سُوْرَةُ الْعَنْكَبُوْتِ
Surah Al-Ankaboot (29) — Ayah 52
قُلْ كَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكُمْ شَهِيدًا ۖ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِٱلْبَـٰطِلِ وَكَفَرُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْخَـٰسِرُونَ ﴿52﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Say (to them O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Sufficient is Allâh for a witness between me and you. He knows what is in the heavens and on earth." And those who believe in Bâtil (all false deities other than Allâh), and disbelieve in Allâh and (in His Oneness), it is they who are the losers.

It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
52. Say, “Allah is sufficient as a witness between me and you. He knows whatever is in the heavens and the earth. And those who believe in falsehood and disbelieve in Allah—it is they who are the losers.” [84]
[84] The disbelievers of Makkah acknowledged the existence of Allah and His attributes as the Creator and Owner. Therefore, it was said to them: Say to them, if I am claiming prophethood and fabricating a lie against Him, then it should have been that He destroyed me, but in reality, He is increasing me and my companions day by day. Then He has also given me a miracle, which you are unable to answer. So, is Allah’s testimony regarding my prophethood not sufficient? Yes, if a person has resolved never to accept the truth, that is another matter, and this is the greatest misfortune and most harmful thing for a person.
