Show Me
هَٰذَا خَلۡقُ ٱللَّهِ فَأَرُونِي مَاذَا خَلَقَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِۦۚ بَلِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ فِي ضَلَٰلࣲ مُّبِينࣲ ١١
This is the Creation of Allah. Now show me that which those (ye worship) beside Him have created. Nay, but the wrong-doers are in error manifest.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
This is the creation of Allah. So show Me what those other than Him have created.
Insight
