Arabic

اِنْ هِيَ اِلَّآ اَسْمَاۤءٌ سَمَّيْتُمُوْهَآ اَنْتُمْ وَاٰبَاۤؤُكُمْ مَّآ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ بِهَا مِنْ سُلْطٰنٍۗ اِنْ يَّتَّبِعُوْنَ اِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَمَا تَهْوَى الْاَنْفُسُۚ وَلَقَدْ جَاۤءَهُمْ مِّنْ رَّبِّهِمُ الْهُدٰىۗ ۝٢٣

Transliteration

In hiya illā asmā-un sammaitumūhā antum wa ābā-ukum mā anzalallāhu bihā min sulṭōn, iy yattabi‘ūna illaẓ-ẓonna wa mā tahwal-anfus, wa laqod jā-ahum mir robbihimul-hudā

Meaning

These are nothing but names, which you have devised, you and your ancestors, for which Allah sent down no authority. They follow nothing but assumptions, and what the ego desires, even though guidance has come to them from their Lord.
