Have these polytheists taken besides Allah gods who benefit, harm, give life, and cause death? Say-O Messenger-to them: "Bring what you have of proof for what you have taken as gods; for there is not in the Qur'an which I have brought, nor in the previous books, an evidence for what you have gone toward, and they only associated partners out of ignorance and imitation, so they are ones turning away from the truth, deniers of it."
