إِنَّمَا
تَعْبُدُونَ
مِن
دُونِ
اللَّهِ
أَوْثَانًا
وَتَخْلُقُونَ
إِفْكًا
إِنَّ
الَّذِينَ
تَعْبُدُونَ
مِن
دُونِ
اللَّهِ
لَا
يَمْلِكُونَ
لَكُمْ
رِزْقًا
فَابْتَغُوا
عِندَ
اللَّهِ
الرِّزْقَ
وَاعْبُدُوهُ
وَاشْكُرُوا
لَهُ
إِلَيْهِ
تُرْجَعُونَ

"For ye do worship idols besides Allah, and ye invent falsehood. The things that ye worship besides Allah have no power to give you sustenance: then seek ye sustenance from Allah, serve Him, and be grateful to Him: to Him will be your return.
— Abdullah Yusufali
What you worship instead of Allah are mere idols, and you invent a lie. Indeed those whom you worship besides Allah have no control over your provision. So seek all [your] provision from Allah, and worship Him and thank Him, and to Him you shall be brought back.’
