وَلِلَّهِ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَىٰ فَادْعُوهُ بِهَا ۖ وَذَرُوا الَّذِينَ يُلْحِدُونَ فِي أَسْمَائِهِ
"And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them. And leave [the company of] those who practice deviation concerning His names."
And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them. And leave [the company of] those who practice deviation concerning His names.
