Unto Him is the real prayer. Those unto whom they pray beside Allah respond to them not at all, save as (is the response to) one who stretcheth forth his hands toward water (asking) that it may come unto his mouth, and it will never reach it. The prayer of disbelievers goeth (far) astray.
دعوت حق [و راستين‌] از آن اوست، و معبودهايى را كه به جاى خدا مى‌خوانند هيچ جوابى به آنها نمى‌دهند، مگر مانند كسى كه دو دستش را به سوى آب باز كرده كه آب به دهانش رسد، اما نمى‌رسد، و دعوت كافران جز در گمراهى نيست
