say shall we indeed call on others besides allah things that can do us neither good nor harm and turn on our heels after receiving guidance from allah? like one whom the evil ones have made into a fool wandering bewildered through the earth his friends calling come to us guiding him to the path. say allahs guidance is the guidance and we have been directed to submit ourselves to the lord of the worlds to establish regular prayers and to fear allah for it is to him that we shall be gathered together.
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
