قُلۡ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِن كُنتُمۡ فِي شَكّٖ مِّن دِينِي فَلَآ أَعۡبُدُ ٱلَّذِينَ تَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَٰكِنۡ أَعۡبُدُ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِي يَتَوَفَّىٰكُمۡۖ وَأُمِرۡتُ أَنۡ أَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
Say: ‘People! If you are in doubt about my religion, (know that) I do not serve those whom you serve instead of God, but I serve God, the One who takes you. I have been commanded to be one of the believers.’
وَأَنۡ أَقِمۡ وَجۡهَكَ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفٗا وَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ

If God touches you with any harm, (there is) no one to remove it but Him, and if He intends for you any good, (there is) no one to turn back His favor. He smites with it whomever He pleases of His servants. He is the Forgiving, the Compassionate.’
