EnglishSaheeh International
Had there been within them [i.e., the heavens and earth] gods besides Allāh, they both would have been ruined. So exalted is Allāh, Lord of the Throne, above what they describe.

(வான், பூமி ஆகிய) இவற்றில் அல்லாஹ்வையன்றி வேறு தெய்வங்கள் இருந்திருந்தால், நிச்சயமாக இவையிரண்டும் அழிந்தே போயிருக்கும், அர்ஷுடைய இறைவனாம் அல்லாஹ், அவர்கள் வர்ணிக்கும் (இத்தகைய) தன்மைகளிலிருந்து மிகவும் தூய்மையானவன்.

ඒ දෙකෙහි අල්ලාහ් හැර තවත් දෙවියකු සිටියේ නම් ඒ දෙකම අර්බුදයට පත්වනු ඇත. එහෙයින් ඔවුන් වර්ණනා කරන දැයින් (අර්ෂ් හෙවත්) රාජධානියේ හිමිපාණන් වූ අල්ලාහ් සුවිශුද්ධ ය.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
اگر آسمان وزمین میں سوائے اللہ تعالیٰ کے اور بھی معبود ہوتے تو یہ دونوں درہم برہم ہوجاتے پس اللہ تعالیٰ عرش کا رب ہر اس وصف سے پاک ہے جو یہ مشرک بیان کرتے ہیں.
JapaneseRyoichi Mita
もし,その(天地の)間にアッラー以外の神々があったならば,それらはきっと混乱したであろう。それで玉座の主,かれらが唱えるものの上に(高くいます)アッラーを讃えなさい。
ChineseMa Jian
除真主外,假若天地间还有许多神明,那末,天地必定破坏了。赞颂真主--宝座的主--是超乎他们的描述的。

Tafsir of 21:22

Refutation of false gods Allah denounces those who take other gods instead of Him: أَمِ اتَّخَذُواْ آلِهَةً مِّنَ الاٌّرْضِ هُمْ يُنشِرُونَ (Or have they taken gods from the earth who raise the dead) meaning, can they bring the dead back to life and bring them forth from the earth They cannot do any of that, so how can they make them rivals to Allah and worship them alongside Him Then Allah tells us that if there were another god besides Him, the heavens and the earth would be ruined: لَوْ كَانَ فِيهِمَآ آلِهَةٌ (Had there been therein gods) means, in the heavens and the earth, لَفَسَدَتَا (then verily, both would have been ruined.) This is like the Ayah: مَا اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ مِن وَلَدٍ وَمَا كَانَ مَعَهُ مِنْ إِلَهٍ إِذاً لَّذَهَبَ كُلُّ إِلَهٍ بِمَا خَلَقَ وَلَعَلاَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ سُبْحَنَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ (No son did Allah beget, nor is there any god along with Him. Then each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have tried to overcome others! Glorified be Allah above all that they attribute to Him!) 23:91.…
