AL-ANKABOOT


وَلَئِنْ سَأَلْتَهُمْ مَنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّهُ ۖ فَأَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ ﴿٦١﴾
٦١ - اور اگر اُن سے پوچھو کہ آسمانوں اور زمین کو کس نے پیدا کیا۔ اور سورج اور چاند کو کس نے (تمہارے) زیر فرمان کیا تو کہہ دیں گے خدا نے۔ تو پھر یہ کہاں اُلٹے جا رہے ہیں .
[29:61] If you asked them, "Who created the heavens and earth and subjected the sun and the moon?" they would surely say, "Allah." Then how are they deluded?
[Transliteration] Wa la'in sa altahum man khalaqas samaawaati wal arda wa sakhkharash shamsa wal qamara la yaqoolunnal laahu fa ann yu'fakoon
