Erasing the Accusation of Shirk

002.022 Who hath appointed the earth a resting-place for you, and the sky a
canopy; and causeth water to pour down from the sky, thereby producing
fruits as food for you. And do not set up rivals to Allah when ye know
(better).
002.165 Yet of mankind are some who take unto themselves (objects of
worship which they set as) rivals to Allah, loving them with a love like (that
which is the due) of Allah (only) - those who believe are stauncher in their
love for Allah - Oh, that those who do evil had but known, (on the day) when
they behold the doom, that power belongeth wholly to Allah, and that Allah
is severe in punishment!
014.030 And they set up rivals to Allah that they may mislead (men) from
His way. Say: Enjoy life (while ye may) for lo! your journey's end will be the
Fire.
034.033 Those who were despised say unto those who were proud: Nay but
(it was your) scheming night and day, when ye commanded us to disbelieve
in Allah and set up rivals unto Him. And they are filled with remorse when
they behold the doom; and We place carcans on the necks of those who
disbelieved. Are they requited aught save what they used to do ?
039.008 And when some hurt toucheth man, he crieth unto his Lord, turning
unto Him (repentant). Then, when He granteth him a boon from Him he
forgetteth that for which he cried unto Him before, and setteth up rivals to
Allah that he may beguile (men) from his way. Say (O Muhammad, unto
such an one): Take pleasure in thy disbelief a while. Lo! thou art of the
owners of the Fire.
041.009 Say (O Muhammad, unto the idolaters): Disbelieve ye verily in Him
Who created the earth in two Days, and ascribe ye unto Him rivals ? He
(and none else) is the Lord of the Worlds.
These verses prove that the polytheists of Makkah used to believe in idols as
rivals against Allah Azawajal.
