Those Who Set The Ranks - 37:168
Had there been with us a warning from those who were before us
In the context of verses 167, 168, ...170; the polytheists of Mecca, to whom no warner came for a long time, and as a result they became corrupt and took the prophets Jesus and Uzeir, the religious leaders and angels from the heavens as gods besides Allah:
The Women/4:117
They serve goddesses apart from Him. In fact, they serve none but the stubborn Satan.
The Repentance/9:30
"The Jews said: "Uzeyr is the son of Allah". And the Christians said: "Christ is the son of Allah". This is the word of their mouths. They imitate the words of those who disbelieved before. Allah will condemn them. How are they being converted?"
The Repentance/9:31
They took the scribes and the religious leaders and the Messiah, the son of Mary, as gods apart from God. But they were commanded to serve only one God. There is no god but Him. And He is Most High from those whom they associate as partners.

Are the males yours and the females His?
The Star/53:22
What an unfair division!
The Star/53:23
They are nothing but names that you and your fathers called them, and Allah has not sent down for them any proof. They follow only their delusions and personal desires, while a guidance has come to them from their Lord.
The Table Spread/5:19
"People of the Book! Our apostle has come to you after a period of gap between the apostles, and he is telling you the truth so that you may not say: "There has not come to us a bearer of glad tidings and a warner". Behold, a bearer of glad tidings and a warner has come to you. Allah is the Almighty."
The Cattle/6:155
And this is a blessed Book which We have sent down. So you should follow it and act righteously so that mercy may be shown to you.
The Cattle/6:156
"So do not say, "Two groups before us were given the Book, but we were ignorant of their teachings"."
The Stories/28:46
Nor were you on the slope of Tur when We called out (to Moses). But (We inform you) as a mercy from your Lord that you may warn a people to whom no warner came before you, that they may take heed.
Yaseen/36:5
This is a revelation sent down by the Most High and Most Merciful.

It is permissible for you to seek the favor of your Lord (by trading in the Hajj region). When you leave Arafat, remember Allah in the Holy Place. Remember Him because He has guided you; before that you were astray.
The Congregation - Friday/62:2
He it is Who has sent a Messenger from among the Ummah, one of their own, who recites to them His verses, purifies them and teaches them the Book and wisdom. Before that they were in manifest error.
