Al-Kafirun
The Disbelievers • Surah 109 • 6 verses
Introduction
It is reported that the pagans offered to worship Allah alone for one year, provided that the Prophet worshipped their multiple Allahs for a year. So this Meccan chapter was revealed, telling them that he will be dedicated only to the worship of Allah until the last breath of his life, which is the highlight of the next chapter.
قُلْ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “O you disbelievers!
لَآ أَعْبُدُ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ
I do not worship what you worship,
وَلَآ أَنتُمْ عَـٰبِدُونَ مَآ أَعْبُدُ
nor do you worship what I worship.
وَلَآ أَنَا۠ عَابِدٌ مَّا عَبَدتُّمْ
I will never worship what you worship,
وَلَآ أَنتُمْ عَـٰبِدُونَ مَآ أَعْبُدُ
nor will you ever worship what I worship.
لَكُمْ دِينُكُمْ وَلِىَ دِينِ
You have your way, and I have my Way.”
