وَسۡـَٔلۡ مَنۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ مِن رُّسُلِنَآ أَجَعَلۡنَا مِن دُونِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ءَالِهَةٗ يُعۡبَدُونَ ٤٥

And ask those We sent before you of Our messengers; have We made besides the Most Merciful deities to be worshipped?
Brief commentary
O Messenger! Ask those messengers I sent before you: “Did Allah make deities that were to be worshipped instead of the Merciful?”
