At-Tawba - Ayah No.31
اتَّخَذُوا أَحْبَارَهُمْ وَرُهْبَانَهُمْ أَرْبَابًا مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَالْمَسِيحَ ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَمَا أُمِرُوا إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوا إِلَـٰهًا وَاحِدًا ۖ لَّا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ سُبْحَانَهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ
English Translation
They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides Allah (by obeying them in things which they made lawful or unlawful according to their own desires without being ordered by Allah), and (they also took as their Lord) Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary), while they (Jews and Christians) were commanded [in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)) to worship none but One Ilah (God - Allah) La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). Praise and glory be to Him, (far above is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him)."
اردو ترجمہ
ان لوگوں نے اللہ کو چھوڑ کر اپنے عالموں اور درویشوں کو رب بنایا ہے اور مریم کے بیٹے مسیح کو حالانکہ انہیں صرف ایک اکیلے اللہ ہی کی عبادت کا حکم دیا گیا تھا جس کے سوا کوئی معبود نہیں وه پاک ہے ان کے شریک مقرر کرنے سے۔
