Surah Al-An'aam
Say, "Is it other than Allah I should take as a protector, Creator of the heavens and the earth, while it is He who feeds and is not fed?"

Simplified Tafsir
قل -أيها الرسول- لهؤلاء المشركين مع الله تعالى غيره: أغير الله تعالى أتخذ وليًّا ونصيرًا، وهو خالق السموات والأرض وما فيهن، وهو الذي يرزق خلقه ولا يرزقه أحد؟ قل -أيها الرسول-: إني أُمِرْتُ أن أكون أول مَن خضع وانقاد له بالعبودية من هذه الأمة، ونهيت أن أكون من المشركين معه غيره.
