قُلْ Say أَىُّ What شَىْءٍ thing أَكْبَرُ (is) greatest شَهَـٰدَةًۭ ۖ (as) a testimony قُلِ Say ٱللَّهُ ۖ Allah شَهِيدٌۢ (is) Witness بَيْنِى between me وَبَيْنَكُمْ ۚ and between you وَأُوحِىَ and has been revealed إِلَىَّ to me هَـٰذَا this ٱلْقُرْءَانُ [the] Quran لِأُنذِرَكُم that I may warn you بِهِۦ with it وَمَنۢ and whoever بَلَغَ ۚ it reaches أَئِنَّكُمْ Do you truly لَتَشْهَدُونَ testify أَنَّ that مَعَ with ٱللَّهِ Allah ءَالِهَةً (there are) gods أُخْرَىٰ ۚ other قُل Say لَّآ Not أَشْهَدُ ۚ (do) I testify قُلْ Say إِنَّمَا Only هُوَ He إِلَـٰهٌۭ (is) God وَٰحِدٌۭ One وَإِنَّنِى and indeed, I am بَرِىٓءٌۭ free مِّمَّا of what تُشْرِكُونَ you associate (with Him) ١٩

Say, "What thing is greatest in testimony?" Say, "Allāh is witness between me and you. And this Qur’ān was revealed to me that I may warn you thereby and whomever it reaches. Do you [truly] testify that with Allāh there are other deities?" Say, "I will not testify [with you]." Say, "Indeed, He is but one God, and indeed, I am free of what you associate [with Him]."
