I did not make them witness to the creation of the heavens (18:51)

﴿۞ مَّا أَشْهَدتُّهُمْ خَلْقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلَا خَلْقَ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَمَا كُنتُ مُتَّخِذَ الْمُضِلِّينَ عَضُدًا﴾
[ الكهف: 51]

18:51 I did not make them witness to the creation of the heavens and the earth or to the creation of themselves, and I would not have taken the misguiders as assistants.

These whom you have taken as friends instead of me are all servants like you.
I did not make them witness the creation of the heavens and the earth when I created them.
In fact, they were not even existent then.
I did not make some of them witness the creation of others.
I am alone in creation and planning.
I would not take those human and jinn satans who lead others astray as my assistants as I am in no need of any assistants.

I (Allah) made them (Iblis and his offspring) not to witness (nor took their help in) the creation of the heavens and the earth and not (even) their own creation, nor was I (Allah) to take the misleaders as helpers.
