Allah verily is Absolute, Owner of Praise.” (14:8) 80 00:07:16,129 --> 00:07:22,910 “And Moses said: Though ye and all who are in the earth prove thankless, lo! Allah verily is Absolute, Owner of Praise.” (14:8) 81 00:07:22,910 --> 00:07:25,310 And Moses said to his people: 82 00:07:25,310 --> 00:07:27,389 "If you disbelieve, O people." 83 00:07:27,470 --> 00:07:30,350 "And reject the favor of Allah upon you." 84 00:07:30,350 --> 00:07:33,149 “And Moses said: Though ye and all who are in the earth prove thankless, lo! Allah verily is Absolute, Owner of Praise.” (14:8) 85 00:07:33,149 --> 00:07:36,670 "Then indeed, Allah is free from need of all His creation." 86 00:07:36,670 --> 00:07:42,509 Possessor of praise from His creation for what He has bestowed upon them. 87 00:07:42,509 --> 00:07:47,149 “Hath not the history of those before you reached you: the folk of Noah, and (the tribes of) A'ad and Thamud, and those after them?
