So glory be to God, Lord of the Throne, beyond what they allegeIf there were therein gods beside Allah, then verily both (the heavens and the earth) had been disordered. Glorified be Allah, the Lord of the Throne, from all that they ascribe (unto Him)Had there been in either heaven or earth gods besides God, both surely had gone to ruin.
