Allah is the only Sovereign King of the Universe

 

They say "Allah has adopted a son." Allah is above such things. As a matter of fact, whatever is in the heavens and on the earth belongs to Him and all are obedient to Him. He is the Creator of the heavens and the earth: when He decrees a thing, He merely says, "Be", and there it is.

To Him belongs whosoever dwells in the heavens and on earth.

Do you not see that Allah sends down water from the sky whereby the earth turns green? Verily Allah is Subtle, All-Aware. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. Surely Allah - He alone is Self- Sufficient, Praiseworthy. Have you not seen how Allah has subjected to you all that is in the earth, and the vessels that sail in the sea by His command, and it is He Who holds back the sky that it may not fall on earth except by His leave? Surely Allah is Most Gentle, Ever Compassionate to people. And it is He Who has endowed you with life and it is He who causes you to die, and it is He Who will then resurrect you. Man is indeed extremely prone to denying the Truth.

Indeed all that is in the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah. And most certainly Allah's promise will be fulfilled, though most men are not aware. He it is Who gives life and causes death, and to Him shall you all be returned.

Verily whoever dwells in the heavens or the earth belongs to Allah. Those who invoke others beside Allah, associating them with Him in His divinity, only follow conjectures and are merely guessing. It is Allah alone Who has made the night that you may rest in it, and has made the day light-giving . Surely in that there are signs for those who give heed (to the call of the Messenger).

They say: 'Allah has taken a son. Glory be to Him. He is self-sufficient! His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. Have you any authority to support (that Allah has taken a son)? Do you ascribe to Allah something of which you have no knowledge? Tell them (O Muhammad!): 'Indeed those who invent lies against Allah will never prosper. They may enjoy the life of this world, but in the end they must return to Us, and then We shall cause them to taste severe chastisement for their disbelieving.'

Indeed those who said: 'Christ, the son of Mary, he is indeed God', disbelieved. Say (O Muhammad!): 'Who could have overruled Allah had He so willed to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, and his mother, and all those who are on earth?' For to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them; He creates what He wills. Allah is All-Powerful.

The Jews and the Christians say: 'We are Allah's children and His beloved ones.' Ask them: 'Why, then, does He chastise you for your sins?' You are the same as other men He has created. He forgives whom He wills and chastises whom He wills. And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them. To Him is the eventual return.

Surely your Lord is none other than Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six days, and then ascended His Throne; Who causes the night to cover the day and then the day swiftly pursues the night; Who created the sun and the moon and the stars making them all subservient to His command. Lo! His is the creation and His is the command. Blessed is Allah, the Lord of the universe.

Ask them: 'To whom belongs all that is in the heavens and on the earth? ' Say: 'Everything belongs to Allah.' He has bound Himself to the exercise of mercy (and thus does not chastise you for your disobedience and excesses instantly) . Surely He will gather you all together on the Day of Resurrection - the coming of which is beyond doubt; but those who have courted their own ruin are not going to believe . And to Him belongs all that dwells in the night and the day. He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing . Say: 'Shall I take for my guardian anyone other than Allah - the Originator of the heavens and earth; He Who feeds and Himself is not fed? ' Say: 'Surely I have been commanded to be the first among those who submit (to Allah) and not to be one of those who associate others with Allah in His divinity (even though others may do so).

He it is Who is God in the heavens and the earth. He is the Most Wise, the All-Knowing. Blessed is He Who has dominion over the heavens and the earth and all that is between them. With Him is the knowledge of the Hour; and to Him you shall all be sent back.

Do you not know that to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth? He chastises whom He wills and forgives whom He wills. Allah is All-Powerful.

The dominion of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah. He creates whatever He pleases. He grants females to whomever He pleases and males to whomever He pleases, or grants them a mix of males and females, and causes whomever He pleases to be barren. He is All- Knowing, All-Powerful.

To Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He forgives whom He pleases and chastises whom He pleases. He is Most Forgiving, Most Compassionate.

All that is in the heavens and the earth extols the glory of Allah. He is the Most Mighty, the Most Wise. His is the dominion of the heavens and the earth. He gives life and causes death, and He has power over everything. He is the First and the Last, and the Manifest and the Hidden, and He has knowledge of everything.

