19* To Him belong all (creatures) in the heavens and on earth: even those who are with Him are not too proud to serve Him, nor are they (ever) weary (of His service):  
| |20* They celebrate His praises night and day, nor do they ever flag or intermit.  
| |21* Or have they taken (for worship) gods from the earth who can raise (the dead)?  
| |22* If there were, in the heavens and the earth, other gods besides Allah, there would have been ruin in both! but glory to Allah, the Lord of the Throne: (High is He) above what they attribute to Him!  
| |23* He cannot be questioned for His acts, but they will be questioned (for theirs).  
| |24* Or have they taken for worship (other) gods besides Him? Say, "Bring your convincing proof: this is the Message of those with me and the Message of those before me." But most of them know not the Truth, and so turn away.  
| |25* Not a messenger did We send before thee without this inspiration sent by Us to him: that there is no god but I; therefore worship and serve Me.  
| |26* And they say: "The Most Gracious has taken a son!" Glory to Him! They are (but) servants raised to honor.  
| |27* They speak not before He speaks, and they act (in all things) by His Command.  
| |28* He knows what is before them, and what is behind them, and they offer no intercession except for those with whom He is well pleased, and they stand in awe and reverence of His (Glory).
