16:18 وَإِن تَعُدُّوا۟ نِعْمَةَ ٱللَّهِ لَا تُحْصُوهَآ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ And if you should count the favors of Allah, you could not enumerate them. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful 16:19 وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تُسِرُّونَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُونَ And Allah knows what you conceal and what you declare 16:20 وَٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَخْلُقُونَ شَيْـًٔا وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ And those they invoke other than Allah create nothing, and they [themselves] are created 16:21 أَمْوَٰتٌ غَيْرُ أَحْيَآءٍ ۖ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ أَيَّانَ يُبْعَثُونَ They are, [in fact], dead, not alive, and they do not perceive when they will be resurrected
