وَلَئِنْ سَاَلْتَهُمْ مَنْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللّٰهُۜ قُلْ اَفَرَاَيْتُمْ مَا تَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ اِنْ اَرَادَنِيَ اللّٰهُ بِضُرٍّ هَلْ هُنَّ كَاشِفَاتُ ضُرِّه۪ٓ اَوْ اَرَادَن۪ي بِرَحْمَةٍ هَلْ هُنَّ مُمْسِكَاتُ رَحْمَتِه۪ۜ قُلْ حَسْبِيَ اللّٰهُۜ عَلَيْهِ يَتَوَكَّلُ الْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ ٣٨

English Translation
38If you ask them: —Who created the heavens and the earth? —they will answer without hesitation: "Allah." Say: —Then tell me: if Allah wished to bring some hardship upon me, could those you place between yourselves and Allah and implore in prayer remove that hardship? Or if Allah wished to bestow a favor/kindness on me, could they hold it back? Say: —Allah is sufficient for me. Let those who wish to rely and trust in someone bind themselves to and trust in Allah alone.
