وَجَعَلُوا۟ لِلَّهِ مِمَّا ذَرَأَ مِنَ ٱلْحَرْثِ وَٱلْأَنْعَٰمِ نَصِيبًۭا فَقَالُوا۟ هَٰذَا لِلَّهِ بِزَعْمِهِمْ وَهَٰذَا لِشُرَكَآئِنَا ۖ فَمَا كَانَ لِشُرَكَآئِهِمْ فَلَا يَصِلُ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ فَهُوَ يَصِلُ إِلَىٰ شُرَكَآئِهِمْ ۗ سَآءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ
How to read it
Wa jaʻalū lillahi mimmā dhara'a mina l-ḥar'thi wal-'an'ʻāmi naṣīban faqālū hādhā lillahi bizaʻ'mihim' wahādhā lishurakā'inā . famā kāna lishurakā'ihim' falā yaṣilu 'ilā-llahi . wamā kāna lillahi fahuwa yaṣilu 'ilā shurakā'ihim' . sā'a mā yaḥ'kumūna
Out of what Allah hath produced in abundance in tilth and in cattle, they assigned Him a share: they say, according to their fancies: "This is for Allah, and this" - for our "partners"! but the share of their" partners "reacheth not Allah, whilst the share of Allah reacheth their "partners" ! evil (and unjust) is their assignment!
