Follow those who ask no reward of you, and are ˹rightly˺ guided. (21) And why should I not worship the One Who has originated me, and to Whom you will be returned. (22) How could I take besides Him other gods whose intercession would not be of any benefit to me, nor could they save me if the Most Compassionate intended to harm me? (23) Indeed, I would then be clearly astray. (24) I do believe in your Lord, so listen to me.” (25)
