Ayah: 21

أَمۡ لَهُمۡ شُرَكَٰٓؤُاْ شَرَعُواْ لَهُم مِّنَ ٱلدِّينِ مَا لَمۡ يَأۡذَنۢ بِهِ ٱللَّهُۚ وَلَوۡلَا كَلِمَةُ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ لَقُضِيَ بَيۡنَهُمۡۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ

21. Do they have partners 'associate-gods' who have ordained for them some ˹false˺ beliefs, which Allāh 'God' had not authorized? Had it not been for a decisive Word 'gone forth already', the matter would have certainly been judged between them. The unjust will have a painful torment.