Allah: the Everlasting, the Sustainer of the whole Universe; there is no god but He. He does neither slumber nor sleep. Whatsoever is in the heavens and in the earth is His. Who is there that can intercede with Him except by His own permission? He knows what is before the people and also what is hidden from them. And they cannot comprehend anything of His knowledge except whatever He Himself pleases to reveal. His Kingdom spreads over the heavens and the earth and the guarding of these does not weary Him. He alone is the Supreme and the Exalted.

It is Allah Who sends forth winds which then set the clouds in motion, which We drive to some dead land giving a fresh life to earth after it had become dead. Such will be the resurrection of the dead.

He who seeks glory, let him know that all glory belongs to Allah alone. To Him do good words go up, and righteous action uplifts them. But those who contrive evil deeds, a severe punishment lies in store for them, and their contriving will come to naught.

Allah created you from dust, then from a drop of sperm, then He made you into pairs. No female conceives, nor delivers (a child) except with His knowledge. None is given a long life nor is any diminished in his life but it is written in a Book. Surely that is quite easy for Allah. The two masses of water are not alike. The one is sweet, sates thirst, and is pleasant to drink from, while the other is salt, bitter on the tongue. Yet from both you eat fresh meat, and extract from it ornaments that you wear; and you see ships cruising through it that you may seek of His Bounty and be thankful to Him. He causes the night to phase into the day and the day into the night, and He has subjected the sun and the moon, each running its course to an appointed term. That is Allah, your Lord; to Him belongs the Kingdom; but those whom you call upon, apart from Allah, possess not so much as the skin of a date-stone. If you call upon them, they cannot hear your prayer. And if they hear it, they cannot answer it. On the Day of Resurrection they will disown you for associating others with Allah in His Divinity. No one can inform you of the truth except the All-Aware.

(O Prophet), say to those who associate others with Allah in His Divinity: “Call upon those whom you fancied to be deities beside Allah. They own not even the smallest particle, neither in the heavens nor on the earth; nor do they have any share in the ownership of either of them. Nor is any of them even a helper of Allah."

There is no moving creature which He does not hold by its forelock.

And He alone holds sway over His servants and sets guardians over you till death approaches any of you and Our deputed angels take his soul, neglecting no part of their task. Then all are restored to Allah, their true protector. Behold, His is the judgment. He is the swiftest of those who take account.

Should Allah touch you with affliction, there is none to remove it but He; and should He touch you with good, He has the power to do everything. He has the supreme hold over His servants. He is All-Wise, All-Aware.

Whatever Mercy Allah accords to people, none can withhold; and whatever He withholds, no other will be able to release after Him. He is Most Mighty, Most Wise.

Do not call upon any apart from Allah on those who have no power to benefit or hurt you. For if you call upon others than Allah you will be reckoned among the wrong-doers. If Allah afflicts you with any hardship, none other than He can remove it; and if He wills any good for you, none can avert His bounty. He bestows good upon whomsoever of His servants He wills. He is All Forgiving, All-Merciful.

To Allah belongs the inheritance of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is well aware of what you do.

Ask them: "Say, if you indeed know, to whom belongs the dominion over all things; (Who is it) that grants asylum, but against Whom no asylum is available?" They will surely say: "(The dominion over all things) belongs to Allah." Say: "Whence are you then deluded? "

Nothing in the heavens nor on earth can frustrate Him in the least. He is All-Knowing, All-Powerful.

Say: 'O Allah, Owner of the Kingdom! You give the Kingdom to whom You will, and take the Kingdom from whom You will, and You give honor to whom You want, and humiliate whom You want . In Your Hand is all good . Surely You are All-Powerful . You cause the night to pass into the day and the day to pass into the night . You bring forth the living out of the dead, and You bring the dead out of the living, and You give sustenance to whom You will beyond all reckoning.

And Allah has the power to give His kingdom to whomever He wills: Allah is All-Embracing, All-Knowing.

The earth is Allah's, He bestows it on those of His servants He chooses. The end of things belongs to the God-fearing.

Highly blessed is He, Who has sent down Al-Furqan, to His servant so that it may be a warner to all mankind: He to Whom belongs the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth: Who has begotten no son: Who has no partner in His Kingdom : Who created each and every thing and then ordained its destiny. Yet the people have set up, besides Him, deities, who do not create anything but are themselves created : who can neither harm nor help even themselves: who have no power over life or death, nor can they raise up the dead.

