I Call Only on My Lord
قُلۡ إِنَّمَآ أَدۡعُواْ رَبِّي وَلَآ أُشۡرِكُ بِهِۦٓ أَحَدࣰا ٢٠
Say (unto them, O Muhammad): I pray unto Allah only, and ascribe unto Him no partner.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Say: “I only call on my Lord and do not associate anyone with Him.”
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this means: “Why do you crowd upon me? There is no reason for your wonder or hostility; I only pray to my Lord.”
Reflect
Direct your prayer to Allah alone today.
