Back to full surahAl-Isrâ’ 17:42
قُل لَّوْ كَانَ مَعَهُ آلِهَةٌ كَمَا يَقُولُونَ إِذًا لَّابْتَغَوْا إِلَىٰ ذِي الْعَرْشِ سَبِيلًا ٤٢
Qul law kana maAAahu alihatun kama yaqooloona ithan laibtaghaw ila thee alAAarshi sabeelan
Say: ’If there had been other gods with Him, as they say, in that case assuredly they would have sought a way unto the Lord of the Throne.’ Glory be to Him! (17:42)
سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى عَمَّا يَقُولُونَ
(Glorified and Exalted is He high above what they say!) meaning these idolators who transgress and do wrong when they claim that there are other gods besides Him.
عُلُوّاً كَبِيراً
(high above) means, far above. He is Allah, the One, the Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need. He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none comparable or coequal unto Him.
