Ayah: 89

قَدِ ٱفۡتَرَيۡنَا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا إِنۡ عُدۡنَا فِي مِلَّتِكُم بَعۡدَ إِذۡ نَجَّىٰنَا ٱللَّهُ مِنۡهَاۚ وَمَا يَكُونُ لَنَآ أَن نَّعُودَ فِيهَآ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّنَاۚ وَسِعَ رَبُّنَا كُلَّ شَيۡءٍ عِلۡمًاۚ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ تَوَكَّلۡنَاۚ رَبَّنَا ٱفۡتَحۡ بَيۡنَنَا وَبَيۡنَ قَوۡمِنَا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَأَنتَ خَيۡرُ ٱلۡفَٰتِحِينَ

89. We would have invented a lie against Allāh if we go back to your faith (and way of life) when Allāh delivered us from it. And it is not for us that we return in it unless Allāh, our Lord, so wills18. Our Lord, comprehends all things in His Knowledge (and Power). In Allāh 'alone' do we put our complete trust. Our Lord, decide between us and our people with Truth; for You are the Best of the arbiters.

18. All creatures are subject to the will of Almighty Allāh, Who knows everything present, past and future.
