Sura 6
Aya 14
14
قُل أَغَيرَ اللَّهِ أَتَّخِذُ وَلِيًّا فاطِرِ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ وَهُوَ يُطعِمُ وَلا يُطعَمُ ۗ قُل إِنّي أُمِرتُ أَن أَكونَ أَوَّلَ مَن أَسلَمَ ۖ وَلا تَكونَنَّ مِنَ المُشرِكينَ

Muhammad Asad

Say: "Am I to take for my master anyone but God, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, when it is He who gives nourishment and Himself needs none?"1 Say: "I am bidden to be foremost among those who surrender themselves unto God, and not to be2 among those who ascribe divinity to aught beside Him."
  • Lit., "when it is He who feeds [others] and is not fed".
  • Lit., "and be thou not" - an elliptic reference to the words in which this commandment has been expressed.
