So do not cite the examples for God. God knows, and you do not know.

Surah An Nahl Ayat 72

God has given you mates from among yourselves; and has produced for you, from your mates, children and grandchildren; and has provided you with good things. Will they then believe in falsehood, and refuse God’s favors?

Surah An Nahl Ayat 73

And yet they serve besides God what possesses no provisions for them in the heavens, nor on earth, nor are they capable.

Surah An Nahl Ayat 75

God cites the example of a bonded slave, who has no power over anything; and someone to whom We have given plentiful provision, from which he gives secretly and openly. Are they equal in comparison? All praise belongs to God, but most of them do not know.

Surah An Nahl Ayat 76

And God cites the example of two men: one of them dumb, unable to do anything, and is a burden on his master; whichever way he directs him, he achieves nothing good. Is he equal to him who commands justice, and is on a straight path?
