22:73 O people, a similitude is set forth, so listen to it: those whom you invoke besides Allah can never create even a fly, even if they all come together for that. And if a fly snatches something away from them, they cannot retrieve it. How feeble is the invoker as well as the invoked[1]!

22:74 They have not revered Allah the reverence He deserves[1]. Indeed, Allah is All-Powerful, All-Mighty.

22:75 Allah chooses messengers from the angels and from mankind. Indeed, Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.

22:76 He knows all that is ahead of them and all that is behind them[1], and to Allah returns all matters.

22:77 O you who believe, bow down and prostrate, worship Your Lord and do good, so that you may succeed.

22:78 Strive in the cause of Allah in a due manner. He has chosen you and has not imposed upon you any hardship in religion – the faith of your father Abraham. He named you as Muslims earlier and in this [Qur’an] so that the Messenger might be a witness over you and you might be witnesses over mankind. So establish prayer, give zakah, and hold fast to Allah, for He is your Protector; what an excellent Protector and an excellent Helper!
