Quran 40:20 — Al-Ghaafir, verse 20
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
God will judge with truth, while those they invoke besides Him will not judge at all. God is the All Hearing, the All Seeing.
وَاللَّهُ يَقْضِي بِالْحَقِّ ۖ وَالَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِهِ لَا يَقْضُونَ بِشَيْءٍ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ
wal-lahu yaqḍī bil-ḥaqi wa-alladhīna yadʿūna min dūnihi lā yaqḍūna bishayin inna l-laha huwa l-samīʿu l-baṣīru
