Pay heed! Worship is for Allah only; and those who have taken others as their supporters beside Him say; “We worship* them only so that they get us closer to Allah”; Allah will surely judge between them regarding the matter in which they dispute; indeed Allah does not guide one who is a big liar, extremely ungrateful. (*The pagans regarded their idols as smaller Gods and worshipped them. So did the Christians. This does not apply to Muslims who only respect their elders, and ask for their blessings.)
信心の誠を尽して仕えるのは，アッラーに対し当然ではないか。だがかれを差し置いて（他に）保護者を求める者は，「わたしたちがかれら（神々）に仕えるのは只わたしたちがアッラーの御側に近づくためである。」（という）。本当にアッラーはかれらの異なる点について，必ずその間を裁決なされる。アッラーは，虚偽で恩を忘れる者を御導きになられない。
