[87] In the previous verses, the establishment of proof against the polytheists is completed by their admission of three things: On one hand, they admit that Allah Almighty is the owner of everything and all authority and power rests in His hands. This means that Allah is also the owner of their deities, and those deities are just as owned as the other things and creatures of the universe, and a owned being can never share in the authority of the owner. This is the truth that We have informed them of, and which they themselves admit. As for their verbal claims that their deities also possess some authority, even on the basis of their own admission, they are proven to be liars.
