And despite these definitive proofs, a group of people takes besides Allah idols, statues, and allies making them equals to Allah the Exalted, and they give them of love, magnification, and obedience that which is not befitting except for Allah alone. And the believers are greater in love for Allah than the love of these disbelievers for Allah and their gods; because the believers made all love sincere for Allah, while those associated partners in love. And if those who wronged themselves through polytheism in the life of this world were to know, when they witness the punishment of the Hereafter, that power belongs to Allah entirely, and that Allah is severe in punishment, they would not have taken gods besides Allah to worship them instead of Him and draw near to Him through them.
