Verse range: 16:75

Open in Qurani

In the first of the two examples given in the last two verses, the de¬scription is that of a master and a slave, that is, the owner and the owned. By giving this example, it is being said: When these two, despite being from the same genus and the same kind, cannot be equal to each other, how then could you equate someone or something created by Allah with Him?
