Surah An-Nisa (4:48 )"Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills. And he who associates others with Allah has certainly fabricated a tremendous sin."(Context: Shirk/idolatry is the gravest sin, leading to unforgivable punishment unless repented.)Surah An-Nisa (4:116) "Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills. And he who associates others with Allah has certainly gone far astray."(Similar warning: Eternal misguidance and Hell for persistent idolaters.) Surah At-Tawbah (9:5) "And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them [go] on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful."(Context: Directed at treaty-breaking polytheists in historical war; repentance offers escape from earthly punishment.) Surah At-Tawbah (9:17) _ "It is not for the polytheists to maintain the mosques of Allah [while] they witness against themselves with disbelief. [For] those, their deeds have become worthless, and in the Fire they will abide eternally."(Idolaters barred from sacred sites; their worship nullified, leading to eternal Hell.)Surah At-Tawbah (9:28) _ "O you who have believed, indeed the polytheists are unclean, so let them not approach al-Masjid al-Haram after this, their [final] year. And if you fear privation, Allah will enrich you from His bounty if He wills. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Wise."(Spiritual impurity of polytheists; implies ongoing disgrace and exclusion.) Surah At-Tawbah (9:33) _ "It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to manifest it over all religion, although they who associate others with Allah dislike it."(Islam prevails over polytheism; disbelievers/polytheists face ultimate defeat and dislike their fate.) Surah Al-Bayyinah (98:6) "Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the worst of creatures."(Clear end: Polytheists as the lowest beings, doomed to eternal Hellfire.) Surah Al-Anbiya (21:98)" Indeed, you [disbelievers] and what you worship other than Allah are the firewood of Hell. You will be coming to [enter] it."(Idols and their worshippers fuel Hell; direct imagery of fiery end.)Surah Yunus (10:28)" _ And the Day We will resurrect them all, [We will say], 'Sit, you and your associates.' Then We will separate them, and their associates will say, 'You would not [harm] us at all. Indeed, Allah is, between us, a barrier.'"(On Judgment Day, idols disown worshippers; separation leads to isolation in punishment.) Surah Al-Ankabut (29:17) "You only worship, besides Allah, idols from whom you neither benefit nor harm, whereas Allah is the Hearing, the Knowing."(Followed by implied end: False worship leads to loss; full context warns of Hell for ignoring the true Lord.) Surah Al-Baqarah (2:257)
