213فَلا تَدعُ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلٰهًا آخَرَ فَتَكونَ مِنَ المُعَذَّبينَMuhammad AsadHence, [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].1The 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 presen passage is addressed to man in general.
