Surah Az-Zumar Ayah 38

Az-Zumar · Ayah 38 · Juz 24 · Page 462

وَلَئِن سَأَلۡتَهُم مَّنۡ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ ٱللَّهُۚ قُلۡ أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا تَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ إِنۡ أَرَادَنِيَ ٱللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ هَلۡ هُنَّ كَٰشِفَٰتُ ضُرِّهِۦٓ أَوۡ أَرَادَنِي بِرَحۡمَةٍ هَلۡ هُنَّ مُمۡسِكَٰتُ رَحۡمَتِهِۦۚ قُلۡ حَسۡبِيَ ٱللَّهُۖ عَلَيۡهِ يَتَوَكَّلُ ٱلۡمُتَوَكِّلُونَ ٣٨

Wa laʾin saʾaltahum man khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arḍa layaqūlunnallāh, qul afaraʾaytum mā tadʿūna min dūnillāhi in arādaniyallāhu biḍurrin hal hunna kāshifātu ḍurrihī aw arādanī biraḥmatin hal hunna mumsikātu raḥmatih, qul ḥasbiyallāh, ʿalayhi yatawakkalul-mutawakkilūn.

And if you asked them, "Who created the heavens and the earth?" they would surely say, "Allāh." Say, "Then have you considered1 what you invoke besides Allāh? If Allāh intended me harm, are they removers of His harm; or if He intended me mercy, are they withholders of His mercy?" Say, "Sufficient for me is Allāh; upon Him [alone] rely the [wise] reliers."
