The Majestic Quran

1 This Book is revealed by God, the Almighty, the Wise. 2 We revealed to you the Book of the Truth, so worship God sincerely with commitment. 3 Take heed! Sincere commitment should be for God alone. People who take protectors beside Him, claiming that we just worship them to achieve nearness to God, God will judge their disagreement.
