ٱتَّخَذُوٓاْ أَحۡبَارَهُمۡ وَرُهۡبَٰنَهُمۡ أَرۡبَابٗا مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡمَسِيحَ ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ وَمَآ أُمِرُوٓاْ إِلَّا لِيَعۡبُدُوٓاْ إِلَٰهٗا وَٰحِدٗاۖ لَّآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۚ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ
[14]. By obeying them rather than obeying Allah’s commandments.
‘Adiyy ibn Hātim al-Tā’iyy, who was Christian before embracing Islam, narrated that he came to the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) while he was reciting this verse, and he said to the Messenger: “We do not worship them!” He asked: “Do they not deem unlawful what Allāh allowed and you follow them making it unlawful, and declare lawful what Allāh forbade and you follow them making it lawful?” ‘Adiyy said: “Indeed!” then he (ﷺ) said: “That is their worship!”
In Matthew 15:1–9 (Jesus rebukes hypocrisy in their worship) 'Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked, “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don’t wash their hands before they eat!” Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of Allāh for the sake of your tradition? For Allāh said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’
But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is ‘devoted to God,’ they are not to honor their father or mother with it. Thus you nullify the word of Allāh for the sake of your tradition.
Isaiah 29:13 (Quoted by Jesus in Matthew)
“These people draw near to Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. Their worship of Me is made up only of rules taught by men.”
Jeremiah 8:8 (Corruption of religious scholars) “How can you say, ‘We are wise, for we have the law of Allāh,’ when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?”
