In this lengthy post we shall be looking at the occurrence of the phrase min duni (instead of).
S 2:23 And if you are in doubt about what we have sent down upon our slave then bring a surah of the like of it and invoke your witnesses instead of Allah if you are truthful.
S 2:107 Did you not know that Allah, his is the dominion of the skies and the Earth? And you have no protector or helper instead of Allah.
S 2:165 And of people is he who takes peers instead of Allah. They love them like Allah’s love. And those who have believed are stronger in love for Lah. And if those who wronged saw when they see the torture that all power is Lah’s and that Allah is the severe in torture.
S 3:64 Say: People of the Book, come to a sawa’ word between us and you that we do not worship but Allah nor associate with him at all nor take one another as lords instead of Allah. Then if they turn away say: Bear witness that we are Muslims.
S 3:79 It was not for a human being that Allah should give him the Book and the wisdom and the prophethood then he says to people: Be slaves to me instead of Allah but: Be rabbaniyun because you have been teaching the Book and because you have been studying.
S 4:119 And I will mislead them and arouse desire in them and command them so they shall cut off the ears of cattle and I will command them so they shall change Allah’s creation. And he who takes the Devil as a protector instead of Allah has clearly lost.
S 4:123 It is not by your wishes nor the wishes of the People of the Book. He who does ill is rewarded for it and does not find for him a protector or helper instead of Allah.
S 4:173 And as for those who have believed and have done the righteous deeds, he pays them their wages in full and increases them from his favour. And as for those who have disdained and have been arrogant, he inflicts painful torture upon them and they do not find for them a protector or helper instead of Allah.
S 5:76 Say: Do you worship instead of Allah what has no power for harm or benefit for you? And Allah is the hearer, the learned.
S 5:116 And when Allah said: Isa son of Maryam, did you say to people, Take me and my mother as two gods instead of Allah? He said: Praise be to you! It is not for me to say what I have no right to. If I had said it, you would have known. You know what is in my soul but I do not know what is in your soul. You are the knower of the ghuyub.
S 6:56 Say: I have been forbidden to worship those whom you invoke instead of Allah. Say: I do not follow your desires. I would have strayed then and would not be of the guided.
S 6:70 And leave those who have taken their religion as a game and fun and the dunya life has beguiled them. And remind therewith lest a soul be handed over for destruction for what it has earned. It has instead of Allah no protector or intercessor. And if it should offer every ransom, it would not be taken from it. Those are those who have been handed over for destruction for what they have earned. Theirs is a drink of boiling water and painful torture because they used to disbelieve.
Wouldn't the drinking of boiling water constitute painful torture? And painful torture? Contradictions in the Qur'an: Good News About Painful Torture?
S 6:71 Say: Shall we invoke instead of Allah what neither benefits us nor harms us and we are brought back on our heels after when Allah has guided us? Like the one whom the Devil has enticed on the Earth, a confused man he has companions who call him to guidance: Come to us. Say: Allah’s guidance, it is the guidance and we have been commanded to surrender to the lord of the ‘alamin.
S 6:108 And do not abuse those they invoke instead of Allah so they abuse Allah in enmity without knowledge. Thus have we adorned for every nation their work. Then to their lord is their return and he informs them of what they used to do.
S 7:30 A party he has guided and a party he has recognised. Upon them is straying. They have taken the devils as protectors instead of Allah and they think that they are guided.
S 7:37 So who is more unjust than he who has fabricated a lie against Allah or has called his verses a lie? Those, their share from the book reaches them until when our messengers came to them causing them to die. They said: Where is what you used to invoke instead of Allah? They said: They strayed from us. And they testified against themselves that they were kafirun.
S 7:194 Those whom you invoke instead of Allah are slaves the like of you. So invoke them, let them respond to you, if you are truthful.
Are idols Allah's slaves?
S 9:16 Or did you think that you would be left when Allah did not know those who waged jihad among you and they did not take a confidant instead of Allah and his messenger and the believers? And Allah is an expert in what you do.
S 9:31 They have taken their rabbis and their monks as lords instead of Allah and the Messiah the son of Maryam. And they were not commanded but to worship one god. There is no god but him. Praise be to him from what they associate!
S 9:116 Allah, his is the dominion of the skies and the Earth. He vivifies and causes to die. And you have no protector or helper instead of Allah.
S 10:18 And they worship instead of Allah what does not harm them or benefit them and they say: These are our intercessors with Allah. Say: Do you inform Allah of what he does not know in the skies or on the Earth? Praise be to him and exalted from what they associate!
S 10:37 And this quran was not to be fabricated instead of Allah but is a confirmation of that in front of it and an analysis of the Book. There is no doubt concerning it, from the lord of the ‘alamin.
S 10:38 Or do they say: He has fabricated it? Say: Bring a surah the like of it and invoke whom you can instead of Allah if you are truthful.

