66قُلْ إِنِّى نُهِيتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ ٱلَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَمَّا جَآءَنِىَ ٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتُ مِن رَّبِّى وَأُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُسْلِمَ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
[66] O Prophet, tell the people, "I have been forbidden to worship those whom you invoke instead of Allah.95 (How can I do this) when clear Signs have come to me from my Lord? I have been commanded to submit to the Lord of all creation. "
95Here again `ibadat (worship) and du 'a (prayer) have ban used as synonyms .
