Ayah: 14

قُلۡ أَغَيۡرَ ٱللَّهِ أَتَّخِذُ وَلِيّٗا فَاطِرِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَهُوَ يُطۡعِمُ وَلَا يُطۡعَمُۗ قُلۡ إِنِّيٓ أُمِرۡتُ أَنۡ أَكُونَ أَوَّلَ مَنۡ أَسۡلَمَۖ وَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ

(14) Say ˹Muhammad˺: “Shall I take as ally ˹any other˺ besides Allah, the Originator^[1320] of the Heavens and Earth, while He feeds and never is He fed?”^[1321] Say: “I was commanded to be the first to submit, and that: “Do not you be among the Associators”^[1322]”.

[1320] Fāṭir comes from faṭara (past tense) which means to create something totally brand new, unparalleled in the past (al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī).
[1321] Only a Self-Sufficient, All-Sustaining God is worthy of worship and should be the only One sought for help. “I did not create jinn and humans except to worship Me. *I want no provision from them, nor do I want them to feed Me. *Indeed, Allah is the One Who is the Supreme Provider—Owner of Power, Ever Mighty” (51: 56-58).
[1322] This direct quote within the indirect report is meant as a two-fold delivery of this, most crucial Message; first for the Messenger (ﷺ), to assert his firmness, and secondly to deliver it to others (al-Shinqīṭī, al-ʿAdhb al-Namīr).
