Surah 40. Al-Mu'min, Ayah 66
| ۞ قُلْ إِنِّي نُهِيتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ الَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ لَمَّا جَاءَنِيَ الْبَيِّنَاتُ مِنْ رَبِّي وَأُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُسْلِمَ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ |
| Asad | : | Say: "Since all evidence of the truth has come to me from my Sustainer, I am forbidden to worship [any of] those beings whom you invoke instead of God; and I am bidden to surrender myself to the Sustainer of all the worlds." |
| Malik | : | O Prophet, tell them: "I have been forbidden to invoke those whom you invoke besides Allah. How can I do this when clear revelations have come to me from my Rabb, and I have been commanded to submit myself to the Rabb of the worlds." |
| Pickthall | : | Say (O Muhammad): I am forbidden to worship those unto whom ye cry beside Allah since there have come unto me clear proofs from my Lord, and I am commanded to surrender to the Lord of the Worlds. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Say: "I have been forbidden to invoke those whom ye invoke besides Allah seeing that the Clear Signs have come to me from my Lord: and I have been commanded to bow (in Islam) to the Lord of the Worlds." 4443 |
| Transliteration | : | Qul innee nuheetu an aAAbuda allatheena tadAAoona min dooni Allahi lamma jaaniya albayyinatu min rabbee waomirtu an oslima lirabbi alAAalameena |
Note - 4443All objects of worship besides Allah are mere delusions.
To any one who sees this clearly, through Allah's
Self-revelations, the only possible course is to give up
everything else, which his own inner experience as well
as outer Revelation tell him is false or of a temporary
nature, and to bring his own will and actions into
complete unison with Allah's Will: for that is the
meaning of Islam, bowing to the Will of Allah. When we
bow to the Real and Everlasting, we are automatically
saved from falling victims to the False and Evanescent.
