SÛRAH CIX

Al-Kâfirûn takes its name from a word in verse 1. It was revealed at a time when the idolaters had asked the Prophet to compromise in matters of religion.


THE DISBELIEVERS

Revealed at Mecca

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

1 Say: O disbelievers!
2 I worship not that which ye worship;
3 Nor worship ye that which I worship.
4 And I shall not worship that which ye worship.
5 Nor will ye worship that which I worship.
6 Unto you your religion, and unto me my religion.
