6:136
وَجَعَلُوا
لِلَّهِ
مِمَّا
ذَرَأَ
مِنَ
الْحَرْثِ
وَالْأَنْعَامِ
نَصِيبًا
فَقَالُوا
هَذَا
لِلَّهِ
بِزَعْمِهِمْ
وَهَذَا
لِشُرَكَائِنَا
فَمَا
كَانَ
لِشُرَكَائِهِمْ
فَلَا
يَصِلُ
إِلَى
اللَّهِ
وَمَا
كَانَ
لِلَّهِ
فَهُوَ
يَصِلُ
إِلَى
شُرَكَائِهِمْ
سَاءَ
مَا
يَحْكُمُونَ

They set aside a share of the left-overs of their farming produce and cattle saying, "This is for God and that is for the idols." God does not receive the share of the idols but the share of God is given totally to the idols. How terrible is their decision!
