Chapter 21, Page 323, Juz 17

19. To Him belongs whoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those near Him [i.e., the angels] are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, nor do they tire. 20. They exalt [Him] night and day [and] do not slacken. 21. Or have they [i.e., men] taken for themselves gods from the earth who resurrect [the dead]? 22. Had there been within them [i.e., the heavens and earth] gods besides Allāh, they both would have been ruined. So exalted is Allāh, Lord of the Throne, above what they describe. 23. He is not questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned. 24. Or have they taken gods besides Him? Say, [O Muḥammad], "Produce your proof. This [Qur’ān] is the message for those with me and the message of those before me." But most of them do not know the truth, so they are turning away.
