Had God been not graceful to you and showered you with His Mercy, some of these people would have led you away from guidance. But they only ruin themselves. They can do no harm to you; God has revealed the Book to you, grown you in wisdom, and taught you matters that you did not know [or appreciate] …

God does not forgive any assignment of divinity other than to Him, and He forgives any lesser sins as He pleases. Whoever sets up a partner with God has indeed stepped far away from the right path.
