Surah Al-An'am 6:144



ﱜ ﱝ ﱞ ﱟ ﱠ ﱡ ﱢ ﱣ ﱤ ﱥ ﱦ ﱧ ﱨ ﱩ ﱪ ﱫ ﱬ ﱭ ﱮ ﱯ ﱰ ﱱ ﱲ ﱳ ﱴ ﱵ ﱶ ﱷ ﱸ ﱹ ﱺ ﱻ ﱼ ﱽ ﱾ ﱿ ﲀ ﲁ ﲂ ﲃ ﲄ ﲅ ﲆ ﲇ

And of the camels, two and of the cattle, two. Say, "Is it the two males He has forbidden or the two females or that which the wombs of the two females contain? Or were you witnesses when Allah charged you with this? Then who is more unjust than one who invents a lie about Allah to mislead the people by [something] other than knowledge? Indeed, Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people."

ومن اﻻبل اثنين ومن البقر اثنين قل آلذكرين حرم أم اﻻنثيين أما اشتملت عليه أرحام اﻻنثيين

And of the camels two, and of oxen two. Say: "Has He forbidden the two males or the two females or (the young) which the wombs of the two females enclose!

أم كنتم شهداء إذ وصاكم الله بهذا

Or, were you present when Allah ordered you such a thing! mocking the idolators' innovations, and their lies that Allah made sacred what they have prohibited.

فمن أظلم ممن افترى على الله كذبا ليضل الناس بغير علم

Then who does more wrong than one who invents a lie against Allah, to lead mankind astray without knowledge. Therefore, no one is more unjust than the people described here and

إن الله ﻻ يهدي القوم الظالمين

Certainly, Allah guides not the people who are wrongdoers. The person most worthy of this condemnation is `Amr bin Luhay bin Qum`ah. He was the first person to change the religion of the Prophets and designate the Sa'ibah, Wasilah and Ham, as mentioned in the Sahih
