The Holy Quran 6:14 — Surah Al-An'am

Arabic text

قُلْ أَغَيْرَ ٱللَّهِ أَتَّخِذُ وَلِيًّا فَاطِرِ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَهُوَ يُطْعِمُ وَلَا يُطْعَمُ ۗ قُلْ إِنِّىٓ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ ۖ وَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ

Translation

Say, "Should I take as a helper anyone else besides Allaah Who has created the heavens and the earth and Who feeds (all His creation) without Himself being fed (all need Him while He needs none)?" Say (O Rasulullaah ﷺ), "Verily I have been commanded to be the first Muslim (to be the first to submit to Allaah's obedience) and not to be of the Mushrikeen."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

There is no helper besides Allah: in the words قُلْ لِّمَنْ مَّا فِي السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ (“Say: ‘To whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth?’”) there was generalisation with respect to place, while in وَلَهٗ مَا سَكَنَ فِي الَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ (“And to Him belongs whatever rests in the night and the day”)
