to him alone should all prayer be addressed for those to whom they do address their prayers beside him are altogether powerless to respond to them. the example of praying to any other than allah is that of a man who stretches out his hands to water asking it to reach his mouth although water has no power to reach his mouth. the prayers of the unbelievers are a sheer waste.
له دعوة الحق والذين يدعون من دونه لا يستجيبون لهم بشيء إلا كباسط كفيه إلى الماء ليبلغ فاه وما هو ببالغه وما دعاء الكافرين إلا في ضلال
