وَقَالَ الَّذ۪ينَ اَشْرَكُوا لَوْ شَٓاءَ اللّٰهُ مَا عَبَدْنَا مِنْ دُونِه۪ مِنْ شَيْءٍ نَحْنُ وَلَٓا اٰبَٓاؤُ۬نَا وَلَا حَرَّمْنَا مِنْ دُونِه۪ مِنْ شَيْءٍۜ كَذٰلِكَ فَعَلَ الَّذ۪ينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْۚ فَهَلْ عَلَى الرُّسُلِ اِلَّا الْبَلَاغُ الْمُب۪ينُ ٣٥

English Translation
35Those who associate partners with Allah, ascribing His attributes to others, say: "Had Allah so willed, neither we nor our forefathers would have served anything besides Allah, nor would we have declared anything forbidden on the word of anyone but Him." Those before them said exactly the same. Yet what duty do the messengers have other than to convey the revelation clearly?
