The Holy Quran 30:40 — Surah Ar-Rum

Arabic text

ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ ثُمَّ رَزَقَكُمْ ثُمَّ يُمِيتُكُمْ ثُمَّ يُحْيِيكُمْ ۖ هَلْ مِن شُرَكَآئِكُم مَّن يَفْعَلُ مِن ذَٰلِكُم مِّن شَىْءٍ ۚ سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَـٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

Translation

It is Allaah Who has created you, then sustains you, will then give you death and again give you life (on the Day of Qiyaamah). Are there any of your partners (gods) who can do any of this? Allaah is Pure (unique) and Exalted above the partners they (the Mushrikeen) ascribe to Him (because none can do what He can do).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

that is, causing death and giving life and granting provision — all these works, then, are in His sole control. From where, then, did other partners come and become deserving of divinity?
