Sura 22
Aya 31
31
حُنَفاءَ لِلَّهِ غَيرَ مُشرِكينَ بِهِ ۚ وَمَن يُشرِك بِاللَّهِ فَكَأَنَّما خَرَّ مِنَ السَّماءِ فَتَخطَفُهُ الطَّيرُ أَو تَهوي بِهِ الرّيحُ في مَكانٍ سَحيقٍ

Muhammad Asad

[inclining] towards God, [and] turning away from all that is false,1 without ascribing divine qualities to aught beside Him: for he who ascribes divinity to aught but God is like one who is hurtling down from the skies whereupon the birds carry him off, or the wind blows him away onto a far-off place.
