قُلۡ إِنِّي نُهِيتُ أَنۡ أَعۡبُدَ ٱلَّذِينَ تَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِۚ قُل لَّآ أَتَّبِعُ أَهۡوَآءَكُمۡ قَدۡ ضَلَلۡتُ إِذٗا وَمَآ أَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلۡمُهۡتَدِينَ

Say, “I have been forbidden to worship those whom you supplicate besides Allah.” Say, “I do not follow your desires[1]. If I did, I would go astray and I would not be one of those who are guided.”
Notes
[1] Following vain desires is what leads people to stray.
