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

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

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
