قل اغير الله اتخذ وليا فاطر السماوات والارض وهو يطعم ولا يطعم قل اني امرت ان اكون اول من اسلم ولا تكونن من المشركين

Say: "Shall I take For my protector Any other than God, The Maker of the heavens And the earth? And He it is that Feedeth but is not fed." Say: "Nay! but I am Commanded to be the first Of those who bow To God (in Islam), And be not thou Of the company of those Who join gods with God."
