And God decrees with truth while those on whom they call whom they worship that is the disbelievers of Mecca read yad‘ūna ‘they call’ or tad‘ūna ‘you call’ besides Him — and these are the idols — do not decree by any means at all so how can they be God’s associates? Truly God is the Hearer of their sayings the Seer of their actions.
- 40:2020
وَاللَّهُ يَقْضِي بِالْحَقِّ ۖ وَالَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِهِ لَا يَقْضُونَ بِشَيْءٍ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ
God decides with justice. But those they call apart from Him can not adjudge in the least. Verily God is all-hearing, all-perceiving.
