Allah, exalted is His praise, says to His Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ: فَلَا تَدْعُ — do not call upon, O Muḥammad, مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ — that is to say: do not worship alongside Him any deity other than Him, فَتَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُعَذَّبِينَ — otherwise a punishment will descend upon you just as it descended upon those who transgressed Our command and worshipped others than Us.
