The Koran (Al-Qur'an) PUBLIC SERVICES, / AND EMINENT LITERARY ATTAINMENTS, / THE TRANSLATOR. / PREFACE; lines 7396-7552 confidence: high
An unbeliever claims future riches and children; the passage denies that he has mounted to divine secrets or made a compact, says his words and chastisement will be recorded, says he will come alone, and says other gods will disavow worshippers while Satans urge infidels into sin.
Gods taken beside God as helpers are said to disavow their worship and become enemies.
