أَلَا لِلَّهِ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلْخَالِصُ ۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوْلِيَآءَ مَا نَعْبُدُهُمْ إِلَّا لِيُقَرِّبُونَآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ زُلْفَىٰٓ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ فِى مَا هُمْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى مَنْ هُوَ كَٰذِبٌۭ كَفَّارٌۭ ۝٣

O People, verily sincere worship belongs only to Allāh, and so don’t worship anyone but Him. Those who take other than Him as guardians consider God as the Creator and other gods as managers of His affairs, and they justify their belief by saying: “We worship them only so that they may bring us humbly closer to God.” Allāh shall indeed judge between them on matters in which they disagree. Surely Allāh does not guide one who is a liar and ungrateful.S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

Indeed, only exclusive faith is worthy of Allah, and those who take other as awliya besides Him [claiming,] ‘We only worship them so that they may bring us near to Allah,’ Allah will judge between them concerning that about which they differ. Indeed Allah does not guide someone who is a liar and an ingrate.Ali Quli Qarai

Unquestionably, for Allāh is the pure religion. And those who take protectors besides Him [say], "We only worship them that they may bring us nearer to Allāh in position." Indeed, Allāh will judge between them concerning that over which they differ. Indeed, Allāh does not guide he who is a liar and [confirmed] disbeliever.Saheeh International

Law arada Allahu an yattakhithawaladan lastafa mimma yakhluqu mayashao subhanahu huwa Allahu alwahidualqahhar

Had Allāh wished to take a son unto Himself, He surely could have chosen whomever He pleased from whatever He has created. But He would never wish for such a thing. Glory be to Him! He is Allāh, the One, the Subduer.S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

He has created you from a single being; then, from its remaining clay, He made its mate. And He ‘sent down’ for you of the cattle eight pairs of goat, sheep, camel, and cow. He creates you in the wombs of your mothers in one form of creation to another form of creation in three layers of darkness: the belly, the womb and the bag of water. That is Allāh your Lord; to Him belongs the Kingdom; there is no god but He—so how are you turning away?S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

He created you from a single soul, then made from it its mate, and He has sent down for you eight mates of the cattle. He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation, in a threefold darkness. That is Allah, your Lord! To Him belongs all sovereignty. There is no god except Him. Then where are you being led away?Ali Quli Qarai

إِن تَكْفُرُوا۟ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَنِىٌّ عَنكُمْ ۖ وَلَا يَرْضَىٰ لِعِبَادِهِ ٱلْكُفْرَ ۖ وَإِن تَشْكُرُوا۟ يَرْضَهُ لَكُمْ ۗ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌۭ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ ۗ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُم مَّرْجِعُكُمْ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمٌۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ ۝٧

After all the blessings mentioned above, it is expected of us to be grateful: If you are ungrateful, then you should realize that Allāh is surely free from need of you, He does not need your gratitude. That, however, does not mean that He will tolerate your ungratefulness; He does not approve of ungratefulness in His servants. Of course, if you be thankful, then He approves that in you. Remember, you are responsible for your own actions since no bearer of the burden of sins shall bear the burden of another person. Then to your Lord shall be your return in the hereafter, and He will inform you of what you were doing in this world. He surely knows what is in their minds.S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

If you are ungrateful, Allah has indeed no need of you, though He does not approve ingratitude for His servants; and if you give thanks, He approves that for you. No bearer shall bear another’s burden; then your return will be to your Lord, whereat He will inform you concerning what you used to do. Indeed, He knows best what is in the breasts.Ali Quli Qarai

If you disbelieve - indeed, Allāh is Free from need of you. And He does not approve for His servants disbelief. And if you are grateful, He approves [i.e., likes] it for you; and no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another.

When distress afflicts a man, he calls upon his Lord, turning to Him frequently. But when He confers on him a blessing from Him, he forgets Allāh to whom he used to pray in the past and sets up rivals to Allāh so that he may lead others astray from His path. O Muḥammad, announce to such an ungrateful person: “Enjoy your ungratefulness for a while, for you surely are among the inhabitants of the Fire.”S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

When distress befalls man, he supplicates his Lord, turning to Him penitently. Then, when He grants him a blessing from Himself, he forgets that for which he had supplicated Him earlier and sets up equals to Allah, that he may lead [people] astray from His way. Say, ‘Revel in your ingratitude for a while. Indeed you are among the inmates of the Fire.’Ali Quli Qarai

And when adversity touches man, he calls upon his Lord, turning to Him [alone]; then when He bestows on him a favor from Himself, he forgets Him whom he called upon before, and he attributes to Allāh equals to mislead [people] from His way.
