1.
SAY: "O you who deny the truth!1

in the above rendering, the particle ma ("that which") alludes, on the one hand, to all positive concepts and ethical values - e.g., belief in God and the believer's self-surrender to Him - and, on the other, to false objects of worship and false values, such - as man's belief in his own supposed "self-sufficiency" (cf. {96:6-7}), or his overriding, almost compulsive "greed for more and more" (surah {102}).

2.
"I do not worship that which you worship,
3.
and neither do you worship that which I worship.
4.
"And I will not worship that which you have [ever] worshipped,
5.
and neither will you [ever] worship that which I worship.2

Sc., "so long as you are unwilling to abandon the false values which cause you to deny the truth".

6.
"Unto you, your moral law, and unto me, mine!"3

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 .
