“Why should I fear your idols? It is you who should be afraid, since you worship instead of God idols that are utterly powerless to help you. Which side is more deserving of security, if you know?”
وَكَيفَ أَخافُ ما أَشرَكتُم وَلا تَخافونَ أَنَّكُم أَشرَكتُم بِاللَّهِ ما لَم يُنَزِّل بِهِ عَلَيكُم سُلطٰنًا فَأَىُّ الفَريقَينِ أَحَقُّ بِالأَمنِ إِن كُنتُم تَعلَمونَ
wa kaifa akhaafu maaa ashraktum wa laa takhaafoona annakum ashraktum billaahi maa lam yunazzil bihee ‘alaikum sultaanaa; fa aiyul fareeqaini ahaqqu bil amni in kuntum ta’lamoon
