Quran 10:106 — Yunus, verse 106
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
do not pray to any other [god] that can neither benefit nor harm you: if you do, you will be one of the evildoers.
وَلَا تَدْعُ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنْفَعُكَ وَلَا يَضُرُّكَ ۖ فَإِنْ فَعَلْتَ فَإِنَّكَ إِذًا مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ
walā tadʿu min dūni l-lahi mā lā yanfaʿuka walā yaḍurruka fa-in faʿalta fa-innaka idhan mina l-ẓālimīna
