Do They Have Partners?
أَمۡ لَهُمۡ شُرَكَآءُ فَلۡيَأۡتُواْ بِشُرَكَآئِهِمۡ إِن كَانُواْ صَٰدِقِينَ ٤١
Or have they other gods? Then let them bring their other gods if they are truthful.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Or do they have partners? Let them bring their partners, if they are truthful.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this asks whether they have partners who share in that judgement, whom they imitate or worship.
Reflect
Don’t blindly imitate anyone.
