The Holy Quran 39:15 — Surah Az-Zumar

Arabic text

فَٱعْبُدُوا۟ مَا شِئْتُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ ۗ قُلْ إِنَّ ٱلْخَـٰسِرِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَأَهْلِيهِمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۗ أَلَا ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْخُسْرَانُ ٱلْمُبِينُ

Translation

"So worship whatever you wish besides Him (this will not affect my worship)." Say, "Verily the losers are those who put themselves and their families at a loss on the Day of Qiyaamah (by committing kufr and encouraging their families to do the same). Behold! That is the evident loss (because the consequences are everlasting)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

that is, in accordance with Allah’s command, I serve Him alone with the utmost sincerity. You are free to go on worshipping whomever you please. Only consider what the outcome will be. This is explained further on.
