(Muhammad Assad)
39:38 And thus it is [with most people]: if thou ask them, Who is it that has created the heavens and the earth? - they will surely answer, God. Say: Have you, then, ever considered what it is that you invoke instead of God? If God wills that harm should befall me, could those [imaginary powers] remove the harm inflicted by Him? Or, if He wills that grace should alight on me, could they withhold His grace [from me]? Say: God is enough for me! In Him [alone] place their trust all who have trust [in His existence].39:38

(Yousaf Ali)
39:38 If indeed thou ask them who it is that created the heavens and the earth, they would be sure to say, "(Allah)". Say: "See ye then? the things that ye invoke besides Allah,- can they, if Allah wills some Penalty for me, remove His Penalty?- Or if He wills some Grace for me, can they keep back his Grace?" Say: "Sufficient is Allah for me! In Him trust those who put their trust."39:38
