44 - Steering away from deviation

Know that this is the way leading to Me, a straight path. Follow it, then, and do not follow other ways, for they cause you to deviate from His way. All this He has enjoined upon you so that you may remain God-fearing.

As for those who have broken the unity of their faith and have become sects, you certainly have nothing to do with them. Their case rests with God. In time He will tell them the truth of what they were doing.

Say: ‘Has God given you leave to do so, or do you fabricate lies against God?’

Do they believe in alleged partners [of God] who ordain for them things which God has not sanctioned?
