The Holy Quran 6:78 — Surah Al-An'am

Arabic text

فَلَمَّا رَءَا ٱلشَّمْسَ بَازِغَةً قَالَ هَـٰذَا رَبِّى هَـٰذَآ أَكْبَرُ ۖ فَلَمَّآ أَفَلَتْ قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ إِنِّى بَرِىٓءٌ مِّمَّا تُشْرِكُونَ

Translation

When he saw the sun shining he said, "Can this (then) be my Rabb? This is the greater (than the stars and the moon)!" But when it set he said, “O my people, indeed I am innocent of the things that you ascribe (as partners to Allaah)."
