And Allah has said, "Do not take for yourselves two deities. He [i.e., Allah] is but one God, so fear only Me."

And to Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth, and to Him is [due] worship constantly. Then is it other than Allah that you fear?

And whatever you have of favor – it is from Allah. Then when adversity touches you, to Him you cry for help.

Then when He removes the adversity from you, at once a party of you associates others with their Lord

So they will deny what We have given them. Then enjoy yourselves, for you are going to know.

And they assign to what they do not know [i.e., false deities] a portion of that which We have provided them. By Allah, you will surely be questioned about what you used to invent.

And they attribute to Allah daughters – exalted is He – and for them is what they desire [i.e., sons].

And when one of them is informed of [the birth of] a female, his face becomes dark, and he suppresses grief.

He hides himself from the people because of the ill of which he has been informed. Should he keep it in humiliation or bury it in the ground? Unquestionably, evil is what they decide.

For those who do not believe in the Hereafter is the description [i.e., an attribute] of evil; and for Allah is the highest attribute. And He is Exalted in Might, the Wise.
