The Holy Quran 34:24 — Surah Saba

Arabic text

۞ قُلْ مَن يَرْزُقُكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ ۖ وَإِنَّآ أَوْ إِيَّاكُمْ لَعَلَىٰ هُدًى أَوْ فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ

Translation

Say (to the Mushrikeen), "Who sustains you from the heavens (by sending rain) and the earth (by growing crops)?" Say (in reply to the question), "Allaah! (Since even the Mushrikeen accept this fact, they should think that it is) Either we (Muslims) or you (Mushrikeen who) are certainly correctly guided or clearly misguided." (It is obvious that the misguided ones are those who do not worship Allaah despite knowing that it is Only He Who sustains them.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
