Sura 3
Aya 79
79
ما كانَ لِبَشَرٍ أَن يُؤتِيَهُ اللَّهُ الكِتابَ وَالحُكمَ وَالنُّبُوَّةَ ثُمَّ يَقولَ لِلنّاسِ كونوا عِبادًا لي مِن دونِ اللَّهِ وَلٰكِن كونوا رَبّانِيّينَ بِما كُنتُم تُعَلِّمونَ الكِتابَ وَبِما كُنتُم تَدرُسونَ

T. B. Irving

It is not proper for God to give the Book plus discretion and prophethood to any human being, then that [the latter] should tell people: "Be worshippers of mine instead of God’s," but rather: "Be the Lord's [Alone] since you have been teaching the Book and because you have been studying it."
