16. Nahl · verses 17–20

أَفَمَن يَخۡلُقُ كَمَن لَّا يَخۡلُقُۚ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

Afaman yakhluqu kaman la yakhluqu afala tathakkaroona

Is then He Who creates like one that creates not? Will ye not receive admonition?

وَإِن تَعُدُّواْ نِعۡمَةَ ٱللَّهِ لَا تُحۡصُوهَآۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَغَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ

Wain taAAuddoo niAAmata Allahi la tuhsooha inna Allaha laghafoorun raheemun

If ye would count up the favours of Allah, never would ye be able to number them: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

وَٱللَّهُ يَعۡلَمُ مَا تُسِرُّونَ وَمَا تُعۡلِنُونَ

WaAllahu yaAAlamu ma tusirroona wama tuAAlinoona

And Allah doth know what ye conceal, and what ye reveal.

وَٱلَّذِينَ يَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَخۡلُقُونَ شَيۡـٔٗا وَهُمۡ يُخۡلَقُونَ

Waallatheena yadAAoona min dooni Allahi la yakhluqoona shayan wahum yukhlaqoona

Those whom they invoke besides Allah create nothing and are themselves created.
