The Troops
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[39:38]
And thus it is [with most people]: if thou ask them, "Who is it that has created the heavens and the earth?" – they will surely answer, "God."
Say: "Have you, then, ever considered what it is that you invoke instead of God? If God wills that harm should befall me, could those [imaginary powers] remove the harm inflicted by Him? Or, if He wills that grace should alight on me, could they withhold His grace [from me]?"
Say: "God is enough for me! In Him [alone] place their trust all who have trust [in His existence]."
