Shirk, Mushriks

 ذَلِكُم بِأَنَّهُ إِذَا دُعِيَ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ كَفَرْتُمْ وَإِن يُشْرَكْ بِهِ تُؤْمِنُوا فَالْحُكْمُ لِلَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْكَبِيرِ 40:12

(Fathe Muhammad Jalandari)
يہ اس لئے کہ جب تنہا خدا کو پکارا جاتا تھا تو تم انکار کرديتے تھے. اور اگر اس کے ساتھ شريک مقرر کيا جاتا تھا تو تسليم کرليتے تھے تو حکم تو خدا ہي کا ہے جو (سب سے) اوپر اور (سب سے) بڑا ہے 40:12

(Muhammad Assad)
 40:12 [And they will be told:] “This [has befallen you] because, whenever the One God was invoked, you denied this truth; whereas, when divinity was ascribed to aught beside Him, you believed [in it]! But all judgment rests with God, the Exalted, the Great!” 40:12

(Yousaf Ali)
 40:12 (The answer will be:) "This is because, when Allah was invoked as the Only (object of worship), ye did reject Faith, but when partners were joined to Him, ye believed! the Command is with Allah, Most High, Most Great!"40:12
