Call on No Other God
فَلَا تَدۡعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُعَذَّبِينَ ٢١٣
Therefor invoke not with Allah another god, lest thou be one of the doomed.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Do not invoke with Allah another deity, lest you be among the punished.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, since this is the truth and the Qur’an came with the Trustworthy Spirit, the command is a warning to all.
Reflect
Direct your prayers to Allah alone.
