110. Say (Muhammad): "I am only a mortal man like you51; it has been revealed to me that your God is only One God (Allāh). So whoever hopes to meet his Lord, should do righteous deeds, and not associate anyone in the worship of his Lord 'Allāh'52.

51. They are to realize that Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, the Noble Messengers of God (ﷺ) are no more than a mere humans like any other who knows nothing of the knowledge of the Unseen except what Allāh revealed to them. The most prominent piece of knowledge of what is revealed to them, is that Allāh 'God' is One and Only. So that they should associate none with Him in worship as partners.
52. Muhammad, God's last and final Messenger reported that Allāh said: “I am most independent and free from needing partners. Whoever performs a good deed while associating partners with Me, I will leave him and his setting up of associates to Me.”
A companion of the Prophet said: Muhammad, the Messenger of God (ﷺ) came out to us when we were discussing the antichrist and said: ‘Shall I not tell you of that which I fear more for you than the antichrist?’ We said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Hidden polytheism, when a man stands to pray and makes it look good because he sees a man looking at him.’”
