Those that they worship (i.e. they prepare sculptures and images of angels, jinn, the Prophets ‘Isa [Jesus], Uzair [Ezra] and others and worship them) look for mediation to their Lord (themselves) as to who among them is most intimate (in the Presence of Allah). And (they (themselves) hope for His mercy and fear His torment. (Now say yourselves how they can be gods. They are prostrating themselves before the True God.) Indeed the torment of your Lord is a thing to fear.
