We never sent a messenger before you ˹O Prophet˺ without revealing to him: “There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Me, so worship Me ˹alone˺.” 21:25
And they say, “The Most Compassionate has offspring!”1 Glory be to Him! In fact, those ˹angels˺ are only ˹His˺ honoured servants, 21:26
who do not speak until He has spoken, ˹only˺ acting at His command. 21:27
He ˹fully˺ knows what is ahead of them and what is behind them. They do not intercede except for whom He approves, and they tremble in awe of Him. 21:28
Whoever of them were to say, “I am a god besides Him,” they would be rewarded with Hell by Us. This is how We reward the wrongdoers. 21:29
Do the disbelievers not realize that the heavens and earth were ˹once˺ one mass then We split them apart? And We created from water every living thing. Will they not then believe? 21:30
And We have placed firm mountains upon the earth so it does not shake with them, and made in it broad pathways so they may find their way. 21:31
And We have made the sky a well-protected canopy, still they turn away from its signs.1 21:32
And He is the One Who created the day and the night, the sun and the moon—each travelling in an orbit. 21:33
We have not granted immortality to any human before you ˹O Prophet˺: so if you die, will they live forever? 21:34
Every soul will taste death. And We test you ˹O humanity˺ with good and evil as a trial, then to Us you will ˹all˺ be returned. 21:35
