48إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَغفِرُ أَن يُشرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغفِرُ ما دونَ ذٰلِكَ لِمَن يَشاءُ ۚ وَمَن يُشرِك بِاللَّهِ فَقَدِ افتَرىٰ إِثمًا عَظيمًا(Irfan-ul-Quran)Surely, Allah does not forgive setting up of partners with Him, and He forgives (any other sin) lesser in degree whom He wills. And whoever sets up partners with Allah certainly fabricates a horrible sin.
