Quran 16:52 — An-Nahl, verse 52
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
Everything in the heavens and earth belongs to Him: everlasting obedience is His right. Will you heed anyone other than God?
وَلَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلَهُ الدِّينُ وَاصِبًا ۚ أَفَغَيْرَ اللَّهِ تَتَّقُونَ
walahu mā fī l-samāwāti wal-arḍi walahu l-dīnu wāṣiban afaghayra l-lahi tattaqūna
