Ayah 9:31

ٱتَّخَذُوٓا۟ أَحْبَارَهُمْ وَرُهْبَٰنَهُمْ أَرْبَابًا مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلْمَسِيحَ ٱبْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَمَآ أُمِرُوٓا۟ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوٓا۟ إِلَٰهًا وَٰحِدًا لَّآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ۝٣١

English · Saheeh InternationalThey have taken their scholars and monks as lords besides Allah, and [also] the Messiah, the son of Mary. And they were not commanded except to worship one God; there is no deity except Him. Exalted is He above whatever they associate with Him.

German · Bubenheim & ElyasSie haben ihre Gelehrten und ihre Mönche zu Herren genommen außer Allah, sowie al-Masih ibn Maryam, wo ihnen doch nur befohlen worden ist, einem einzigen Gott zu dienen. Es gibt keinen Gott außer Ihm. Preis sei Ihm! (Erhaben ist Er) über das, was sie (Ihm) beigesellen.
