ولئن سالتهم من خلق السماوات والارض ليقولن الله قل افرايتم ما تدعون من دون الله ان ارادني الله بضر هل هن كاشفات ضره او ارادني برحمة هل هن ممسكات رحمته قل حسبي الله عليه يتوكل المتوكلون

If indeed thou ask them Who it is that created The heavens and the earth, They would be sure to say. "God ". Say: "See ye then? The things that ye invoke Besides God,—can they, If God 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 God for me! In Him trust those Who put their trust."
