Say thou: call upon those whom ye assert beside Allah. They own not an atom's weight either in the heavens or in the earth, nor have they any partnership in either, nor is there for Him from among them any supporter. 22 Intercession with Him profits not, except for him whom He permits. Until when fear is banished from their (angels') hearts, they (angels) say: "What is it that your Lord has said?" They say: "The truth. And He is the Most High, the Most Great." 23 ۞ Proclaim, "Who provides you sustenance from the sky and the earth?" Proclaim, "Allah - and indeed either we or you are upon guidance, or in open error." 24 Say, "You will not be asked about what we committed, and we will not be asked about what you do." 25 Say, "Our Lord will bring us all together, and then judge truthfully between us; and He is the Best Judge, the All Knowing." 26 Say: "Point out to me those [beings] that you have joined with Him [in your minds] as partners [in His divinity]! Nay - nay, but He [alone] is God, the Almighty, the Wise!" 27 We have not sent thee but as a universal (Messenger) to men, giving them glad tidings, and warning them (against sin), but most men understand not. 28 And they say: When will this promise be (fulfilled) if you are truthful? 29 Say: "Determined is the day of the promise, which you can neither put back nor advance an hour.'' 30
