The Holy Quran 35:3 — Surah Fatir

Arabic text

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ٱذْكُرُوا۟ نِعْمَتَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ ۚ هَلْ مِنْ خَـٰلِقٍ غَيْرُ ٱللَّهِ يَرْزُقُكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُؤْفَكُونَ

Translation

O people! Remember Allaah's favour to you. Is there another creator besides Allaah who sustains you from the sky and the earth? There is no Illaah but Him. So to where are you retrogressing (turning away from Towheed)?

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Only the Creator can be worshipped: that is, you do acknowledge that creating, and keeping alive by providing the means of sustenance, are all in the control and power of Allah. Then from where did anyone else acquire the right to be worshipped? He who is the true Creator and Provider is the One who ought to be worshipped.
