If there were within them [the heavens and earth] deities besides Allah, they both would have been ruined. So exalted is Allah, Lord of the Throne, above what they attribute to Him. He cannot be questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned. Or have they taken deities besides Him? Say, [O Muḥammad], “Bring your proof. This [Qur’ān] is a Reminder for those who are with me and a Reminder for those who were before me.” But most of them do not know the truth, so they are turning away.
