أَلَآ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ وَمَا يَتَّبِعُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ …

10:66
أَلَآإِنَّلِلَّهِمَنفِىٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِوَمَنفِىٱلْأَرْضِ ۗوَمَايَتَّبِعُٱلَّذِينَيَدْعُونَمِندُونِٱللَّهِشُرَكَآءَ ۚإِنيَتَّبِعُونَإِلَّاٱلظَّنَّوَإِنْهُمْإِلَّايَخْرُصُونَ٦٦
alā inna lillahi man fī l-samāwāti waman fī l-arḍi wamā yattabiʿu alladhīna yadʿūna min dūni l-lahi shurakāa in yattabiʿūna illā l-ẓana wa-in hum illā yakhruṣūna

Unquestionably, to Allāh belongs whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth. And those who invoke other than Allāh do not [actually] follow [His] "partners." They follow not except assumption, and they are not but misjudging.(66)
