Qur'an 72:18 Al-Jinn
وَأَنَّ ٱلْمَسَٰجِدَ لِلَّهِ فَلَا تَدْعُوا۟ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ أَحَدًۭا
And [He revealed] that the masjids are for Allah, so do not invoke with Allah anyone.

What it says
Masjid is the place where the forehead goes down, and the plural is not confined to buildings. Ownership is stated first and the prohibition follows from it: ground that belongs to one owner is not ground on which to address two. The verb is duʿāʾ, calling on someone, which is what a person does at the moment he is lowest.
