O you who have faith! Do not take the faithless for friends instead of the faithful. Do you wish to give Allah a clear sanction against yourselves?

We will throw terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they attribute to God partners for which He revealed no sanction. Their lodging is the Fire. Miserable is the lodging of the evildoers.

Say, My Lord has forbidden immoralities both open and secret and sin, and unjustified aggression, and that you associate with God anything for which He revealed no sanction, and that you say about God what you do not know.

The polytheists say, Had Allah wished, we would not have worshiped anything besides Him neither we, nor our fathers nor we would have forbidden anything without His sanction. Those who were before them had acted likewise. Is the apostles duty anything but to communicate in clear terms?

We will cast terror into the hearts of those who have denied the Truth since they have associated others with Allah in His divinity something for which He has sent down no sanction. The Fire is their abode how bad the resting place of the wrong doers will be!

Tell them (O Muhammad) 'My Lord has only forbidden indecent acts, whether overt or hidden all manner of sin wrongful transgression and He has forbidden that you associate with Allah in His divinity that for which He has sent down no sanction and that you ascribe to Allah things of which you have no sure knowledge that they are from Him.'
