Yusuf 38

وَاتَّبَعْتُ مِلَّةَ اٰبَٓاء۪ٓي اِبْرٰه۪يمَ وَاِسْحٰقَ وَيَعْقُوبَۜ مَا كَانَ لَنَٓا اَنْ نُشْرِكَ بِاللّٰهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍۜ ذٰلِكَ مِنْ فَضْلِ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى النَّاسِ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَشْكُرُونَ ۝٣٨

38And I have followed the belief system of my forefathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It would never befit us to ascribe any attribute that belongs to Allah to anyone else. This belief in Allah's oneness (tawhid) is a grace from Allah to us and to all people. But most people are not grateful for this blessing.
