The Holy Quran 6:116 — Surah Al-An'am

Arabic text

وَإِن تُطِعْ أَكْثَرَ مَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ يُضِلُّوكَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَإِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَ

Translation

If you follow the majority on earth (the Kuffaar) they will deviate you (divert) from Allaah's path (from Islaam). All they follow are their guesses (their own ideas and concepts) and lies (their beliefs have no substance).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

In matters of truth the majority counts for nothing: observation and history show that in the world men of understanding, of sound research and of firm principle have always been few. The majority are always those who follow mere fancies and unprincipled, haphazard talk.
