The Holy Quran 2:22 — Surah Al-Baqarah

Arabic text

ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ فِرَٰشًا وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بِنَآءً وَأَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَخْرَجَ بِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ رِزْقًا لَّكُمْ ۖ فَلَا تَجْعَلُوا۟ لِلَّهِ أَندَادًا وَأَنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

Translation

(Worship your Rabb) Who has made the earth a bedding for you (which is neither too hard nor too soft), the sky a roof, and has sent water for you from the sky, using it (the water) to bring forth fruits (all types of foods) for your sustenance. So never make others equal (partners) to Allaah (in worship) when you know (that they cannot create as Allaah creates and therefore do not deserve to be worshipped).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The message of tawhid to all mankind: now, addressing all servants — whether believers, disbelievers or hypocrites — the oneness (tawhid) of Almighty Allah is explained, which is the root of all the roots of faith. The gist of the meaning is this: Allah created you and all who were before you, and made everything you need and every benefit you enjoy.
