Ka ce (Ya Muhammadu): "Idan kuna da wani shakka game da cikakkun bayanai, ko ingancin, ko hankalin addinina, to ku sani cewa ni ban bautawa kowa sai Allah, Wanda Shi kaɗai ke da iko a kan wannan al'amari."

Say (O Muhammad): ‘If you suffer from any doubts as to the details, or validity or rationality of my deen, then let it be known to you that I do not give me ’ibadah to anyone other than Allah He Who (having alone the power in this regard)

...yana sa ka mutuwa, kuma an umarce ni in kasance daga cikin masu imani (da Shi), kuma in daidaita hali da tafarkina gaba ɗaya kuma kawai bisa ga addini, kuma kada in zama ɗaya daga cikin waɗanda suke haɗa wasu da Allah.' (Yunus 10:104-105)

causes you to die, and I have been bidden to be of the believers (in Him), and to set my conduct and coarse wholly and solely according to the Deen and not to become one of those who associate others with Allah.’ (al-Yunus 10:104-105)

…iko ta Allah kaɗai ce ikon yin hukunci. (Kuma) Ya umarci cewa kada mu bautar da ibadarmu ga kowa sai Shi; wannan ita ce addini madaidaiciya, tabbatacciya. (al-Yusuf 12:40)

…authority vests in Allah alone. (And) He has Commanded that we do not give our ’ibadah to any accept Him; this is the Deen, right and proper. (al-Yusuf 12:40)

Kuma gare Shi ne duk abin da ke cikin sammai da ƙasa. Duka suna yi masa biyayya. Ya buga muku misali daga kanku: Shin akwai wani daga cikin bayinku da yake abokin tarayya da ku cikin abin da Muka azurta ku da shi? Shin kuna sanya su daidai da ku a cikin mallakar abin da kuke mallaka?

And to Him belong all who are in the heavens and the earth. All are subservient to Him He has propounded to you a similitude from your own (experience). Is any of your slaves a partner with you in the bounty We have conferred upon you? Do you make them equal partners in your ownership of your possessions?...

Gaskiya ita ce waɗannan mutane marasa shiriya suna bin tunanin kansu na kuskure da marar tushe, da ra'ayoyi da son zuciyarsu ba tare da ingantaccen ilimi ba...

... the truth is that these misguided people follow their own wrong and baseless notions, ideas and desires without proper knowledge...

Ba daidai ba ne a tsoma baki cikin Tsarin Allah. Wannan shi ne addini madaidaici kuma mai gaskiya, amma mutane da yawa ba sa sani. (ar-Rum 30:26-30)

So you (O Muhammad) set your face straight upon the Deen, and follow the natural course meant by Allah for men [What is meant is that it is Allah alone Who has created man, and provided for his sustenance and others of his needs, that there is no god but He, and that He alone is man’s Master and the only authority rightfully deserving of his worship. Therefore, it would be fitly in accordance with this natural fact that man should believe, and behave, as only Allah’s creature and servant and not anyone else’s at all - Maududi]. It is not right that Allah’s Design be interfered with. This is the right and proper Deen and yet many a people know this not. (ar-Rum 30:26-30)

Mazinaci da mazinaciya, to ku yi wa kowannensu bulala ɗari. Kada tausayi ya kama ku game da addinin Allah….

The adulterer, and the adulteress, let them both be given a hundred stripes each, and let not pity overcome you in a matter of Allah’s Deen….

[Adultery, in Islam, is the commission of the sexual act between a male and a female not married to each other. The fact that it has been committed through mutual consent is no mitigation of the offence. The punishment here prescribed is that in the case of persons who are unmarried. In the case of a married person (who would have less reason to commit adultery), the punishment is that he or she be stoned to death, and there are categorical orders that this be done in public and be witnessed by a crowd (so as to serve as a lesson to others). In fact all bodily punishments are required, by the Shari’ah to be inflicted in public. There is far more psychology in this than in all the writings of those who decry whipping or death sentences, in the name of humanness. Abu Asad]. (an-Nur 24:2)

A cikin Littafin Allah, adadin watanni ya kasance koyaushe goma sha biyu a shekara, tun ranar da Ya halicci sammai da ƙasa; daga cikinsu (goma sha biyu) huɗu ne masu tsarki; wannan ita ce addini madaidaiciya kuma ta gaskiya (al'ada)... (at-Tawbah 9:36)

In Allah’s Writ, the number of months has always been twelve to a year, from the day He erected the heavens and the earth; of which (twelve) four are sacred; this is the true and straight deen (usage).... (at-Tawbah 9:36)

Kuma haka waɗanda suka sanya wa Allah abokan tarayya suka ƙawata wa mushirikai kashe 'ya'yansu, domin su hallaka su, su kuma rikitar da addinin su.

And thus did those whom they associated with Allah make it appear a commendable act in the eyes of the mushrikeen [that is, the people guilty of shirk, the association of others with God - Maududi]to slay their children in order to lead them to their own destruction, and cause confusion in their deen….

(Al-An'am 6:137)

(al-An’aam 6:137)

Shin akwai waɗanda suka riƙa waɗansu a matsayin abokan tarayya ga Allah, waɗanda suke shar'anta musu hanyoyi a cikin addini, alhali ba su da izini daga Allah جل جلاله…. (ash-Shooraa 42:21)

Have they taken some people to be partners (with Allah) who prescribe ways for them in the nature of deen, for which they have had no permission from Allāh جل جلاله…. (ash-Shooraa 42:21)

Gare ku, addininku; kuma gare ni, addinina.

For you, your deen, and for me mine own. (al-Kaafirun 109:6)

In all these verses, the word deen has been used to mean the law, rules or regulations, shari’ah, or code of conduct, or that system of thought and action which a person subscribes to and lives by. If the ultimate authority for the law or code, etc., which is followed, is God Himself, then the person concerned in observing Allah’s deen; if it owes us itself to the commandments of a monarch, then he is in the monarch’s Deen; if it is prescribed by some priests or pundits or other religious leaders then he is observing their Deen; and if it has been laid down by the family, the clan or the tribe, or the national body-politic, then he is following their deen. In other words, the basic, critical factor as to the deen a person follows is the ultimate authority responsible for it.
