مَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَسْمَآءًۭ سَمَّيْتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُم مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَٰنٍ ۚ إِنِ ٱلْحُكْمُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ ۚ أَمَرَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِيَّاهُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلْقَيِّمُ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿40﴾

12:40. 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.
جن چیزوں کی تم خدا کے سوا پرستش کرتے ہو وہ صرف نام ہی نام ہیں جو تم نے اور تمہارے باپ دادا نے رکھ لیے ہیں۔ خدا نے ان کی کوئی سند نازل نہیں کی۔ (سن رکھو کہ) خدا کے سوا کسی کی حکومت نہیں ہے۔ اس نے ارشاد فرمایا ہے کہ اس کے سوا کسی کی عبادت نہ کرو۔ یہی سیدھا دین ہے لیکن اکثر لوگ نہیں جانتے
