21:17
لَوْ أَرَدْنَآ أَن نَّتَّخِذَ لَهْوًۭا لَّٱتَّخَذْنَـٰهُ مِن لَّدُنَّآ إِن كُنَّا فَـٰعِلِينَ ١٧
If We had wished to find a pastime, We could have found it in Our presence - if We ever did.
Had We intended to take a diversion, We could have taken it from [what is] with Us - if [indeed] We were to do so.
Had it been Our will to find a pastime, We would have found one near at hand; if at all We were inclined to do so.
