لَكُمْ دِينُكُمْ وَلِىَ دِينِ Qur’an Al-Kafirun (109:6)
Lakum deenukum waliya deen i
"Unto you, your moral law, and unto me, mine!"3
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

Lit., "unto me, my moral law". The primary significance of din is "obedience"; in particular, obedience to a law or to what is conceived as a system of established - and therefore binding - usages, i.e., something endowed with moral authority: hence "religion", "faith" or "religious law" in the widest sense of these terms (cf. first half of note [249] on 2:256 ); or simply "moral law", as in the above instance as well as in 42:21 95:7 , 98:5 or 107:1 .

to you be your religion, and to me mine.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
You have your way, and I have my Way.'
  - Mustafa Khattab

Unto you your religion, and unto me my religion.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall

To you be your Way and to me mine. 6291
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

'I, having been given the Truth, cannot come to your false ways: you, having your vested interests, will not give them up. For your ways the responsibility is yours: I have shown you the Truth. For my ways the responsibility is mine: you have no right to ask me to abandon the Truth. Your persecutions will be vain: the Truth must prevail in the end'. This was the attitude of Faith then: but it is true for all time. Hold fast to Truth, "in scorn of consequence".
