Indeed to ascribe partners (unto Him) is a tremendous wrong.” (Quran 31:13)
2- Allah has declared that He will not forgive the sin of shirk unless the person repents from it,
“Surely Allah forgives not that a partner should be set up with Him, and forgives all besides that to whom He pleases.” (Quran 4:48)
3- Allah has forbidden Paradise to those who do not repent from committing shirk, condemning
him to Hell for eternity, “Surely whoever associates (others) with Allah, Allah has forbidden to him Paradise and his abode is the Fire.” (Quran 5:72)
4- Shirk is the deadliest of all major sins. All the good works a person may have done are lost, become worthless, and are rendered vain
if a person dies unrepentant of shirk, “And certainly, it has been revealed to you and to those before you: if you should associate (anything) with Allah, your work would surely become worthless, and you would surely be among the losers.” (Quran 39:65)
