وَلَئِن
سَأَلْتَهُم
مَّنْ
خَلَقَ
السَّمَاوَاتِ
وَالْأَرْضَ
لَيَقُولُنَّ
اللَّهُ
قُلْ
أَفَرَأَيْتُم
مَّا
تَدْعُونَ
مِن
دُونِ
اللَّهِ
إِنْ
أَرَادَنِيَ
اللَّهُ
بِضُرٍّ
هَلْ
هُنَّ
كَاشِفَاتُ
ضُرِّهِ
أَوْ
أَرَادَنِي
بِرَحْمَةٍ
هَلْ
هُنَّ
مُمْسِكَاتُ
رَحْمَتِهِ
قُلْ
حَسْبِيَ
اللَّهُ
عَلَيْهِ
يَتَوَكَّلُ
الْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ

If indeed thou ask them who it is that created the heavens and the earth, they would be sure to say, "Allah". Say: "See ye then? the things that ye invoke besides Allah,- can they, if Allah wills some Penalty for me, remove His Penalty?- Or if He wills some Grace for me, can they keep back his Grace?" Say: "Sufficient is Allah for me! In Him trust those who put their trust."
— Abdullah Yusufali
If you ask them, ‘Who created the heavens and the earth?’ they will surely say, ‘Allah.’ Say, ‘Have you considered what you invoke besides Allah? Should Allah desire some distress for me, can they remove the distress visited by Him? Or should He desire some mercy for me, can they withhold His mercy?’ Say, ‘Allah is sufficient for me. In Him let all the trusting put their trust.’