S 11:13 Or they say: He has fabricated it. Say: Then bring ten surahs the like of it, fabricated, and invoke whom you can instead of Allah if you are truthful.
S 11:20 Those were not escaping on the Earth and they had no protectors instead of Allah. The torture is doubled for them. They were not able to hear nor did they see.
S 11:101 And we did not wrong them but they wronged themselves. So their gods that they invoke instead of Allah did not avail them at all when your lord’s command came. And they did not increase them other than destruction.
S 11:113 And do not incline to those who have wronged that the fire touch you and you have no protectors instead of Allah, then you are not helped.
S 16:20 And those they invoke instead of Allah do not create anything and they are created.
S 16:73 And they worship instead of Allah what does not possess provision for them from the skies and the Earth at all and are not able.
S 18:43 And he had no group helping him instead of Allah and he was not strongly established.

S 21:98 You and what you worship instead of Allah are gravel of Jahannam. You are going down to it.
S 22:12 He invokes instead of Allah what does not harm him and what does not benefit him. That--it is the far straying.
S 22:71 And they worship instead of Allah what he has not sent down authority for and what they have no knowledge of. And there is no helper for the wrongdoers.
S 22:73 People, a similitude has been coined so listen to it. Those whom you invoke instead of Allah will not create a fly even if they gathered for it. And if the fly despoiled them of a thing they would not save it from it. Weakened was the seeker and the sought.
S 25:17 And on a day he gathers them and what they worship instead of Allah and says: Did you mislead my slaves, these, or did they stray from the way?
S 25:55 And they worship instead of Allah what does not benefit them or harm them and the kafir was an assistant against his lord.
S 26:93 Instead of Allah? Do they help you or defend themselves?
S 27:24 I found her and her people doing sujud to the sun instead of Allah and the Devil has adorned for them their deeds and blocked them from the way so they are not guided.
S 27:43 And what she used to worship instead of Allah blocked her. She was of a kafir people.
S 28:81 Then we sank the Earth with him and his home. Then he had no group to help him instead of Allah and he was not of the helped.
S 29:17 You only worship instead of Allah idols and you create falsehood. Those whom you worship instead of Allah do not possess provision for you. So seek the provision with Allah and worship him and be grateful to him. To him are you returned.

S 29:25 And he said: You have only taken idols instead of Allah out of affection among you in the dunya life. Then on the day of resurrection you renounce one another and curse one another and your abode is the fire and you have no helpers.
S 29:41 The similitude of those who have taken protectors instead of Allah is like the similitude of the spider that has taken a house. And the weakest of houses is the spider’s house, if they knew.
Does the author think that a spider takes a web? Does he think that it's its house?
S 33:17 Say: Who is that which protects you from Allah if he has wanted evil for you or has wanted mercy for you? And they do not find for them instead of Allah a protector or a helper.
S 34:22 Say: Invoke those whom you have claimed instead of Allah. They do not possess a small ant’s weight in the skies or in the Earth nor do they have any partnership therein and he has no assistant from them.
S 35:40 Say: Have you seen your partners whom you invoke instead of Allah? Show me what they have created of the Earth or do they have a partnership in the skies? Or have we given them a book and they are on a proof therefrom? Rather, the wrongdoers promise one another nothing but delusion.
S 36:74 And they have taken gods instead of Allah; perhaps they will be helped.
Perhaps these gods would help them?

Guide what they used to worship to hell?
S 39:38 And if you ask them who created the skies and the Earth they will say: Allah. Say: So have you seen what you invoke instead of Allah? If Allah wants harm for me, are they removers of his harm or he wants mercy for me, are they withholders of his mercy? Say: My sufficiency is Allah. Upon him those who put their trust put their trust.

S 40:74 Instead of Allah? They said: They have strayed from us. Rather, we did not invoke anything before. Thus Allah misguides the kafirun.

S 42:46 And they had no protectors to help them instead of Allah. And whom Allah misguides, he has no way.
S 45:10 Behind them is Jahannam and what they have earned does not avail them at all nor what they have taken instead of Allah as protectors. And theirs is great torture.

Our lord, in you we have put our trust and to you we have turned and to you is the destiny.
