And they serve [idols] other than God which neither harm them nor benefit them, and they say, "These are our intercessors with God." Say, "Do you inform God of something He does not know in the heavens or on the earth?" He is Exalted and high above what they associate [with Him]. *_{Psalms 97:9}* 10:19 And* mankind was nothing but one community [united in religion], but [then] they differed. And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, it would have been judged between them [immediately] concerning those [matters] in which they differed.
