22:30
ذَلِكَ وَمَنْ يُعَظِّمْ حُرُمَاتِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ خَيْر ٌ لَه ُُ عِنْدَ رَبِّه ِِ وَأُحِلَّتْ لَكُمُ الأَنعَام إِلاَّ مَا يُتْلَى عَلَيْكُمْ فَاجْتَنِبُوا الرِّجْسَ مِنَ الأَوْثَانِ وَاجْتَنِبُوا قَوْلَ الزُّورِ
Dhālika Wa Man Yu`ažžim Ĥurumāti Allāhi Fahuwa Khayrun Lahu `Inda Rabbihi Wa 'Uĥillat Lakumu Al-'An`ām 'Illā Mā Yutlá `Alaykum Fājtanibū Ar-Rijsa Mina Al-'Awthāni Wa Ajtanibū Qawla Az-Zūri
Thus, and whoever honors the restrictions of God, then it is better for him with His Lord. And the livestock has been made lawful for you; except what is being recited to you; so avoid the foulness of idols and avoid saying false statements.
29:17
إِنَّمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ أَوْثَانا ً وَتَخْلُقُونَ إِفْكا ً إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ لاَ يَمْلِكُونَ لَكُمْ رِزْقا ً فَابْتَغُوا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ الرِّزْقَ وَاعْبُدُوه ُُ وَاشْكُرُوا لَهُ~ُ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ
'Innamā Ta`budūna Min Dūni Allāhi 'Awthānāan Wa Takhluqūna 'Ifkāan 'Inna Al-Ladhīna Ta`budūna Min Dūni Allāhi Lā Yamlikūna Lakum Rizqāan Fābtaghū `Inda Allāhi Ar-Rizqa Wa A`budūhu Wa Ashkurū Lahu 'Ilayhi Turja`ūna
"You are worshipping nothing except idols besides Him, and you are creating fabrications. Those that you worship besides God do not possess for you any provision, so seek with God the provision and serve Him and be thankful to Him; to Him you will return."
29:25
وَقَالَ إِنَّمَا اتَّخَذْتُمْ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ أَوْثَانا ً مَوَدَّةَ بَيْنِكُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَكْفُرُ بَعْضُكُمْ بِبَعْض ٍ وَيَلْعَنُ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضا ً وَمَأْوَاكُمُ النَّارُ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِنْ نَاصِرِينَ
Wa Qāla 'Innamā Attakhadhtum Min Dūni Allāhi 'Awthānāan Mawaddata Baynikum Fī Al-Ĥayāati Ad-Dunyā Thumma Yawma Al-Qiyāmati Yakfuru Ba`Đukum Biba`Đin Wa Yal`anu Ba`Đukum Ba`Đāan Wa Ma'wākumu An-Nāru Wa Mā Lakum Min Nāşirīna
And he said: "You have taken idols besides God in order to preserve some friendship among you in this worldly life. But then, on the Day of Resurrection, you will reject one another, and curse one another. Your destiny is Hell, and you will have no victors."