He allows none to share His authority.

And say: "All praise be to Allah Who has neither taken to Himself a son, nor has He any partner in His kingdom, nor does He need anyone, out of weakness, to protect Him." So glorify Him in a manner worthy of His glory.

All that is hidden in the heavens and the earth lies within the power of Allah. To Him are all matters referred for judgment.

Even so We revealed to you, (O Prophet), a spirit by Our command. (Ere to that) you knew neither what the Book nor what the faith was. But We made that spirit a light whereby We guide those of Our servants whom We please to the Right Way. Surely you are directing people to the Right Way, the Way of Allah, to Whom belongs the dominion of all that is in the heavens and the earth. Verily, all the matters at the end go to Allah (for decision).

To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth, and to Allah are all matters referred for decision.

His is the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and to Him are all matters referred (for judgment).

He governs from the heaven to the earth and then the record (of this governance) goes up to Him in a day whose measure is a thousand years in your reckoning. He knows all that is the unseen and the seen. He is the Most Mighty, the Most Compassionate.

Lo! His is the creation and His is the command.

The judgment on whatever you differ rests with Allah.

Tell them: 'Truly, all power of decision rests solely with Allah.'

All power of decision rests entirely with Allah.

Allah's command alone prevails.

Judgment lies with Allah alone. He declares the Truth, and He is the best judge.

For those who have certainty of belief whose judgment can be better than Allah's?

And He alone holds sway over His servants and sets guardians over you till death approaches any of you and Our deputed angels take his soul, neglecting no part of their task. Then all are restored to Allah, their true protector. Behold, His is the judgment. He is the swiftest of those who take account.

(O Messenger!) It is not for you to decide whether He will accept their repentance or chastise them, for they surely are wrongdoers. Whatever is in the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah. He forgives whom He wills, and chastises whom He wills: Allah is indeed All-Forgiving, Most-Compassionate.

And Allah does whatever He wants.

Indeed Allah decrees as He wills.

Surely your Lord does whatsoever He wills.

Allah does whatever He wills.

He allows none to share His decisions (and authority).

Allah commands, and no one has the power to reverse His command. He is swift in reckoning.

Had there been any gods in the heavens and the earth apart from Allah, the order of both the heavens and the earth would have gone to ruins. Glory be to Allah, the Lord of the Throne, Who is far above their false descriptions of Him. None shall question Him about what He does, but they will be questioned.

Have they taken gods other than Him? Say, (O Muhammad): "Bring forth your proof! Here is the Book with admonition for those of my time and there are also scriptures with admonition for people before me." But most people do not know the Truth, and have, therefore, turned away from it. Never did We send any Messenger before you to whom We did not reveal: "There is no god but Me. So serve Me alone."

As for those who refuse to follow His command, surely Allah does not stand in need of anything of the worlds.

"If you and everyone on the earth turn to disbelief, know that God is Self-sufficient and Innately Praiseworthy. "

But if you disbelieve, then bear in mind that all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth belongs to Allah. Allah is Self-Sufficient, Most Praiseworthy.

If you disbelieve, know well that Allah has no need of you. Yet He does not like unbelief in His servants. But if you are thankful, your thankfulness will please Him. No one shall bear another's burden. You are destined to return to your Lord and He will tell you what you used to do. He is well aware even of what lies hidden in your breasts.

Whoever is grateful is so to his own good; and whoever is ungrateful, let him know that my Lord is in no need for him, Most Bountiful.

Say: “He is Allah, the One and Unique; Allah, Who is in need of none and of Whom all are in need; He neither begot any nor was He begotten, and none is comparable to Him."

O Muhammad, tell the people, "My Lord does not care at all if you do not invoke Him. Now that you have denied (His Revelation), you will soon be awarded such a punishment which you will never be able to avoid."

Then supremely exalted is Allah, the True King!

Blessed is He in Whose Hand is the dominion of the Universe, and Who has power over everything.

Holy is He Who has full control over everything, and to Him you will all be recalled.

That is Allah, your Lord; to Him belongs the Kingdom; but those whom you call upon, apart from Allah, possess not so much as the skin of a date-stone.
