Quran 3:80 — Aal-i-Imraan, verse 80
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
He would never command you to take angels and prophets as lords. How could he command you to be disbelievers after you had devoted yourselves to God?
وَلَا يَأْمُرَكُمْ أَنْ تَتَّخِذُوا الْمَلَائِكَةَ وَالنَّبِيِّينَ أَرْبَابًا ۗ أَيَأْمُرُكُمْ بِالْكُفْرِ بَعْدَ إِذْ أَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ
walā yamurakum an tattakhidhū l-malāikata wal-nabiyīna arbāban ayamurukum bil-kuf'ri baʿda idh antum mus'limūna

- He would never order you to take the angels and the Prophets as Lords; what, would He order you to disbelieve, after you have surrendered?
- Muhammad Asad
- And neither did he bid you to take the angels and the prophets for your lords: [for] would he bid you to deny the truth after you have surrendered yourselves unto God?
- Sahih International
- Nor could he order you to take the angels and prophets as lords. Would he order you to disbelief after you had been Muslims?
