Sura 16 Al-Nahl (The Bee), ayah 116

  1. وَلَا تَقُولُوا لِمَا تَصِفُ أَلْسِنَتُكُمُ الْكَذِبَ هَٰذَا حَلَالٌ وَهَٰذَا حَرَامٌ لِتَفْتَرُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ الْكَذِبَ ۚ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ الْكَذِبَ لَا يُفْلِحُونَ

    And (do) not
    تَقُولُوا۟

    لِمَا
    for that which
    تَصِفُ
    assert
    أَلْسِنَتُكُمُ
    your tongues,
    ٱلْكَذِبَ
    the lie,
    هَٰذَا
    "This
    حَلَٰلٌ
    (is) lawful
    وَهَٰذَا
    and this
    حَرَامٌ
    (is) forbidden,"
    لِّتَفْتَرُوا۟

    عَلَى
    about
    ٱللَّهِ
    Allah
    ٱلْكَذِبَ
    the lie.
    إِنَّ
    Indeed,
    ٱلَّذِينَ
    those who
    يَفْتَرُونَ
    invent
    عَلَى
    about
    ٱللَّهِ
    Allah
    ٱلْكَذِبَ
    the lie,
    لَا
    they will not succeed.
    يُفْلِحُونَ
    they will not succeed.

    And do not say about what your tongues assert of untruth, "This is lawful and this is unlawful," to invent falsehood about Allah. Indeed, those who invent falsehood about Allah will not succeed.
