(Say to the people:) ‘Listen, sincere obedience and worship is only Allah’s due. And those (disbelievers) who have taken (idols as) helpers other than Allah (say in false justification of their idol-worship:) ‘We worship them only that they may bring us near to Allah.’ Surely Allah will judge between them concerning the matter in which they differ. Certainly Allah does not give him guidance who is a liar, very ungrateful.
