سُوْرَةُ الإِسۡرَاءِ
Surah Al-Israa (17) — Ayah 43
سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَـٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يَقُولُونَ عُلُوًّا كَبِيرًا ﴿43﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Glorified and Exalted be He! High above (the great falsehood) that they say! (i.e. forged statements that there are other gods along with Allâh, but He is Allâh, the One, the Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need. He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none comparable or coequal unto Him).

43. Exalted is He, and far above [53] what they say.
[53] That is, these absurdities of the polytheists are confined only to these people and limited to their region of land, and the Being of Allah is far above and exalted beyond such nonsensical notions of these people.
