ask them shall we invoke apart from allah something that can neither benefit nor harm us and thus be turned back on our heels after allah has guided us? like the one whom the evil ones have lured into bewilderment in the earth even though he has friends who call him to true guidance saying come to us. say surely allahs guidance is the only true guidance and we have been commanded to submit ourselves to the lord of the entire universe and to establish prayer and to have fear of him. it is to him that all of you shall be gathered.
قل أندعو من دون الله ما لا ينفعنا ولا يضرنا ونرد على أعقابنا بعد إذ هدانا الله كالذي استهوته الشياطين في الأرض حيران له أصحاب يدعونه إلى الهدى ائتنا قل إن هدى الله هو الهدى وأمرنا لنسلم لرب العالمين وأن أقيموا الصلاة واتقوه وهو الذي إليه تحشرون
