مَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِهٖٓ اِلَّٓا اَسْمَٓاءً سَمَّیْتُمُوهَٓا اَنْتُمْ وَاٰبَٓاؤُ𐻾كُمْ مَٓا اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ بِهَا مِنْ سُلْطَانٍؕ اِنِ الْحُكْمُ اِلَّا لِلّٰهِؕ اَمَرَ اَلَّا تَعْبُدُٓوا اِلَّٓا اِیَّاهُؕ ذٰلِكَ الدّٖینُ الْقَیِّمُ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا یَعْلَمُونَ

Ma taAAbudoona min doonihi illa asmaan sammaytumooha antum waabaokum ma anzala Allahu biha min sultanin ini alhukmu illa lillahi amara alla taAAbudoo illa iyyahu thalika alddeenu alqayyimu walakinna akthara alnnasi la yaAAlamoona

Translations

You worship not besides Him except [mere] names you have named them, you and your fathers, for which Allah has sent down no authority. Legislation is not but for Allah. He has commanded that you worship not except Him. That is the correct religion, but most of the people do not know

Saheeh International

Those whom ye worship beside Him are but names which ye have named, ye and your fathers. Allah hath revealed no sanction for them. The decision rests with Allah only, Who hath commanded you that ye worship none save Him. This is the right religion, but most men know not
