ٱلَّذِى
لَهُۥ
مُلْكُ
ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ
وَٱلْأَرْضِ

وَلَدًۭا
وَلَمْ
يَكُن
لَّهُۥ

وَٱتَّخَذُوا۟
مِن
دُونِهِۦٓ
ءَالِهَةًۭ

يُخْلَقُونَ

يَمْلِكُونَ
لِأَنفُسِهِمْ
ضَرًّۭا
وَلَا
نَفْعًۭا
وَلَا
يَمْلِكُونَ
مَوْتًۭا
وَلَا
حَيَوٰةًۭ
وَلَا
نُشُورًۭا

25:4
وَقَالَ
ٱلَّذِينَ

جَآءُو

أَسَـٰطِيرُ
ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

مَلَكٌۭ
فَيَكُونَ
