Surah Al-Anbya — 21:17

لَوْ أَرَدْنَآ أَن نَّتَّخِذَ لَهْوًا لَّٱتَّخَذْنَـٰهُ مِن لَّدُنَّآ إِن كُنَّا فَـٰعِلِينَ

Law aradnaaa an nattakhiza lahwal lat takhaznaahu mil ladunnaaa in kunnaa faa'ileen

If We had wished for a pastime, We could have found it within Us- if We had wished for any such thing.

Had we wanted a diversion, we would have taken it from what is with us — if we were ever to do such a thing.
