அவர்களையும், அவர்கள் வணங்கும் அல்லாஹ் அல்லாதவற்றையும் விட்டு விலகி நீங்கள், குகையின்பால் ஒதுங்கிக் கொள்ளுங்கள், உங்களுடைய இறைவன் தன்னுடைய ரஹ்மத்திலிருந்து உங்களுக்கு விசாலமாகக் கொடுத்து, உங்கள் காரியத்தில் உணவு பிரச்சனையை உங்களுக்கு எளிதாக்கித் தருவான் (என்று அவர்களில் ஓர் இளைஞர் சொன்னார்).

මොවුහු අපගේ ජනයා වෙති. ඔහු(අල්ලාහ්) හැර (වෙනත්) දෙවියන් මොවුහු ගත්තෝ ය. (එසේනම්) ඒවා සම්බන්ධයෙන් පැහැදිලි සාධකයක් මොවුන් ගෙන ආ යුතු නො වේ ද? අල්ලාහ් කෙරෙහි බොරු ගොතන්නාට වඩා මහා අපරාධකරු කවරෙක් ද?
