قُلْ مَنْ رَبُّ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ قُلِ اللّٰهُۜ قُلْ اَفَاتَّخَذْتُمْ مِنْ دُونِه۪ٓ اَوْلِيَٓاءَ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ لِاَنْفُسِهِمْ نَفْعًا وَلَا ضَرًّاۜ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي الْاَعْمٰى وَالْبَص۪يرُۙ اَمْ هَلْ تَسْتَوِي الظُّلُمَاتُ وَالنُّورُۚ اَمْ جَعَلُوا لِلّٰهِ شُرَكَٓاءَ خَلَقُوا كَخَلْقِه۪ فَتَشَابَهَ الْخَلْقُ عَلَيْهِمْۜ قُلِ اللّٰهُ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَهُوَ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ ١٦

English Translation
16Ask them: "Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?" Say: "Allah!"(1) Say: "Then have you taken as protectors and helpers, placing them between yourselves and Allah, those who have no power even to benefit or harm themselves?"(2) And ask them too: "Are the blind and the seeing equal?(3) Or are darkness and light the same?"(4) Or have they discovered partners for Allah in creation, and so become confused about to whom true creation belongs? Say: "Allah is the absolute and sole Creator of all things.(5) He is the one God, who subjects all things to His authority."(6)
