Hamuabudu badala yake ila majina tu mliyo yapanga nyinyi na baba zenu. (12:40)

﴿مَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِهِ إِلَّا أَسْمَاءً سَمَّيْتُمُوهَا أَنتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُم مَّا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَانٍ ۚ إِنِ الْحُكْمُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ ۚ أَمَرَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوا إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ الدِّينُ الْقَيِّمُ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ﴾
[ يوسف: 40]

Hamuabudu badala yake ila majina tu mliyo yapanga nyinyi na baba zenu. Mwenyezi Mungu hakuyateremshia hayo uthibitisho wowote. Hapana hukumu ila ya Mwenyezi Mungu tu. Yeye ameamrisha msimuabudu yeyote isipo kuwa Yeye tu. Hiyo ndiyo Dini Iliyo Nyooka. Lakini watu wengi hawajui.

Swahili Translation - Al-Barwani

English - Sahih International

You worship not besides Him except [mere] names you have named them, you and your fathers, for which Allah has sent down no authority. Legislation is not but for Allah. He has commanded that you worship not except Him. That is the correct religion, but most of the people do not know.

Tafsiri ya maana yake kwenye lugha ya Kiswahili

Hamuabudu badala yake ila majina tu mliyo yapanga nyinyi na baba zenu. Mwenyezi Mungu hakuyateremshia hayo uthibitisho wowote. Hapana hukumu ila ya Mwenyezi Mungu tu. Yeye ameamrisha msimuabudu yeyote isipo kuwa Yeye tu. Hiyo ndiyo Dini Iliyo Nyooka. Lakini watu wengi hawajui.

Hamuabudu badala ya Mwenyezi Mungu ila majina tu mliyo yazua nyinyi na baba zenu kwa mawazo bila ya kuwepo kweli. Mwenyezi Mungu hakuwateremshia hao hoja wala ushahidi wowote! Hapana wa kuhukumu nini kinacho faa kuabudiwa na kipi hakifai ila Mwenyezi Mungu tu. Yeye ameamrisha msimnyenyekee yeyote mwenginewe, na mumuabudu Yeye peke yake. Hiyo ndiyo Dini iliyo nzima iliyo nyooka, ambayo dalili zote na ushahidi unaelekea kwake. Lakini aghlabu ya watu hawataki uwongozi wa dalili hizi, wala hawajijui kuwa wamo katika ujinga na upotovu.
