حُنَفَاءَ
لِلَّهِ
غَيْرَ
مُشْرِكِينَ
بِهِ
وَمَن
يُشْرِكْ
بِاللَّهِ
فَكَأَنَّمَا
خَرَّ
مِنَ
السَّمَاءِ
فَتَخْطَفُهُ
الطَّيْرُ
أَوْ
تَهْوِي
بِهِ
الرِّيحُ
فِي
مَكَانٍ
سَحِيقٍ

Being true in faith to Allah, and never assigning partners to Him: if anyone assigns partners to Allah, is as if he had fallen from heaven and been snatched up by birds, or the wind had swooped (like a bird on its prey) and thrown him into a far-distant place.
— Abdullah Yusufali
as persons having pure faith in Allah, not ascribing partners to Him. Whoever ascribes partners to Allah is as though he had fallen from a height, then [his corpse] is devoured by vultures, or [his remains are] blown away by the wind far and wide.
