The Holy Quran 18:110 — Surah Al-Kahf

Arabic text

قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَىَّ أَنَّمَآ إِلَـٰهُكُمْ إِلَـٰهٌ وَٰحِدٌ ۖ فَمَن كَانَ يَرْجُوا۟ لِقَآءَ رَبِّهِۦ فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلًا صَـٰلِحًا وَلَا يُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِۦٓ أَحَدًۢا

Translation

(O Muhammad) Say (to the people,), "I am but a human being (a mortal) like yourselves (neither an angel nor divine being). Revelation comes to me that your Ilaah is but One Ilaah (Allaah, so worship no one else). So whoever expects (hopes) to meet his Rabb (on the Day of Qiyaamah) should perform good actions and not make anyone a partner (shareholder) in the worship of his Rabb," (He should not worship anyone but Allaah and when worshipping Allaah, he should not intend to please anyone but Allaah.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The knowledge of a prophet, too, is finite: that is, I am a human being just like you, not a deity, who would possess all knowledge and perfections on his own, by his very essence. Yes, Almighty Allah reveals to me true knowledge and sacred insights, the root of all roots of which is the knowledge of tawhid (the Oneness of Allah)
