مَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِه۪ٓ اِلَّٓا اَسْمَٓاءً سَمَّيْتُمُوهَٓا اَنْتُمْ وَاٰبَٓاؤُ۬كُمْ مَٓا اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ بِهَا مِنْ سُلْطَانٍۜ اِنِ الْحُكْمُ اِلَّا لِلّٰهِۜ اَمَرَ اَلَّا تَعْبُدُٓوا اِلَّٓا اِيَّاهُۜ ذٰلِكَ الدّ۪ينُ الْقَيِّمُ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٤٠

English Translation
40Those you place between yourselves and Allah and serve are nothing but names that you and your forefathers have invented. Allah has sent down no knowledge or evidence about them. For judgment belongs to Allah alone. And He has commanded that none but Him be served. This is the right and sound religion; but most people do not know this truth.
