The Holy Quran 6:108 — Surah Al-An'am

Arabic text

وَلَا تَسُبُّوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَيَسُبُّوا۟ ٱللَّهَ عَدْوًۢا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ ۗ كَذَٰلِكَ زَيَّنَّا لِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ عَمَلَهُمْ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِم مَّرْجِعُهُمْ فَيُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

Translation

Do not insult (abuse, swear) those whom they (the Mushrikeen) worship instead of Allaah, for then they shall insult (speak ill of) Allaah out of enmity and without knowledge (without realising the consequences of their actions). In this manner (as We have made the gods of these people seem great to them) We have beautified (decorated) the actions of every nation for them (because of which they continue doing what they do). Then (after death) they shall return to their Rabb and He will inform them of what they used to do (and either reward or punish them).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Do not revile the deities of others: that is, by conveying [the message] and giving counsel you have discharged your duty. Now, for the disbelief and idolatry these people commit they themselves are responsible; you bear no responsibility for it.
