People, this is a parable, listen to it. Those whom you call upon, other than Allah, could never create a fly, though they banded together to do this. And if a fly robs them of anything, they could never rescue it from it. The seeker and the sought are alike in their weakness. 73 They do not esteem God with the right estimation. God is surely all-powerful and all-mighty. 74 God selects messengers from both angels and from mankind; God is all hearing and all seeing: 75 He knoweth whatsoever is before them and whatsoever is behind them; and unto Allah are returned all affairs 76 O you who believe, bow in adoration, Worship your Lord and do what is good that you may find success. ۩ 77 And strive for Allah with the endeavour which is His right. He hath chosen you and hath not laid upon you in religion any hardship; the faith of your father Abraham (is yours). He hath named you Muslims of old time and in this (Scripture), that the messenger may be a witness against you, and that ye may be witnesses against mankind. So establish worship, pay the poor-due, and hold fast to Allah. He is your Protecting friend. A blessed Patron and a blessed Helper! 78
