13:16

قُلْ مَن رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ ۚ قُلْ أَفَٱتَّخَذْتُم مِّن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوْلِيَآءَ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ لِأَنفُسِهِمْ نَفْعًا وَلَا ضَرًّا ۚ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِى ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ وَٱلْبَصِيرُ أَمْ هَلْ تَسْتَوِى ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتُ وَٱلنُّورُ ۗ أَمْ جَعَلُوا۟ لِلَّهِ شُرَكَآءَ خَلَقُوا۟ كَخَلْقِهِۦ فَتَشَـٰبَهَ ٱلْخَلْقُ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ خَـٰلِقُ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَهُوَ ٱلْوَٰحِدُ ٱلْقَهَّـٰرُ

Translation

EN

Say: "Who is the Lord and Sustainer of the heavens and the earth?" Say: "(It is) Allah." Say: "Do ye then take (for worship) protectors other than Him, such as have no power either for good or for harm to themselves?" Say: "Are the blind equal with those who see? Or the depths of darkness equal with light?" Or do they assign to Allah partners who have created (anything) as He has created, so that the creation seemed to them similar? Say: "Allah is the Creator of all things: He is the One, the Supreme and Irresistible."

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

Say [Prophet], ‘Who is Lord of the heavens and the earth?’ Say, ‘God.’ Say, ‘Why do you take protectors other than Him, who can neither benefit nor harm even themselves?’ Say, ‘Are the blind equal to those who can see? And are the depths of darkness equal to the light?’ Have the partners they assign to God created anything like His creation so that their creation is indistinguishable from His? Say, ‘God is the Creator of all things: He is the One, the All Compelling.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleemall-rights-reserved

Say (O Muhammad): Who is Lord of the heavens and the earth? Say: Allah. Say: Take ye then (others) beside Him for protectors, which, even for themselves, have neither benefit nor hurt? Say: Is the blind man equal to the seer, or is darkness equal to light? Or assign they unto Allah partners who created the like of His creation so that the creation (which they made and His creation) seemed alike to them? Say: Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the One, the Almighty.

Say, "Who is Lord of the heavens and earth?" Say, "Allāh." Say, "Have you then taken besides Him allies not possessing [even] for themselves any benefit or any harm?" Say, "Is the blind equivalent to the seeing? Or is darkness equivalent to light? Or have they attributed to Allāh partners who created like His creation so that the creation [of each] seemed similar to them?" Say, "Allāh is the Creator of all things, and He is the One, the Prevailing."

De ki: "Göklerin ve yerin Rabbi kimdir?", "Allah'tır" de. "Onu bırakıp, kendilerine bir fayda ve zararı olmayan dostlar mı edindiniz?" de. "Kör ile gören bir olur mu? Veya karanlıkla aydınlık bir midir?" de. Yoksa Allah'a, Allah gibi yaratması olan ortaklar buldular da, yaratmaları birbirine mi benzettiler? De ki: "Her şeyi yaratan Allah'tır. O, her şeye üstün gelen tek Tanrı'dır."

De ki: "Göklerin ve yerin Rabbi kimdir?" De ki: "Allah'dır". De ki: "Allah'dan başkalarını, o kendi kendilerine ne bir fayda, ne de bir zarar verebilenleri dostlar mı ediniyorsunuz?" De ki: "Hiç kör ile gören bir olur mu? Hiç karanlıklarla aydınlık bir olur mu?" Yoksa Allah'a, O'nun gibi yaratan birtakım ortaklar buldular da, bu yaratış kendilerince birbirine benzer mi göründü? De ki: "Allah, her şeyi yaratandır. O, birdir. Her şeye üstün ve kahredicidir."

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

De ki: “Göklerin ve yerin Rabbi kimdir?” (Cevaben de) de ki: “Allah’tır.” De ki: “O’nun peşi sıra kendilerine bile yarar ve zarar verme gücüne sahip olamayan dostlar mı edindiniz!” De ki: “Körle gören bir olur mu hiç! Veya karanlıklarla aydınlık eşit olur mu! Yoksa Allah’a O’nun yarattığı gibi (şeyler) yaratan ortaklar buldular da bu yaratma onlar tarafından birbirine benzer mi göründü!” De ki: “Allah her şeyin yaratıcısıdır. O, tektir; ezici güç sahibidir.”

قل -أيها الرسول- للمشركين: مَن خالق السَّموات والأرض ومدبِّرهما؟ قل: الله هو الخالق المدبر لهما، وأنتم تقرون بذلك، ثم قل لهم ملزمًا بالحجة: أجعلتم غيره معبودين لكم، وهم لا يَقْدرون على نفع أنفسهم أو ضرها فضلا عن نفعكم أو ضركم، وتركتم عبادة مالكها؟ قل لهم -أيها الرسول-: هل يستوي عندكم الكافر -وهو كالأعمى- والمؤمن وهو كالبصير؟ أم هل يستوي عندكم الكفر -وهو كالظلمات- والإيمان -وهو كالنور؟ أم أن أولياءهم الذين جعلوهم شركاء لله يخلقون مثل خَلْقه، فتشابه عليهم خَلْق الشركاء بخلق الله، فاعتقدوا استحقاقهم للعبادة؟ قل لهم -أيها الرسول-: الله تعالى خالق كل كائن من العدم، وهو المستحق للعبادة وحده، وهو الواحد القهار الذي يستحق الألوهية والعبادة، لا الأصنام والأوثان التي لا تضرُّ ولا تنفع.
