Quran, Al-Imran, verse 28

(Let not believers take disbelievers as allies rather than believers. And whoever [of you] does that has nothing with Allah , except when taking precaution against them in prudence. And Allah warns you of Himself, and to Allah is the [final] destination)

Al-Imran is a Medinan (Mediniyah) surah.

Monotheism, eventually, emerged in the ancient world as a political and intellectual necessity.

Marduk the ancient god of Babylon, -the epic of creation-, was raised above the great gods of the time, Anu and Enlil, to the one true god by the king Hammurabi during the early second millenium BCE, Hammurabi of course is famous for producing one of the earliest ancient legal codes in history.

Meanwhile in Egypt, there was another god that approached a universalistic monotheism state, more closer than Marduk in mesopotamia.

Aten, the Sun-disc god of egypt, was brought to dominance and total power over Ancient egypt during the 14th century BCE
