For this reason, neither of them suffices in the worship of God Most High.
يَكْفِي — he suffices. A present-tense verb with its 'he/it' subject built in, meaning 'suffices'. Negated by the particle before it, it asserts insufficiency. The form is the plain present, the default for a general truth, here that one of the two is never enough.
