The Holy Quran 27:59 — Surah An-Naml

Arabic text

قُلِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَسَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰ عِبَادِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱصْطَفَىٰٓ ۗ ءَآللَّهُ خَيْرٌ أَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

Translation

Say, "All praise be to Allaah (for destroying those who are a scourge to mankind) and peace be on those bondsmen of His whom He has chosen (the Ambiyaa عليهم الصلاة والسلام). Is Allaah better or those (gods) whom they (the Mushrikeen) ascribe as partners to Him?"

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

A khutbah (opening address) of praise: having finished with the stories, from آٰللّٰهُ خَيۡرٌ اَمَّا يُشۡرِكُوۡنَ “Is Allah better, or what they associate with Him?” onwards, [Allah] is going to set out tawhid (the oneness of Allah). These words have been taught as a khutbah (opening address), which ought to come before beginning an exposition.
