21. Or have they taken gods from the earth, who resurrect (the dead).

આયત: 22

لَوۡ كَانَ فِيهِمَآ ءَالِهَةٌ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ لَفَسَدَتَاۚ فَسُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَرۡشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

24. Or, have they taken gods besides Him? Say: "Bring your proof. This (Qur’an) is the reminder of whomever with me and (it also contains) the reminder of whomever before me." But most of them do not know the Truth, and so they turn away.
