An-Najm · Ayah 23 · Juz 27 · Page 526

إِنۡ هِيَ إِلَّآ أَسۡمَآءٞ سَمَّيۡتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمۡ وَءَابَآؤُكُم مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلۡطَٰنٍۚ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَمَا تَهۡوَى ٱلۡأَنفُسُۖ وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَهُم مِّن رَّبِّهِمُ ٱلۡهُدَىٰٓ ٢٣

In hiya illā asmāʾun sammaytumūhā antum wa ābāʾukum mā anzalallāhu bihā min sulṭān, iy yattabiʿūna illaẓ-ẓanna wa mā tahwal-anfus, wa laqad jāʾahum mir rabbihimul-hudā.

They are not but [mere] names you have named them - you and your forefathers - for which Allāh has sent down no authority. They follow not except assumption and what [their] souls desire, and there has already come to them from their Lord guidance.
