Whatever ˹idols˺ you worship instead of Him are mere names which you and your forefathers have invented -a practice Allah has never authorized. It is only Allah Who decides. He has commanded that you worship none but Him. That is the upright faith, but most people do not know.
Meaning:-
Mere: Mere means pure and simple, nothing more and nothing less. If the mere mention of someone’s name makes you happy, then just hearing his name — and that alone — is enough to make you smile.
