12:40

مَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِهِ إِلَّا أَسْمَاءً سَمَّيْتُمُوهَا أَنتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُم مَّا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَانٍ ۚ إِنِ الْحُكْمُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ ۚ أَمَرَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوا إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ الدِّينُ الْقَيِّمُ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Ma taAAabudoona min doonihi illa asma’an sammaytumooha antum waaba’okum ma anzala Allahu biha min sultanin ini alhukmu illa lillahi amara alla taAAabudoo illa iyyahu thalika addeenu alqayyimu walakinna akthara aNnasi la yaAAlamoon

 

The Aya says:

You are not worshiping short of Him, except appellations you made up, you and your ancestors.  Allah did not bring down of it any proof.  The order is only Allah’s.  He ordered that you worship only Him.  This is the upstanding religion; however, most people do not know.

 

My personal note:

Here Joseph makes the case for monotheism in worship and that people make up all the other gods they worship other than Allah.
