وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ ٱللَّهُ ۚ قُلْ أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ إِنْ أَرَادَنِىَ ٱللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ هَلْ هُنَّ كَٰشِفَٰتُ ضُرِّهِۦٓ أَوْ أَرَادَنِى بِرَحْمَةٍ هَلْ هُنَّ مُمْسِكَٰتُ رَحْمَتِهِۦ ۚ قُلْ حَسْبِىَ ٱللَّهُ ۖ عَلَيْهِ يَتَوَكَّلُ ٱلْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ

Muhammad Hamidullah · Le Saint Coran, traduction Muhammad Hamidullah

Si tu leur demandais: «Qui a créé les cieux et la terre?», Ils diraient assurément: «Allah». Dis: «Voyez-vous ceux que vous invoquez en dehors d'Allah; si Allah me voulait du mal, est-ce que [ces divinités] pourraient dissiper Son mal? Ou s'Il me voulait une miséricorde, pourraient-elles retenir Sa miséricorde?» - Dis: «Allah me suffit: c'est en Lui que placent leur confiance ceux qui cherchent un appui».

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall · The Meaning of the Glorious Koran (1930)

And verily, if thou shouldst ask them: Who created the heavens and the earth? they will say: Allah. Say: Bethink you then of those ye worship beside Allah, if Allah willed some hurt for me, could they remove from me His hurt; or if He willed some mercy for me, could they restrain His mercy? Say: Allah is my all. In Him do (all) the trusting put their trust.
