ام لهم شركاء شرعوا لهم من الدين ما لم ياذن به الله ولولا كلمة الفصل لقضي بينهم وان الظالمين لهم عذاب اليم

What! Have they partners (In godhead), who have Established for them some Religion without the permission Of God? Had it not Been for the Decree Of Judgment, the matter Would have been decided Between them (at once). But verily the wrong-doers Will have a grievous Penalty.
