Maarif-ul-Quran (En) - Ar-Ra'd : 16
قُلْ مَنْ رَّبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ١ؕ قُلِ اللّٰهُ١ؕ قُلْ اَفَاتَّخَذْتُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِهٖۤ اَوْلِیَآءَ لَا یَمْلِكُوْنَ لِاَنْفُسِهِمْ نَفْعًا وَّ لَا ضَرًّا١ؕ قُلْ هَلْ یَسْتَوِی الْاَعْمٰى وَ الْبَصِیْرُ١ۙ۬ اَمْ هَلْ تَسْتَوِی الظُّلُمٰتُ وَ النُّوْرُ١ۚ۬ اَمْ جَعَلُوْا لِلّٰهِ شُرَكَآءَ خَلَقُوْا كَخَلْقِهٖ فَتَشَابَهَ الْخَلْقُ عَلَیْهِمْ١ؕ قُلِ اللّٰهُ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَیْءٍ وَّ هُوَ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ
Say, "Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?" Say, "Allah." Say, 'Have you, then, taken others than Him as protectors who possess no power to cause benefit or harm even to themselves?' Say, Is it that a blind person and a sighted one are equal, or that (all sorts of) the darkness and the light are alike?" Or, have they made partners with Allah who created as He created, and thus the creation seemed to them alike? Say, "Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the One, the All-Dominant."
Commentary The outcome of both parables is that foam does appear prominent for a while on the real thing, but it finally gets to be thrown away and the real thing remains. Similar is the case of the false. Though the false may, for a short while, appear to have overcome the true, but the false is finally subdued and eliminated and that which is true remains and stands manifestly proven. (Tafsir A1-Jalalayn)
