You do not worship, apart from Him, that is, other than Him, anything but [mere] names that you have named, that you have named for idols, you and your fathers. Allahu ta’ālā has not revealed any warrant, any definitive argument or proof, regarding them, regarding worship of them. Judgement, decree, belongs only to Allahu ta’ālā, alone. He has commanded that you worship none but Him. That, affirmation of [Allah’s] Oneness, is the upright, the straight, religion, but most people - and these are the disbelievers - do not know, the punishment in which they shall end up, and so they ascribe partners [to Allahu ta’ālā].
