سورۃ الکافرون - 109
قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ ﴿١﴾ لَا أَعْبُدُ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ ﴿٢﴾ وَلَا أَنتُمْ عَابِدُونَ مَا أَعْبُدُ ﴿٣﴾ وَلَا أَنَا عَابِدٌ مَّا عَبَدتُّمْ ﴿٤﴾ وَلَا أَنتُمْ عَابِدُونَ مَا أَعْبُدُ ﴿٥﴾ لَكُمْ دِينُكُمْ وَلِيَ دِينِ ﴿٦﴾

 

Transliteration: “Qul ya ayyuhal kaafiroona, la a’budu ma ta’budoona, wa la antum ‘aabidoona ma a’budu, wa la anaa ‘aabidum ma ‘abadtum, wa la antum ‘aabidoona ma a’bud. La-kum Deenu-kum wa leea Deen.”

 

Translation:

 

109:1-6  “O Messenger, make an open Declaration (Qul) to this effect : “O you who purposefully hide the truth (الْكَافِرُونَ ), I do not approve (لَا أَعْبُدُ ) of the evil system you are serving (تَعْبُدُونَ ), and I do know that you are not going to submit to the Discipline that I’m devoted to enforce. And I never intended to submit to what you have been following in the past, and nor are you expected to submit to the discipline I’m following. Therefore, you may have your own way of conduct, while I stand firm with my own particular way of conduct.”
