تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ﴿1﴾الَّذِي خَلَقَ الْمَوْتَ وَالْحَيَاةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا

(Surah Mulk: 1-2)
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ ﴿56﴾
I created the jinn and the humankind only they might worship me
(Surah Zaariyaat: 56)

They surely disbelieve who say: Lo! Allah is messiah, son of Mary; the messiah (Himself) said: o children of Israel worship Allah, my lord and your lord. Lo! Whoso ascribed partners unto Allah for him Allah hath forbidden paradise His abode is the fire. For evil-doers there will be helpers. (72)

بَدِيعُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ أَنَّى يَكُونُ لَهُ وَلَدٌ وَلَمْ تَكُن لَّهُ صَاحِبَةٌ وَخَلَقَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ ﴿101﴾
The originator of the heavens and the earth! How can he have a child, when here is for Him no consort, when he created all things, and is Aware of all things (101)
