قُلْ أَفَغَيْرَ ٱللَّهِ تَأْمُرُوٓنِّىٓ أَعْبُدُ أَيُّهَا ٱلْجَـٰهِلُونَ
Qul afaghayra All a hi tamuroonnee aAAbudu ayyuh a alj a hiloon a
Say: "Is it, then, something other than God that you bid me to worship, O you who are unaware [of right and wrong]?"
  - Mohammad Asad
O Prophet say to the mushrikin: "O ignorant! Do you bid me to worship someone other than Allah?"
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Say, 'O Prophet,' 'Are you urging me to worship 'anyone' other than Allah, O ignorant ones?'
  - Mustafa Khattab
Say (O Muhammad, to the disbelievers): Do ye bid me serve other than Allah? O ye fools!
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Say: "Is it someone other than Allah that ye order me to worship O ye ignorant ones?" 4337
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

"Order me": there is great irony here. The Prophet of Allah turns to his critics and says: "You arrogate to yourselves the right to order me how to worship! But who are you? You are only ignorant men! My commission is from Allah. It is the same as came to Prophets of Allah before me in all ages, viz., (1) that the only Truth is in the Gospel of Unity; and (2) that if you worship other things and turn away from Allah, your life will be wasted and all your probation will have been of no account."
