We are certainly dominant over them all. 42 So hold fast to all that has been revealed to thee: for, behold, thou art on a straight way; 43 Verily it is a great source of eminence for you and your people, and soon you will be called to account concerning that. 44 Ask those of Our messengers whom We sent before you, "Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped besides the Beneficent One?" 45
