سورة يوسف، الآية ٤٠Surah Yusuf, ayah 40 (12:40)
مَا تَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَسۡمَآءً سَمَّيۡتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمۡ وَءَابَآؤُكُم مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلۡطَٰنٍ إِنِ ٱلۡحُكۡمُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ أَمَرَ أَلَّا تَعۡبُدُوٓاْ إِلَّآ إِيَّاهُ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلۡقَيِّمُ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٤٠
The meaning in English
"You do not worship besides Him but only names which you have named (forged) - you and your fathers - for which Allâh has sent down no authority. The command (or the judgement) is for none but Allâh. He has commanded that you worship none but Him (i.e. His Monotheism); that is the (true) straight religion, but most men know not.

التفسير الميسر
ما تعبدون من دون الله إلا أسماءً لا معاني وراءها، جعلتموها أنتم وآباؤكم أربابًا جهلا منكم وضلالا، ما أنزل الله من حجة أو برهان على صحتها، ما الحكم الحق إلا لله تعالى وحده، لا شريك له، أمر ألا تنقادوا ولا تخضعوا لغيره، وأن تعبدوه وحده، وهذا هو الدين القيم الذي لا عوج فيه، ولكن أكثر الناس يجهلون ذلك، فلا يعلمون حقيقته
