Quran 21:29 — Al-Anbiyaa, verse 29
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
If any of them were to claim, ‘I am a god beside Him,’ We would reward them with Hell: this is how We reward evildoers.
وَمَنْ يَقُلْ مِنْهُمْ إِنِّي إِلَـٰهٌ مِنْ دُونِهِ فَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِيهِ جَهَنَّمَ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الظَّالِمِينَ
waman yaqul min'hum innī ilāhun min dūnihi fadhālika najzīhi jahannama kadhālika najzī l-ẓālimīna
