Koran 53:23 — soera An-Najm, vers 23

إِنۡ هِيَ إِلَّآ أَسۡمَآءٞ سَمَّيۡتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمۡ وَءَابَآؤُكُم مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلۡطَٰنٍۚ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَمَا تَهۡوَى ٱلۡأَنفُسُۖ وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَهُم مِّن رَّبِّهِمُ ٱلۡهُدَىٰٓ

Zij zijn alleen namen die jullie genoemd hebben – jullie en jullie vaderen – waarvoor Allah geen bevoegdheid voor heeft gegeven. Zij volgen slechts vermoedens en dat wat zij zelf willen, en er is zeker leiding van hun Heer tot hen gekomen!

They are not but [mere] names you have named them - you and your forefathers - for which Allah has sent down no authority. They follow not except assumption and what [their] souls desire, and there has already come to them from their Lord guidance
