أَلَا لِلَّهِ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلۡخَالِصُۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوۡلِيَآءَ مَا نَعۡبُدُهُمۡ إِلَّا لِيُقَرِّبُونَآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ زُلۡفَىٰٓ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَحۡكُمُ بَيۡنَهُمۡ فِي مَا هُمۡ فِيهِ يَخۡتَلِفُونَۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهۡدِي مَنۡ هُوَ كَٰذِبٞ كَفَّارٞ

3. The pure worship is for Allāh 'alone'. Those who take guardians besides Him, 'saying': "We do not worship them except that they may take us nearer to Allāh." Allāh will judge between them in all that in which they differ. Indeed, Allāh does not guide him who is liar¹, ungrateful.

1. Attributing a son to Him, persistent unbeliever.
