Surah al-Kafirun.
0:18
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
0:22
“Say: O disbelievers!” (109:1)
0:26
“I worship not that which ye worship;” (109:2)
0:29
Nor will you be worshippers of what I worship.
0:34
Nor will I be a worshipper of what you have worshipped.
0:38
Nor will you be worshippers of what I worship.
0:43
For you is your religion, and for me is my religion.
0:48
Say, O Muhammad, to these polytheists,
0:52
who asked you to worship their gods for a year,
0:55
on the condition that they would worship your God for a year:
0:58
"O you who disbelieve in Allah,
1:01
I do not worship what you worship of gods and idols at this present time,
1:06
nor are you worshippers of what I worship at this present time.
1:09
Nor will I be a worshipper in the future of what you have worshipped in the past,
1:14
nor will you ever be worshippers in the future of what I worship now,
1:20
and in the future."
1:22
"For you is your religion," meaning you will never abandon it,
1:26
because it has been sealed upon you,
1:28
and it has been decreed that you will not depart from it,
1:31
and that you will die upon it; "and for me is my religion," which I am upon and will never abandon,
1:38
because it has already passed in the prior knowledge of Allah that I will not move from it to another.
