Al-An'am 6:164

Word by word

قُلْ أَغَيْرَ ٱللَّهِ أَبْغِى رَبًّا وَهُوَ رَبُّ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ ۚ وَلَا تَكْسِبُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ إِلَّا عَلَيْهَا ۚ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ ۚ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُم مَّرْجِعُكُمْ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ فِيهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ

Say, "Is it other than Allāh I should desire as a lord while He is the Lord of all things? And every soul earns not [blame] except against itself, and no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. Then to your Lord is your return, and He will inform you concerning that over which you used to differ."

قل -أيها الرسول-: أغير الله أطلب إلها، وهو خالق كل شيء ومالكه ومدبره؟ ولا يعمل أي إنسان عملا سيئا إلا كان إثمه عليه، ولا تحمل نفس آثمة إثم نفس أخرى، ثم إلى ربكم معادكم يوم القيامة، فيخبركم بما كنتم تختلفون فيه من أمر الدين.
