Na washirikina wanasema: Mwenyezi Mungu angeli taka tusingeli abudu chochote badala yake, (16:35)

﴿وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا لَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مَا عَبَدْنَا مِن دُونِهِ مِن شَيْءٍ نَّحْنُ وَلَا آبَاؤُنَا وَلَا حَرَّمْنَا مِن دُونِهِ مِن شَيْءٍ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ فَعَلَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ فَهَلْ عَلَى الرُّسُلِ إِلَّا الْبَلَاغُ الْمُبِينُ﴾
[ النحل: 35]

Na washirikina wanasema: Mwenyezi Mungu angeli taka tusingeli abudu chochote badala yake, sisi wala baba zetu, wala tusingeli harimisha chochote bila ya Yeye. Kama hivyo walifanya walio kuwa kabla yao. Basi lipo lolote juu ya Mitume isipo kuwa kubalighisha kwa uwazi?

Swahili Translation - Al-Barwani

English - Sahih International

And those who associate others with Allah say, "If Allah had willed, we would not have worshipped anything other than Him, neither we nor our fathers, nor would we have forbidden anything through other than Him." Thus did those do before them. So is there upon the messengers except [the duty of] clear notification?

Tafsiri ya maana yake kwenye lugha ya Kiswahili

Na washirikina wanasema: Mwenyezi Mungu angeli taka tusingeliabudu chochote badala yake, sisi wala baba zetu, wala tusingeli harimisha chochote bila ya Yeye. Kama hivyo walifanya walio kuwa kabla yao. Basi lipo lolote juu ya Mitume isipo kuwa kubalighisha kwa uwazi?

Na washirikina wakasema kwa inda na ukosefu: Lau kama Mwenyezi Mungu angeli penda tumuabudu Yeye tu peke yake na tumtii kwa anayo tuamuru, basi tusingeli muabudu mwenginewe, wala tusingeli harimisha sisi wenyewe kitu asicho harimisha Yeye kama Bahira na Saiba. Na hii ni hoja potovu wanayo itafutia njia katika ukafiri wao. Na makafiri walio kwisha tangulia walitoa hoja kama hizo, baada ya kuwapelekea Mitume wetu, wakaamrisha Tawhidi (kumuabudu Mwenyezi Mungu Mmoja), na kumtii Yeye, na wakawakataza ushirikina na kuharimisha asivyo harimisha Mwenyezi Mungu. Hoja ikasimama dhidi yao. Na Mitume wetu wakatimiza tuliyo waamrisha wayafikishe. Na juu yetu kuwahisabu wao. Na Mitume hawana jukumu zaidi ya hayo.
