Shirk - is any Muslim or non Muslim ascription of partners to God Almighty [Allah]. The same way, the worship of the graves of saints and pious men, is a type of shirk.
What is meant by worshiping them is to invoke them, or make offerings to them, or vow to them, and the like.
Dear reader, belief in Allah means to believe that only Allah has the possession of everything and can dispose of everything and if any person thinks that an unseen or dead pious man or a saint or a prophet besides Allah can do anything for him, he is really associating partners unto Allah.
The Qur'an says:
"They worship besides Allah that which neither hurts them nor profits them and they say: These are our intercessors with Allah. Say: Would you inform Allah of (something) that He does not know in the Earth? Praised be He and High Exalted above all that you ascribe (unto Him)"
[Surah, Yunus, 10:18]
