The Holy Quran 22:71 — Surah Al-Hajj

Arabic text

وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِهِۦ سُلْطَـٰنًا وَمَا لَيْسَ لَهُم بِهِۦ عِلْمٌ ۗ وَمَا لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ مِن نَّصِيرٍ

Translation

Besides Allaah, they (the Mushrikeen) worship things regarding which Allaah has not revealed any warrant (authorisation), and about which they (the Mushrikeen) have no knowledge (they have no substantiation for regarding these gods as their deities). The (unjust) oppressors (Mushrikeen) will have no helper (to save them from Allaah's punishment).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Blind Imitation of Forefathers: they do this merely out of blind imitation of their fathers and forefathers; they have no proof, either transmitted or rational. The greatest wrong and injustice is to set up any partner with Allah.
