Chapter 17, Page 286, Juz 15

41. We have explained things in various ways in this Quran, so that such people might take notice, but it has only turned them further away. 42. Say, ‘If there were other gods along with Him, as they say there are, then they would have tried to find a way to the Lord of the Throne.’ 43. Glory to Him! He is far above what they say! 44. The seven heavens and the earth and everyone in them glorify Him. There is not a single thing that does not celebrate His praise, though you do not understand their praise: He is most forbearing, most forgiving.

- M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
