Transliteration

Wa laa yaamurakum an tattakhizul malaaa 'ikata wan Nabiyyeena arbaabaa; a yaamurukum bilkufri ba'da iz antum muslimoon

Translation

Nor could he order you to take the angels and prophets as lords. Would he order you to disbelief after you had been Muslims?

Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

It is also not right for such a man to instruct you to take the angels and the prophets as lords to be worshipped besides Allah. Is it possible that he would instruct you to disbelieve after you have become devoted and have surrendered to Him?
