And Moses said: "If ye show ingratitude,(1880) ye and all on earth together, yet is Allah free of all wants,(1881) worthy of all praise.
1880 Ingratitude not only in feeling or words, but in disobedience, and willful rejection and rebellion. If the whole of you band together against Allah, you do not detract from Allah's power one atom, because Allah does not depend upon you for anything, and His goodness and righteousness and praise worthiness cannot be called into question by your contumacy. 1881 Cf. 22:64, 29:6, 35:15, and 47:38.
