<strong>The</strong> Quran 43: 83<br />

the heavens and earth, the Lord of the Throne – He is far above<br />

their false descriptions.’ 83 Leave them to wade in deeper and play<br />

about, until they face the Day they have been promised. 84 It is He<br />

who is God in heaven and God on earth; He is the All Wise, the All<br />

Knowing; 85 Exalted is He who has control of the heavens and earth<br />

and everything between them; He has knowledge of the Hour; you<br />

will all be returned to Him. 86 Those gods they invoke besides Him<br />

have no power of intercession, unlike those a who bore witness to the<br />

truth and recognized it. 87 If you [Prophet] ask them who created<br />

them they are sure to say, ‘God,’ so why are they so deluded? 88 <strong>The</strong><br />

Prophet has said, ‘My Lord, truly these are people who do not<br />

believe,’ 89 but turn away from them and say, ‘Peace’: they will come<br />

to know.<br />

a Those who have God’s permission. Cf. 20: 109.
