Parable of those who associate partners with God
Imagine you have a favorite toy that you love to play with every day. One day, you saw your friend playing with a similar toy and you wanted to share your love for your toy with your friend. Instead of just letting your friend play with your toy for a little while, you decided to give your friend your entire toy and declare that your friend now owns the toy as well.
This is similar to what some people do when they associate partners with God. In this case, God is like your favorite toy and people decide to share God's love with others by creating and worshiping other gods or idols. This goes against what God teaches and believes in, which is that there is only one God who deserves all the love and worship.
It's like having multiple favorite toys at the same time. You can't equally love and play with them all the time without selecting just one favorite. Similarly, people who associate partners with God cannot fully devote themselves to God, and thus miss out on truly experiencing God's love and grace.
So, just as you should appreciate and take care of your favorite toy, it is important to worship and love only one God who deserves all our devotion and attention.
