وَلَا

أَلْسِنَتُكُمُ
الْكَذِبَ
هَذَا

اللَّهِ
الْكَذِبَ

الَّذِينَ

عَلَى
اللَّهِ
الْكَذِبَ
لَا

But say not - for any false thing that your tongues may put forth,- "This is lawful, and this is forbidden," so as to ascribe false things to Allah. For those who ascribe false things to Allah, will never prosper.
— Abdullah Yusufali
Do not say, asserting falsely with your tongues, ‘This is lawful, and that is unlawful,’ attributing lies to Allah. Indeed those who attribute lies to Allah will not be felicitous.
