there is no other deity but God, and that He alone must be obeyed.
The fact that there is no other deity than God is stressed in various
Qur'anic verses, such as:

This is the true account: there is no other deity

least power of reasoning can appreciate the delicacy behind the
term. The conditions of those who perceive this as a contradiction
or defiance present a vivid picture of the level of their intelligence
and understanding and the aptitude they display.

ulterior motives, can never comprehend the Qur'an nor discover
its mysteries and finer points. This is also true of the examples given
in the Qur'an which offer guidance and instructions. One Qur'anic
verse describes how sceptics are unable to grasp the examples in
