I've been through this more than I can count. Please assure me:
Islamic monotheism:
Worshipping only Allah .
Shirk that turns one a disbeliever:
Worshipping anyone/anything someone/something besides Allah. Basically if one disobeys Allah when He commanded to worship Him alone, that one is out of the fold of Islam.
I need Allah.
And Allah knows best.
Meaning of Shirk according to The Qur'an
" Worshipping anyone or anything besides Allah " or " distributing anything exclusive to Allah, to anyone or anything else "
Meaning of Tawheed according to The Qur'an Worshipping none but Allah. Affirming whatever is exclusive to Him, Him alone.

In fact, a pagan does not believe LESS than a monotheist Jew or Muslim. By worshipping other gods than the singular God, a pagan believes MORE than a Jew-or-Muslim. The error of the pagan is not his belief, but his lack of disbelief.
Again, a monotheist is not typified by what he believes, because a pagan also believes everything that he believes. A monotheist is typified by what he does NOT believe. It indeed means that a belief is only valuable if you also staunchly disbelieve.
What attracts me to monotheism, is not necessarily its beliefs, but much more its disbeliefs. I totally agree that you should avoid believing anything at all, short of becoming disloyal to the one, singular God. Hence, except for my belief in the first cause, I take pride in totally disbelieving everything. Who am I? I am best described by everything I do NOT believe, and there is a very long list of those things.

The Prophets worshipped none but Allah, and only Allah. They called to the worship of the One God - Allah. The only way to Jannah is to worship Allah alone, completely. Directing worship/worshipping anyone or anything else will make one a disbeliever.....
I see circles. Shayttaan is prob playing me. Audhu billah.
