Say ‘I am only a human being a son of Adam like you; it has been revealed to me that your God is only One God annamā the anna assimilated with the mā retains its function of referring to the verbal noun in other words the Oneness of the Divine is what is being revealed to me. So whoever hopes to encounter his Lord through the Resurrection and the Requital let him do righteous work and not associate with the worship of his Lord that is to say let him not commit idolatry in performing it by feigning faith before anyone’.
