Quran verse
Qur'an 30:40
Allah is He Who created you and then sustained you, then causeth you to die, then giveth life to you again. Is there any of your (so-called) partners (of Allah) that doeth aught of that? Praised and Exalted be He above what they associate (with Him)!

Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 30:40
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
يخبر تعالى أنه وحده المنفرد بخلقكم ورزقكم وإماتتكم وإحيائكم، وأنه ليس أحد من الشركاء التي يدعوهم المشركون من يشارك اللّه في شيء من هذه الأشياء.فكيف يشركون بمن انفرد بهذه الأمور من ليس له تصرف فيها بوجه من الوجوه؟!فسبحانه وتعالى وتقدس وتنزه وعلا عن شركهم، فلا يضره ذلك وإنما وبالهم عليهم.
