Maarif-ul-Quran (En) - An-Nahl : 76
وَ ضَرَبَ اللّٰهُ مَثَلًا رَّجُلَیْنِ اَحَدُهُمَاۤ اَبْكَمُ لَا یَقْدِرُ عَلٰى شَیْءٍ وَّ هُوَ كَلٌّ عَلٰى مَوْلٰىهُ١ۙ اَیْنَمَا یُوَجِّهْهُّ لَا یَاْتِ بِخَیْرٍ١ؕ هَلْ یَسْتَوِیْ هُوَ١ۙ وَ مَنْ یَّاْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ١ۙ وَ هُوَ عَلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِیْمٍ۠   ۧ
And Allah gives an example: There are two men. One of them is dumb who is unable to do anything, and he is a burden on his master. Wherever he directs him to, he brings no good. Does he equal the one who enjoins justice and is on the straight path?
In the second example, there is a man who bids justice and teaches what is good. This is a model of his intellectual perfection. Then he him-self takes the path of moderation and right guidance. This is the model of his practical perfection. Set against the power of this intellectually and practically perfect man, there is the other man who cannot do anything for himself nor can he do anything right for others. These two men of two different kinds, despite being from one genus, one species and one brotherhood, cannot be equal to each other. So, how can some created being or thing become equal to the Creator and Master of the universe who is Absolute in Wisdom, Absolute in Power, and All-Knowing and All-Aware?
