The Holy Quran 6:164 — Surah Al-An'am

Arabic text

قُلْ أَغَيْرَ ٱللَّهِ أَبْغِى رَبًّا وَهُوَ رَبُّ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ ۚ وَلَا تَكْسِبُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ إِلَّا عَلَيْهَا ۚ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ ۚ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُم مَّرْجِعُكُمْ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ فِيهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ

Translation

Say, "Should I seek a Rabb besides Allaah when He is the Rabb (one only worthy of worship) of everything?” Whatever (sin) a soul earns shall be to its detriment and none will bear the burden (the sins) of another. Then (eventually) you shall return to your Rabb and He will inform you of the things concerning which you differed (argued).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Earlier, tawhid in divinity (tawhid al-uluhiyyah, Allah's oneness as the only one worthy of worship) was mentioned; now tawhid in lordship (tawhid al-rububiyyah, Allah's oneness as Lord and Sustainer) is stated explicitly.
