Surah 16:3
"He created the heavens and the earth in truth. He is exalted above what they associate."
16.3 – He created the heavens and the earth in truth
This verse begins a creation passage in which there are a number of beautiful expressions (vv. 3–21). The passage leads up to a verdict on the false objects that many people worship: these objects cannot create but are themselves created.
