The Poets
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[26:213]
Hence, [O man,] do not invoke any other deity side by side with God, lest thou find thyself among those who are made to suffer [on Judgment Day].

* v.213 : The conjunctive particle fa at the beginning of this sentence (rendered here as “hence”) evidently connects with verse 208 above. As shown in note 94 below, the whole of the present passage is addressed to man in general.
