22:77
O men, this is a parable. Listen to it. Those whom you invoke
besidesAllah could never create a single fly, though they combined to
do this. And if a fly carried away anything from them. they could
never retrieve it. Powerless is the invoker and the invoked.
They do not have a right estimate of God's power. For Allah is
Powerful andMighty.
He chooses His messengers from the angels and frommen. He hears
all and observes all. He knows what is before them and behind them.
ToHim shall all things return.
You that are true believers, kneel and prostrate yourselves. Worship
your Lord and do good, so that youmay triumph.
Fight for the cause of Allah with the devotion due to Him. He has
chosen you and laid on you no burdens in the observance of your faith,
the faith of Ibrahim your father. He has given you the name of
Muslims before and in this so that His Apostle may be a witness for
you, and that you yourselves may be witnesses for your fellow-men.
Therefore attend to your prayers and pay the alms-tax and hold fast
to Allah, for He is your Guardian. A gracious Guardian and a
gracious Helper!
