Al-Kafirun 109:1–3
I do not worship what you worship
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
قُلْ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ ١ لَآ أَعْبُدُ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ ٢ وَلَآ أَنتُمْ عَٰبِدُونَ مَآ أَعْبُدُ ٣
The meaning, simply
Say to the disbelievers: I do not worship the idols you worship, and you do not worship the One God whom I worship.

Words to understand
- تَعْبُدُونَ
- what you worship
Think with me
Why can we not worship Allah and worship something else at the same time?
