Nor will we take one another as Lords besides Allah by obeying one another in that which involves disobedience to Allah. So if they turn away, then say: Bear witness that we are muslims, submitting to Allah and making our worship purely and sincerely for Him, and not worshipping anything else besides Him.’” Surah Imran (3): 64
