Chapter 39, Page 463, Juz 24

42. God takes the souls of the dead and the souls of the living while they sleep- He keeps hold of those whose death He has ordained and sends the others back until their appointed time- there truly are signs in this for those who reflect. 43. Yet they take intercessors besides God! Say, ‘Even though these have no power or understanding?’ 44. Say, ‘All intercession belongs to God alone; He holds control of the heavens and the earth; in the end you will all return to Him.’ 45. Whenever God is mentioned on His own, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter shrink with aversion, but they rejoice when gods other than Him are mentioned. 46. Say, ‘God! Creator of the heavens and earth! Knower of all that is hidden and all that is open, You will judge between Your servants regarding their differences.’

- M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
