and the earth? Or who owns hearing and sight? And who brings out the living from the
dead and brings out the dead from the living? And who disposes the affairs?" They will
say: "Allâh." Say: "Will you not then be afraid of Allâh's punishment (for setting up rivals
in worship with Allâh)?"} Yunus (10):31

of Maryam (Mary)! Did you say to men: 'Worship me and my mother as two gods besides
Allâh?' " He will say: "Glorified are You! It was not for me to say what I had no right (to
say). Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it. You know what is in my
