Or were they created out of nothing? that is without a Creator. Or are they the creators? of themselves. It makes no sense for a created thing to have no creator nor can a thing that will cease to existent have the power to create. There must be a Creator of them and that is God the One so why do they not affirm His Oneness and believe in His Messenger and His Book?
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(Or were they created out of naught) without a father; and it is also said: without a Lord? (Or are they the creators) rather than being the created?
