Quran 26:213 — The Poets (Al-Shu`ara')
فَلا تَدعُ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلٰهًا ءاخَرَ فَتَكونَ مِنَ المُعَذَّبينَ
Therefore, do not idolize beside GOD any other god, lest you incur the retribution.
[26:212] For they are prevented from hearing.
[26:214] You shall preach to the people who are closest to you.
